"Before I hired them, I had another highly rated company come over to give me an estimate on painting the exterior of my aluminum gazebo. I was informed that it would be very expensive to paint and I should just tear it down and replace it even though the gazebo was in excellent shape except for the roof that was oxidized. Then I had Five Star Painting come out. Wow, what a difference both in knowledge and professionalism. My gazebo was painted by them yesterday and it looks brand new. They use only high quality paints. The painters were so careful and wonderful workers. The supervisor made sure every inch was covered in paint. The gazebo looks amazing. This winter I will hire them to do some interior painting. Also, the price charged was very fair. I will absolutely go with them and not even get estimates from other contractors. Five Star Painting us truly a five star company!"

"We are very impressed and pleased with working with Drew and his crew from our first meeting to the last walk around with Drew. They listened to what we pictured in our minds then guided us through the process of selecting colors. Drew and his crew started by pressure washing our home. Then they came and rapidly and professionally prepped our home for painting. Next the came and painted our home with the three colors we picked for different areas of the exterior of our home. They are great young men who worked not stop, always cleaned up at the end of the day. The entire process took four days. We have Cedar siding, many wood framed windows and cement block lower all being painted with three different stain and paint colors. They were courteous and positive and seemed to enjoy the work they did so well. We are completely satisfied with their professionalism and beautiful job they did on our home. John Bigham. Mankato Mn"

"Aneil and the staff were very professional. The project was thoroughly discussed with us before they started. Aneill made excellent color suggestions. They arrived when expected and completed the project when anticipated. The things in our home were well cared for while the crew was painting. I would recommend Aneil and 4 Lakes Painting to anyone!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

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.

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first.
