"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."

"My new favorite contractor in Bellingham. Actually, I think the only one I've liked this much to even have a favorite. True pros, very responsive and communicative, plus super nice to deal with. They painted the inside of our house from ceiling to floor and the results were just amazing. Every day that I came to check on the progress, they surprised me with how detailed they were. We had discussed clean seam lines; they gave us clean seam lines. I asked them to please not paint over the brand new hardware; no painted over hardware. I asked to please protect the wood floors; all floors were covered. I emailed my list of selected paint colors, accents and where they go, and they actually kept the list and followed through on itâ  AND they cleaned up their own mess. I list all this to show how detailed and caring they are about your property, which is not a common trait with all contractors. Kudos to the Evergreen team and thank you so much for contributing to our home looking so awesome!"

"Back Country Painting is absolutely the Best! We needed the interior of our house painted and were in a bind for time. Caesar and crew came to our rescue and did an outstanding job. Everyone at Back Country bent over backwards to quickly help us and at a very fair cost. The crew (including office staff) was professional, courteous and clearly all worked well together. We were amazed when our 2100 sq ft home was finished in only 3 days (and the crew worked over a holiday to help us out)! Our next project is the exterior and there is only one company I will call - Back Country Painting."

"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!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

Pricing depends on prep work, paint/stain choice, area size, scaffolding needs, and detailed trim inclusions like precision-balanced windowsills.

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.
