"I have used Manor Works multiple times for indoor and exterior painting. This time they refreshed my deck, which was in pretty bad shape, with a waterproof stain and sealant. Victor gave me a very reasonable estimate with options. Esmerelda and her crew did an outstanding job. She kept me apprised of everything they were doing and why. Her team was prompt, professional, and hard working. Esmerelda went out of her way to make sure the paint/stain matched my current color, which I had really wanted. I've always been happy with the various Manor Works teams and will continue to use them for all my painting needs."

"Marvin and his paint crew did an outstanding job painting the front and back of my house! As requested, they also caulked around the windows and painted my front door with the paint color I provided. Marvin even stopped in and touched a couple areas that required additional paint. Overall, I am happy with the paint project results on the front and back of my house. I would definitely recommend Paint the DMV to anyone needing their painting projects completed."

"These guys are incredible. Best contractors I've worked with in Ashburn. Two experienced painters spent 5 days doing a superb job. At first, I thought maybe there should be more painters so the job would be completed quicker, but these two guys had solid experience and worked extremely well together. When they finished a room, it was ready to move back into. They removed outlet covers, light fixtures, and anything that blocked the painting effort. They sanded the walls, and fixed every tiny flaw they could find. I am absolutely amazed at how good it looks now that they are finished. They clean everything up to perfection and left our house in perfect shape. I highly recommend Let's Roll. Their price was very reasonable and the quality was first rate. I will definitely use them again whenever I need painting done."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

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.

If you paint a vinyl fence, it will likely stick to it for only a brief amount of time. This is because vinyl is not a porous material, so it's not an ideal surface for holding paint. Initially, paint will stick to your fence, but it will eventually peel off. Applying primer before painting your vinyl fence will help paint last longer. Certain primers are well-suited to vinyl, which means you can paint vinyl siding with the proper preparation.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.
