"All the employees from the sales person, to the 4 painters that were here, were very professional. The job was completed even earlier than expected. The entire indoors was primed and painted with the colors and finish I had chosen. I am extremely pleased with the job done!! After not being painted for 20 years, it looks like a whole new house here. All the smoke and nicotine stains, and a prior water damage repair are now gone, as well as the smells. I will gladly recommend INMARS Painting Solutions to others. Thank you very much for quality work at a very fair price."

"When I contacted C&G Painting Company LLC, Carlos provided a same-day estimate for painting the exterior of my brother's very neglected house that was built in 1939. The crew arrived the day after we agreed on the price, power-washed the house, made repairs as needed, and painted the house. How they managed to make the house almost look like new is a miracle. Despite having to travel 20 miles outside of Menominee, Michigan, this crew completed the work in 3 days. If every painting contractor provided this type of exceptional service at a very reasonable price, everyone with a frame house could keep it looking beautiful. I highly recommend C&G Painting Company LLC."

"Tommy and his crew did a great job re-staining our cabin and deck. Tommy communicated throughout the planning and painting process, which was very appreciated. He sent before and after photos to me because I could not be on site to see how it was going. Great experience working with him throughout the process. Highly recommended!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

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.

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.

Maintaining a composite fence is pretty straightforward, as it doesn’t require staining or repainting. To keep it clean, scrub the fencing with a composite deck cleaner or hot, soapy water. Use a soft-bristle brush for the best results, and avoid using pressure washers or sanders. Plan to clean your fence at least twice a year. Scrubbing the fencing in the fall and spring can help prevent mold and mildew growth.
