Transform your home with Sanchez Painting. Our locally owned and operated business is proud to serve Columbia and the surrounding suburbs. With our expert painting services, we bring a fresh and vibrant look to your interiors. Contact us today to give your home a stunning makeover.

"We hired Sanchez Paint three months ago to paint our front porch and backyard deck. They did such an outstanding job at a competitive price that we hired them again now to stain 150-feet of fence in our backyard. This is a family owned and operated enterprise with a low overhead that allows for quality work without overcharging. As I requested, Sanchez was able to perfectly match the stain for my fence with that of my neighbor. They worked diligently and professionally all day under a scorching heat to produce an outstanding job. The painters used a brush, a roller and a spray gun for two coats of stain and meticulously went over the smallest details. There was very little mess to clean up and they made sure not to get stain on the grass or house walls. We need interior plaster and paint done in our house in the future and will once again call on Sanchez Paint due to their reliability and excellence. USC Professors Antonio and Carlina de la Cova"

Small projects paintings or stainings FAQs

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.
