"Jeff Desatnik painted our living room, dining room and front hallway. We had difficult flaking paint on the ceilings of both major rooms and detailed areas that required trim repair and wallboard new work and repairs. Jeff is a superb craftsman and has the critical eye for detail and the excellent skill set to complete the job on time and on budget. We are extremely pleased with his workmanship and his ability to work in our home with minimal disruption. We highly recommend him!"

"We were completely happy with the spray painting of our unfinished basement ceiling. Nik and Brandon showed up at the scheduled time. They worked efficiently: did a very good prep work, painting and clean up work. We were so pleased that we already lined up the next job with them drywalling and painting some walls in our basement. They have great work ethic and are very professional, respectful and polite."

"Chris and his team painted a deck with multiple wood walkways leading off the deck, stained a lattice, and they also stained the wood that we have on a building that we use for a patio/entertainment area. There was a lot of work involved with these projects. They handled the job quickly and with perfection! Awesome work! The wood looks new again has a beautiful natural glow to it! We will for sure use Chris and his crew for many future projects!"

"Frank provided excellent customer service, as well as, an outstanding completed project. From painting my entire condo, installing new flooring throughout the main floor, completely redoing the bathroom including removing the tub and installing a beautiful walk in shower, to installing a new kitchen sink and counter tops, I am more than pleased. I would definitely hire Frank for any future job. Strongly recommend Frank and his team."

"Andy does it all. He painted every square foot of our home, including trim and doors. Repaired trim and drywall. Installed appliances. Hung fans and light fixtures. And more! The quality of work is outstanding and his attention to detail is exceptional. We are asking Andy to work on exterior matters this Spring and Summer. Andy cleans up at the end of each day. He is meticulous and being very picky homeowners, we appreciate the quality of his work."

Painting questions, answered by experts

If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.

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.

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.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.
