"We had our house in Winona painted this summer by La Crosse Painters. I have to say from beginning to end it was a pleasure working with La Crosse Painters and his crew! The owner responded to out initial call for a quote the same day. We have a two story house with a three story walk out that needed the exterior stained. John and Marshall came and were kind, courteous, and very professional. We have a German Shepherd so 1 was a little nervous on how she would be with them. Well she absolutely loved them and they loved her! With them being here every day it was so nice to have pet friendly guys doing the work. I highly recommend La Crosse Painting for any of your painting needs."

"Tommy and his crew did a great job re-staining our cabin and deck. Tommy communicated throughout the planning and painting process, which was very appreciated. He sent before and after photos to me because I could not be on site to see how it was going. Great experience working with him throughout the process. Highly recommended!"

"We hired Driftless Exteriors to power wash the exterior of an old building we purchased. The outside of the building was embarrassing with the disgusting build up. Driftless was prompt at being there at the time scheduled and notified me that he would come back to finish up the next day due to the algae needing extra setting time with the removal solution. I appreciated the fact that he wanted to do the best job to end up with the best result. I contacted him through facebook messenger and responses were always very quick. I would highly recommend Driftless for anyone's power washing needs!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Painting or staining protects fences from environmental damage, enhances durability, and improves curb appeal with a fresh, customized look.

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 time to stain a fence is when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Late spring, early summer, and fall are typically the best seasons for this project. You should avoid staining during very hot weather, like in the middle of summer, or when it is raining. Heat and moisture can cause the stain to dry unevenly. Likewise, if it's too cold, such as in winter or early spring, the stain may not be able to dry fully. Before you start, check the forecast to ensure there will be no rain and low humidity for at least a few days.

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. 

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
