"I had two rooms that needed to be repainted. I tried to do it myself but quickly realized I was out of my depth since I know nothing about what to do with peeling paint on the ceiling and walls. So, I decided to try Angi's list since I know the contractors are vetted. Abraham was the first to call after I submitted my project. He quickly set up a time for a quote the next day. I was satisfied with the amount and happy he was able to adjust to my schedule as I work full time. The "mudding" and painting only took two days. The results were fantastic. It's so satisfying to look up at my ceiling and not see peeling paint here, there and everywhere. Really, it's like a brand new room. Thank you Abraham and company for the good job! I look forward to more painting projects in the future as my little 1958 house needs a little help."

Painting questions, answered by experts

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
