"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."

"Stephen and Marvin and their crew did an exceptional job from start to finish on our painting project. They are true painting professionals, and not only did they do a quality painting job but the whole experience of clean up and the time it took them to complete the project went very smoothly and at a very reasonable price! Without question we highly recommend Paint the DMV and would definitely use them again….they are the best!"

"Great experience from receiving quote to revising estimates to getting the job done. Quality was excellent and professional. There were a few places where paint had gotten onto our wood trim and they were able to get it cleaned up immediately. Only area for improvement was estimating how much paint was needed. We had to make 3 trips to the paint store over 2 days because they kept needing more paint!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

Yes, you can paint galvanized chain link, but the process is a bit more difficult as it requires additional prep work. Before applying the primer and paint, you must remove the original coating from the metal, which can be time-consuming. If the original coating is not removed, the primer and paint will not bond properly and cause peeling over time.
