"Exceptional job and high quality work at very fair price. The Professional Painting Crew were on time for the job and clearly communicated their scheduled plans for completion of our projects. They did a beautiful job cutting-in the contrasting color detail around mouldings to create a custom designer look. The Crew is respectful, trustworthy and helpful; and maintained clean work areas during the job and all through to completion. I appreciated Randy's knowledge of the results based on prior experience with completing similar jobs. He understood my vision and exceeded expectations with a lovely outcome."

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.
