"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!"

"Wow, Culver's Painting came highly recommended and they painted the entire interior of our home, including the paneling and cabinets in the family room. We could not be more pleased with their quality work and fair pricing. They painted our home as if it was their own, great attention to detail, great staff on the job, nice guys, very polite. Our home is in Brookfield, I'm a 40 year resident here and a Realtor for over 30 years, so I know a lot of contractors and Culver's Painting is #1. Honestly: "The value of our home has increased at least $25,000" and I should know, I'm an experienced Realtor and I know this market. Thank you to Josh and the guys.

"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."

"Noah’s work was excellent. He was careful, thorough and conscientious. His painting of our house was perfectly done. He went above and beyond and repaired some damage done to joists and sills, etc. He’s a real find and we’re sure to call him again for repairs and other projects. We’ve recommended him to our friends."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

You should inspect the area regularly for rust, clean it with a wire brush, repaint it every few years, and apply a protective sealant to prevent corrosion.

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. 

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

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.
