"Overall, this was a great experience. M&K Custom Painting showed up ready to work! When the job was completed they offered to return if I found anything that may need touching up. I found out that this offer was genuine and not a gimmick. I had some stains show up through the paint after it dried. I brought this to M&K's attention and they came back to touch the area up. Thanks M&K for a job well done!!!"

"Cody did wonderful work. Work ethic was great and you could tell he really cares about the work that he does. Very personable too. Always kept in contact with you about what would be done next. I would hire again if I needed some more drywall done."

"We got a couple of estimates and went with WBR because of great personal recommendations from previous customers.This crew of 3-4 guys, led by Jim, was outstanding. They were on time and put in full days every day. Cannot say enough good things about how neat and tidy they were, both with the job site and their painting. Our house has four high peaks on uneven terrain and a great deal of cut-in trim work and they handled it with great precision. Gutters were taken down, not painted around, nail pops and dings were fixed before painting, they took as much care as possible with landscaping, had drop cloths everywhere and cleaned up each area, each day. When they were done, there were no drip marks and not a speck of paint left behind on windows! We've had many contractors over the years and WBR gave us the best "total" package. They were on time, on budget, professional, and respectful of the property. We highly recommend WBR. Thanks for a beautiful job, Jim, Alex & Nate"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

Staining a wood fence isn’t guaranteed to prevent warping, but it can help. Plus, it’s a beginner-friendly DIY project that you can finish in a few days. If you want to try it, you’ll start by stripping it of any old stain or paint, then sanding it. After that, you’ll clean it and spot-treat any mold or mildew. When it’s dry, you can apply the stain.

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.
