"We could not be happier with the end result. Our house was transformed from a drab one color house to a vibrant, attractive and welcoming home. The curb appeal is great but when you look close the quality and detail are immediately evident. Everyone associated with Pete's business was professional, friendly and focused on making us happy. Our neighbors were impressed with he hard work and results. Looking great in Exmore thanks to Pete!"

"We had 17,000 gallons of water destroy our vacation townhouse. Living 400 miles away and not having anyone to rely on I checked Home Advisor. Pete was there the next day. Worked with the insurance appraiser and but the house back together. He called us with updates and any issues. After meeting Pete we felt we had picked the best person for this huge job. He looked out for our best interest. Can't wait to vacation again."

"Lilly's Painters did an excellent job.  We used them again to paint an accent wall a darker color several months later. They also painted our one bedroom condo interior approximately 2 years ago.  Lilly and her husband are professional and prompt.  The work they do is really great and they work quickly.  We will continue to use them and have referred them to our friends who have also used their services and been very pleased."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Both a roller and a brush are effective methods for painting a chain link fence. A roller will make the job easier by ensuring symmetrical strokes and reaching the backside of the fence as well, which cuts down on paint time. However, a brush is often necessary for painting the base of the fence and near the posts due to its ease of reaching smaller spaces.

If your cedar fence is new, don’t delay. Unlike treated pine, you don’t need to wait months for the wood to dry out for it to accept stain. With cedar, the sooner, the better. Seal cedar within two weeks of installation to prevent the sun from fading its red color.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

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.
