"They painted everything the same color. They painted the molding, doors, fixed some rot under the window, and painted the closets. They did a very nice job and I am very happy. The owner is a pleasure. The crew was very nice. They were prompt and did what they said they were going to do. They were able to finish the job within three days. I am very happy."

"This company far exceeded my expectation ! I am a very particular person and a bit of a perfectionist. It has been very difficult to find a painting company that met my standards. I will never use another company again! Precision painting plus are true experts. They are professional, efficient, kind, reasonably priced, and timely. Painting is always a dreaded project due to the mess it leaves behind. Not with this company! They were incredibly clean! I had all interior and exterior doors and trim prepped and painted, as well as some wall repairs. Efrain and Billy were our painters and were exceptional! Tyler was our project manager that made sure we were happy and was very accommodating to all of our asks no matter how ridiculous! This is the company to use for all your painting projects!"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Preparation includes cleaning the fence, sanding any rough areas, applying a primer if necessary, and ensuring dry weather for application.

The best finish for wrought iron railings is either a semi-gloss or a gloss sheen, as each offers good durability against rain, wind, heat, cold, and snow. 

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
