"We are very pleased with the overall experience with Tommy and his crew. They were prompt, polite, and showed attention to detail. We had our cedar sided cottage and outbuildings stained and sealed. There was some damage from woodpeckers that they repaired. It looks refreshed! We highly recommend them!"

"Russ did an excellent job on our bathroom remodeling project. He was professional, on-time, and most importantly did great work. He worked through some tough issues in a collaborative way. He didn't just dive in an do it the cheapest or the easiest way; he had a conversation with us and gave us the options. Once we agreed upon an option he took care of everything without ego. I never got the impression that he was trying to take the easy way out. I would absolutely hire Russ again, excellent experience!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

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.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

If your cedar fence is new, don’t delay. Unlike treated pine, you don’t need to wait months for the wood to dry out for it to accept stain. With cedar, the sooner, the better. Seal cedar within two weeks of installation to prevent the sun from fading its red color.
