Marcelo responded to my request immediately and was able to start the very next week. I worked side by side with Marcelo while he painted and I worked on the repairs. He is very pleasant, attentive to detail and did a fabulous job. I highly recommend American Painting and will definitely be using Marcelo for my other properties."

"I cannot say enough good things about Del Mar Painting. They stained our front door, did stucco work and painted the exterior of our home.

"I contacted this company via Angie's list and was very honest that I only needed 2 rooms painted. They contacted me promptly and sent an estimator the next day. The estimator, of course, tried to upsell me on having the entire condo painted. I advised I really only needed the two rooms. He advised he'd send me a quote for the whole condo, but that he could adjust it down if I requested. When I requested a quote for what I had wanted all along, 2 rooms, he told me the job was too small for them to consider. When I contacted the company about this experience, one of the owners contacted me and agreed to do the job for $1,200. The painters contacted me on their final day and when I went to do the walk through, they left a mess. They also broke my disposal by pouring paint/painter's tape down the sink into the disposal (I saw them dumping a bucket into the sink when I arrived home). I turned on the disposal and it was clearly broken. I put my hand into the sink and pulled out painter's tape. I let the owner know that the painter's broke the disposal and he initially told me they'd fix it. The day he said he'd send a handyman, I was unavailable and asked if they could do another day. I've not yet heard back, so I guess they are not going to repair the disposal that their painter broke."

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.
