"ESP Painting did a wonderful job for us. This is the second time we've used them and we were happy both times. The first was painting the outside of a large home and they paid attention to detail, cleaned up every day, repaired pieces that needed to be repaired and were extremely easy to work with. We had several rooms painted after that and, again, they did a great job. Eric is easy to communicate with, pays attention to details as you walk through the job and finds solutions to every problem.

Higgins Painting's number one priority is to build long lasting relationships by exceeding its client’s expectations on every project. Whether you are a Home Owner, Business Owner, or General Contractor; Higgins Painting is the professional company that you have been looking for.
"Higgins Painting had done excellent work for me a few years ago at my prior home, and they did so again at my current home. I hired them to repaint the living room ceiling as well as the stairway and upper hallway, including both walls and trim, with a very high ceiling above the stairs. They were both prompt and professional at every step, from the in-person quote, to scheduling (which occurred much more quickly than I feared), to performing the job. They were very clear during the quote process, answering all my questions about the estimated charges. Their quote was a bit higher than another painter's, but that painter gave an estimate based on photos (not in-person) and I think the quote was fair and well worth it. Execution of the paint job was excellent, and I especially appreciated them insisting on coming back to put on a third coat when the agreed-upon two coats of wall paint were sufficient. Clean-up was immaculate. Finally, everyone I interacted with was friendly and pleasant. Highly recommended!"

It's best to stain your new fence after the wood has fully dried, which usually takes about six to eight weeks after installation. Waiting ensures the stain adheres properly, giving your fence lasting protection. Staining a fence usually takes three to five days. You'll start by cleaning the wood and letting it dry for at least 24 hours. After applying the stain, you'll need to wait 12 to 24 hours for each coat to dry.
Paint lasts longer than stain—about five to 10 years compared to stain's one to eight years. Painting requires more prep work and multiple coats, but offers a durable, long-lasting finish. Staining is less labor-intensive and allows the wood's natural beauty to show, but may need more frequent reapplication. Consider your maintenance preferences and desired look when choosing between the two.
Yes, you should stain both sides of your fence. Staining both sides provides complete protection from weather, moisture, and pests, extending your fence's lifespan and keeping it looking good. If your fence borders a neighbor’s property, communicate with them about splitting the cost of staining both sides of the fence or work out an agreement that satisfies both parties.
