"We are very pleased with the painting project Peters Painting Contractors completed in our older home (it was built in 1947). The crew are skilled craftsmen who were a pleasure to have in our home. They took the time to prep- repairing several areas of plaster ceilings and walls, sanding and cleaning baseboards and taping areas to protect non-painted surfaces. They used quality materials to paint two large rooms, the ceiling in a third room, and lots of trim. The result is beautiful! They completed the job promptly at a reasonable cost. We highly recommend Peters Painting Contractors."

"Employees were very personable and did excellent work. It's the second time that they have either painted or stained for me and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I never even bothered to look for another company because I was so pleased the first time around."

"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"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I canâ t say enough good things about Andy and his guys. From the very beginning, Andy was an awesome communicator, friendly, personable, and was extremely thoughtful about making sure that weâ re happy. He gave us fair pricing, all of the guys worked hard, and they got it done really quickly. The results absolutely blew us away. Their painting has allowed us to fall in love with our home, and I will recommend these guys to everyone I know. Thank you so much to Andy and your team!!"

"Kenzie did an outstanding job of planning and coordinating all aspects of the project, including arranging services such as a visit from a designer who brought paint swatches. The painter, Luis Ruiz, was definitely an expert, who did a flawless job of painting and provided extra services such as taking down and re-hanging mini blinds. I would recommend Ultra Painting to anyone who wants a complete, hassle free painting job."

Painting questions, answered by experts

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

Staining a wood fence isn’t guaranteed to prevent warping, but it can help. Plus, it’s a beginner-friendly DIY project that you can finish in a few days. If you want to try it, you’ll start by stripping it of any old stain or paint, then sanding it. After that, you’ll clean it and spot-treat any mold or mildew. When it’s dry, you can apply the stain.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
