"Manny did an awesome job. He was very reliable, and his attention to detail was exceptional. He did an excellent job with sanding and staining. My deck and swing set look brand new. I would hire him again for future projects. We are very satisfied with the final result and I highly recommend his services."

"I had my exterior painted by George last spring and we were very satisfied with his results. My wife loved how the exterior came out. Now we needed a room painted and had George do it for us and again he did a fantastic job. He addressed every item we asked about and the result was another fantastic painting job. P.S. also a great price!!! Would hire him again when I need anything else painted."

"We are beyond grateful to Mike and his team at Purely Paint for the paint jobs they did on our bedrooms. They were professional from start to finish. Mike responded within an hour of me reaching out and after asking a few questions and requesting a few photos he provided a quote which was reasonable compared to his competitors. He provided his team’s availability and was able schedule the job within a week. He came to treat one of the more complex walls two days advance and the had his team complete the main job which they were able to complete in half a day. Notably, since we had chosen a dark navy color for the master bedroom they recommended a third coat of paint to ensure the quality of the color and went through the trouble of doing so even though it took them extra time. We could not be happier with results and will definitely be recommending Mike to all our family & friends!"

"Absolutely amazing!! Have used them several times because there is not much they cannot do. Very responsive and did an unbelievable job, as always. Had them fill in nail holes and cracks in new crown molding, in addition to painting, and it looks flawless. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Yes, you can paint a chain-link fence, but you don’t want to use spray paint. With the spray method, you’ll be losing a majority of your product to the air, given the size of the gaps in chain-link fences. Instead, use a paintbrush for your fence posts and a paint roller for the wire.

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

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 should inspect the area regularly for rust, clean it with a wire brush, repaint it every few years, and apply a protective sealant to prevent corrosion.
