In Town painting just finished painting the whole exterior of my house. I couldn't be happier with the way they treated me. They really know about paints. They worked hard and I believe that I got good value for my money. This is a large home and now it really looks good.

That 1 Painter. The stucco partner did an excellent job. The color match is perfect too. I would recommend this contractor to anyone with stucco problems. In addition he painted my shutters on the front of the house. He came on time and completed the job in two days

Manny was so great to work with! He gave us the best quote and was honest in letting us know that the whole roof didn't need new wood, only half. I really appreciated that. Half of the roof was in really bad shape and there was a little accident where one of the workers fell through, but they...

The end product was good but would not recommend spray procedure for a lived in home. Rolling would have been cleaner, easier and even faster. I believe it lays a thicker coat pf paint on to enhance longevity.

Not sure why Home Advisor listed Colorful Painting in my list. I am sure they are very reputable. I just didn't contract them or use them.

Fence 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.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

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.

Yes, many fence repair services include finishing treatments like sanding, priming, repainting, coating, and rust treatment. These services help restore the fence's original appearance, protect it from corrosion, and enhance its aesthetic appeal. However, since offerings can vary by provider, it is best to confirm what is included before scheduling the work.
