"Bill and Mark are amazing! They painted seven rooms in our home and completely transformed the space. Their work is top notch, and they were fast, professional, and detail oriented from start to finish. As the project went on, we kept adding to the scope, and they were incredibly accommodating, fitting everything into the schedule without missing a beat. They communicated well, showed up when they said they would, and clearly take pride in their craftsmanship. If you’re looking for painters who deliver high quality work and outstanding customer service, I can’t recommend Bill and Mark highly enough!"

"Howard Painting responded quickly when I called to ask for an estimate. I had two bathrooms that had to have the ceilings, walls, and cupboards painted. I had the estimate within 24 hours, and scheduled the day for the project to begin. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, we're extremely professional, completed the job in a timely manner and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. I was very very happy with the results! I will be booking my next project with Howard Painting as soon as I figure out what room is next. Thank you TK and Ray for making my day, and turning two somewhat dark bathrooms into nice bright and clean areas."

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.

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

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.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
