"We currently have Peters Painting doing interior painting of a large part of our house including cabinets. In 40 years with multiple painters we have never had such a great experience, Eric was so helpful in arranging the painting and making sure this complex job was done correctly, The crew of Steve, Reggie, and Jason were compulsive about detail work and did an amazing job and were so pleasant to deal with, This company is top-of-the line quality but reasonably priced, I would recommend them to anyone. They are a community treasure,"

"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"

"Louis was great to talk with for the estimate, explaining in detail the work that needed to be done. Colin did great work on our drywall patch around a new shower surround install. Colin took the needed time over a few very humid days to allow the drywall compound to dry and shrink between layers, before he finished a nice job of painting. Our thanks to both for a nice fresh bathroom!"

"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

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.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

The best way to prepare your vinyl fence for a paint job is to clean it with warm, soapy water and rinse it with a hose or pressure washer on a low setting. Be sure to let it totally dry, then sand the surface before applying an epoxy-based primer. After the primer, you're ready to paint your vinyl fence.

You should repaint your fence every 1 to 3 years, depending on the appearance of wear and tear. Weather and usage will factor into how often you should paint another coat on your fence. If you need to replace a few fence boards or posts, you may want to consider repainting the fence to help protect the rest of the fence as well as the new pieces against damage and deterioration from being exposed to the elements.
