"In short, Joel does excellent work at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend! We hired Joel in conjunction with repairs to an upstairs bathroom. Our plumber needed additional access to the shower plumbing, so had to cut out a section of the plaster wall in the bedroom on the other side of the bathroom. We hired Joel to repair and paint the wall and to paint the bathroom. Joel first scheduled a stop at the house to get paint samples in order to match the existing colors of each room. He then quickly patched the wall one day and came back the next day to paint the entire bedroom wall and the bathroom. The new paint matched the old perfectly and everything looks great! You can't tell where the patch was and he did a really nice job avoiding the wallpaper border at the top of the bedroom wall. The paint in the bathroom also looks fantastic. Joel also cleaned up like a pro - we couldn't even tell he was there. We strongly recommend Joel and will definitely hire him again!"

"Shared with Public - Home Advisor Culver's Painting recommendation Josh and Alex at Culver's Painting were great and easy to work with. We had a husband and wife team, Javi and Griselda, stain our cedar siding and shutters, and they did an excellent job! Absolutely no complaints at all. They were detail oriented and we would highly recommend Culver's if you have any painting project. We love our new look!"

"Nick (Pioneer Painting) did an excellent job painting our new basement rec room. Nick was responsive to all of our questions and he was willing to fit us into his schedule. He was polite, he cleaned up his work area after finishing the job and he did the job for his quote. We would hire him in the future."

"The crew of Devon and Pierce were knowledgeable, pleasant and patient as I interrupted them with questions about the steps in the painting process. That was appreciated as much as the beautiful work completed. Dependable. Would use their service again as well as refer others to them."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

If possible, it is beneficial to paint both sides of your fence to protect the fence more completely from the elements. Painting both sides of your fence will create a more consistent appearance as well. However, the time and cost involved in painting both sides of the fence may cause people to paint only the side they see.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

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.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.
