"Wolfgang’s estimate was competitive with others that I obtained but I chose him because of his professional handling of the job revenue and his estimate presentation. He and a helper completed this job in less time than he projected. They worked diligently. They were neat. And they did a high quality job. I would hire this company for my next interior painting need."

"We recently hired Donnie and his crew to paint the interior of our home, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. They showed up on time every day, communicated well and respected our home. The job itself was flawless with clean lines and even coats. Their pricing was competitive, and we felt we received great value for the quality of work provided. We definitely recommend F&D Painting."

"We contacted Shield Painting after realizing that we were in over our heads trying to paint our 1200sqft home ourselves on a tight timeline. Isaias came out within an hour of us contacting him (on a Saturday afternoon, nonetheless) to give us a quote. The quote was EXTREMELY competitive and they were able to get in and get the job done first thing Monday morning. The entire house was painted in 1 day. We were absolutely thrilled with the job Isaias and his crew did. We are 2 weeks into our home now and not a day goes by that we don't talk about how worth every penny hiring Isaias was. We will definitely be contacting Shield Painting if we have painting needs in the future! We can't thank you enough for making our house feel like home"

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.

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.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

We don’t recommend it. A wired brush or a brush with metal bristles damages concrete and asphalt during the stain removal process. For the best results, stick to nylon stiff enough to do the job but gentle enough to keep from scratching the driveway. For extra caution, skip the brush entirely and use towels.

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.
