"They didn't really pay attention to detail. They slept paint on outlets door knobs window sills that another company had to clean or clear the paint so that I could open the windows lock doors and to use the outlets. They also recommended me to purchase an enormous amount of paint that I never used."

"David and his son were extremely professional and friendly, they are very efficient and made sure the job was done right.they also accommodated me when I asked to change a color at the last minute, with no extra charge. Out of the three estimates I got they were the most reasonable and in the end my house looks amazing!!I had my entire exterior painted including the shutters,my stucco repaired and painted ,and the entire garage painted. I would highly recommend them !!"

"We’ve used Steven for a variety of projects during the past several years, including fence repair, electrical work, drywall replacement, baseboard repair, wallpaper removal and painting to mention a few. He is a true professional, providing fair estimates, and completing projects on time and according to estimated costs. In addition to performing professional services, he cleans up the project area after each day and he shows up to work at the time he’s promised. I have nothing but high praise for the work he has done for us and recommend him highly for a whole array of projects."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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 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.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.
