"The team at Elite Painting were great to work with! Ed is professional, communicative, and understands the needs of what you are asking for... his laid back AND professional demeanor made the entire process smooth and easy. The team were respectful of the property during every visit, quiet in the morning when arriving, and cleaned up after themselves every single day. Ed kept in touch with us to work around weather, (given we were doing exterior home painting) and worked with us to time the project at an optimal time in conjunction with our schedule and the weather. They were completely supportive of us sampling multiple colors for this major update and change (first paint in 30+ years!!!), and worked with us in every step of the way. We highly recommend Ed and the Elite Painting team for your painting needs!"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. 

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
