"Needed to sand and stain a mid-century style wood ceiling on a short timeline due to other work scheduled immediately after the project. Rubumco did an excellent job of prepping all the rooms, carefully protecting the existing painting walls, before they carefully sanded with dust collection equipment to keep everything clean. They did a great job of touching up ceiling beams and making crisp paint lines to make the ceiling really pop. Will definitely use Rubumco in the future for other paint work."

"Evergreen Painting I had to manage my paint project from Arizona so from the start it presented many challenges. Being out of state made it difficult to get contractors on the phone and get them into my home for an accurate estimate. Fortunately, I found Andrew at Evergreen Painting. He was flexible, sharp on communication and very thorough on what my paint project needed. While in Arizona he maintained constant communication and provided me with updates on how my place was going. Without having to be in WA state to see it I knew the project was on schedule and looking great. In my experience, that level of customer service is hard to come by with other companies. Prior to contacting Andrew I spent weeks talking with different GCs and painters to get timelines and estimates but unfortunately the vast majority of them were unclear about their timelines, poor on communication, or unavailable when I needed them. Andrew was clear with his timelines, available to complete the project and more importantly he was on target with his initial estimates. It can be frustrating working with trades and having different costs come up during the project only to have the final invoice be higher than the initial estimate. Andrew and Evergreen Painting did it ON budget and completed days ahead of the initial deadline. Give a quick rundown on what work I needed done, my home (built 2005) had original beige walls and wood trim everywhere. It definitely needed an refreshed look. He and his team did a phenomenal job repainting my walls, ceiling, trim, doors, door frame, window frames, and cabinets in all rooms. Essentially every inch of the home was painted. We opted for agreeable grey walls and alabaster white for ceiling and trims. The place turned out amazing. The quality of paint he selected and recommendations for my home were top notch. You can spend hours going through Google business, HomeAdvisor, Yelp etc to try and find the perfect painter like I did or you can call Andrew at Evergreen Painting. I wouldnâ t hesitate to contact Andrew again for any future projects."

"Admirable professional attention to detail during prep, staining, clean up and end of job walk around our cedar-sided home. Crews were a pleasure to have on site. Office staff was pleasant to work with and went out of their way to be helpful. Couldn't be more pleased."

"Trim Line Painting quickly responded to my request for External House Painting quote. I selected them (from multiple quotes) because they had experience with staining a cedar structure, their price was fair, they provided references and photos of previous clients. Glen (owner), was very good about letting me know the scheduling of my project and when he would be on site. This was a great experience and I highly recommend your consider Trim Line Painting for your next project!"

"Indica Construction did an amazing job for us. They could have simply painted our trim and gables and leave. They discovered demonstrable rotten wood and trim and addressed it perfectly. They wrapped our home with a beautiful paint job with an emphasis on longevity. We are grateful for their skills and professionalism. Thank you Indica Construction!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

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.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

Select based on wood type, climate tolerance, and personal preference for color and finish, with choices like oil-based stains for longevity.
