Customers say: Quality work

"Manuel and his crew were amazing! The prices were great, especially for the quality of work. We bought a new house and had all of the dark brown kitchen cabinets painted a high gloss light mint color, 3 kitchen ceilings painted, all 3000 square feet of interior walls (which were UGLY and a billion different colors when we bought the property) painted light grey, master bed room ceiling painted a dark grey, 1200 square feet of old carpet and padding upstairs pulled and new put in, 1000 square feet of vinyl plank floors laid over tile downstairs (which included putting down self-leveling concrete first), and a french door that didn't seal when closed fixed. We bought the carpet, padding, and vinyl plank ourselves because we had already picked it out. Everything else was provided by Affordable Painting. Our total out of pocket to Manuel was $6365 with their 10% off Angie's List coupon for interior painting ($1665 for cabinets, $2700 for all painting before AL coupon, $100 for broken door, and $1900 for flooring install) and and it took a total of 7 or 8 days. We plan to eventually have the exterior of the house painted by Manuel and if we ever have other handy work that needs to be done, we'll see if he can do it before anyone else!"

"Yellow Rose did a fantastic job painting our house. They were extremely careful to keep the paint on the walls and off of everything else! And they got done a day early. If we ever decided to paint again we will definitely go with them."

"Working with Nathan and his crew was the absolute best. He was so professional, patient as we took a while to make decisions, and he gave great recommendations. Their entire office was so professional, their follow-through was amazing. The crew that came out and did the painting were so nice, polite and professional. They took great care and making sure all of our stuff was covered as to prevent splattering. They were so quick and did such an amazing job. We absolutely love it. We asked for a couple of last-minute changes and they did it with no question. Their pricing was spot on in comparison to other companies but their pre-work and guarantee, along with how great they were to work with sold us right away. I have no hesitation recommending them for any painting projects that you have!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

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.
