"Great customer service! . Did a great job cleaning my gutters which hadn’t been done in 3+ years when my elderly mother lived here. He debunked the claim by others that the window screens had been sealed into the window panes & couldn’t be opened! Thinking this was dangerous in event of an emergency, someone cut a hole into them so I’d be able to get out! Mr. Soss will be replacing them , is going to recauk areas around my bathroom vanity & tub& will be painting my basement door. I trust him unlike others who did shoddy jobs!"

"Emerson and his crew did an excellent job on my wood lattice-work, porch and base of house painting. They performed careful preparation of the area to be painted, then applied the two exterior painting coats as advertised. This crew will work with you on the job to be done and provide an on the spot estimate which proved to be the final price. I couldn't be happier with the work completed."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don’t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.

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.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

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.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.
