Should you sand your fence before staining?

• <div><p>On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.</p></div>

Q: Can you make changes to your neighbor's fence?

• <div><p>You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels. </p></div>

Q: Does staining a fence prevent warping?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-apply-lasting-stain-your-wood-fence.htm">Staining a wood fence</a> isn&rsquo;t guaranteed to prevent warping, but it can help. Plus, it&rsquo;s a beginner-friendly DIY project that you can finish in a few days. If you want to try it, you&rsquo;ll start by stripping it of any old stain or paint, then sanding it. After that, you&rsquo;ll clean it and spot-treat any mold or mildew. When it&rsquo;s dry, you can apply the stain. </p></div>

Q: How often does a fence need to be painted?

• <div><p>You should repaint your fence every <b>1 to 3 years</b>, 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.</p></div>

Q: Should you paint your old wood fence?

• <div><p>You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you&rsquo;ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.</p></div>

H&M did an excellent job. Walls and ceilings were peeling off and they fixed it and painted it. See the before and after photos. They have also done plumbing work and lots of other projects.

They are very good at repairing and painting vehicles. I have been using them for 9 years. Their work is excellent and they have a quick turnaround time in getting the job done and they don’t overcharge. So it is value, service and dependability with them.

They did a great job of prepping the house for painting: scraped it completely, pressure washed it, & caulked very well. They missed several spots when spraying and had to return to do them. They did not replace all of my gutters and downspouts. They did not cover my windows and almost all...
