"Mr. Williams did a good job on our ceilings but the messiest work, in regards to cleaning. There was none. My house is covered with residue. We have to have walls repainted due to ALL the spillage from the ceiling work. Our hardwood floors needs a good cleaning. The shoe tracks are all through our foyer. Also, instead of a full day of work, the 2 man team only works half days, making it longer for the work to be done. No masks noted, and cigarette butts in my yard. Let me just say in fairness, the job was decent, but I would like to recommend them, but in honesty regarding cleanliness, I WOULD NOT and CANNOT!!! I love kindness, but when it comes to your investment, you have to take in account everything. We now have to bring in someone for painting and who will use drop cloths. Oh yeah, make sure to get a contract for accountability."

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.

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

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

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.
