"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 FAQs, 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.

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.

Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the color of the existing siding or walls. Most professionals offer this service to ensure the repaired area blends in seamlessly.

The best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.
