"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

If your cedar fence is new, don’t delay. Unlike treated pine, you don’t need to wait months for the wood to dry out for it to accept stain. With cedar, the sooner, the better. Seal cedar within two weeks of installation to prevent the sun from fading its red color.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

You shouldn't paint a metal fence. Painting doesn't necessarily damage a corrugated metal fence, but these types of fences are meant to flex, and paint can easily chip and break off. Latex paints can address this issue, but those tend not to be very weather-resistant. Certain paints can trap moisture in the corrugation, which can rust the metal and lead to corrosion. And finally, if you paint a copper fence, it won't patina, which is one of the main reasons people buy copper.  

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.
