"Justin was great to work with from beginning to end. His quote was reasonable for the exterior staining and painting of our three story home. The Redemption NW team did a fantastic job! You can see their expertise and attention to detail in the finished product. Also they cleaned up nicely at the end of the project and every evening that they were working on site. I highly recommend this company!"

"MS Painting Services and their reasonably priced crew did a stellar job bringing our old Craftsman back to life. We weren't looking for a complete restoration, just a nice prep and repaint. Hiring a house painter is a tough decision and we were so glad we hired Mario. We talked colors and came up with a winning combination. The job took a little longer than we planned but we figured every extra day they were working on the house was another day this house needed it. Of course there were hiccups along the way due to the age of the house. Mario and his staff were always gracious and ready to listen anytime we had a question or concern about the work being done. We can list many examples of how this company exceeded our expectations. The main one is by looking at the finished product. Our house is beautiful and the new paint job really makes a statement. The skill set is wide ranging. They replaced some of our siding and also stripped and stained our porch floor. Honestly, given the pandemic and all, we are sad to see them go. It was nice having them around, they are that nice. I did notice the crew seemed happy to get cold beverages at the end of the day and a nice lunch towards the end of the project. We can't say enough good things about this company. They will get it right and take care of any issues along the way. Hire them with confidence. Is it customary to tip your painter? Well, it is now!!!!"

"Christian was very professional and friendly. He painted all the high areas on my house that I couldn’t reach. He went right to work and was done in a few hours plus he arrived on time. He was also very thorough and extremely clean and organized. I highly recommend Christian for your next painting job."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

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.
