"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

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. 

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
