"Shelton Painting, Inc. subcontracted our exterior house painting job to Alexis Painting, LLC. Items of note for Shelton/Alexis: - Alexis Painting parked in our driveway, blocking us from getting into our garage, and did not move when we came home. - Alexis asked once for water, which we were happy to provide. A few hours later they knocked on our door and asked for more water when two other painters showed up. - Even though the Shelton Painting quote stated, “no exterior painting should be done immediately after a rain, during foggy weather, or when rain is predicted” Alexis painted our house up to the point it started to rain (rain was in the forecast for the whole day). The paint was not dry when the rain started. - The masking Alexis used at the base of our house blew up during the rain shower and stuck to the wet paint (there was nothing weighing down the plastic masking). We, as homeowners, had to go out and peel the masking off of the house and weigh it down. The masking left a texture in the paint. Some paint was also stuck to the masking. When Shelton was called about this issue, Todd was angry/defensive and stated “it all can be fixed.” They did “fix” it, but there is still a slight texture in the paint. - The painters left empty pop cans, bottle caps, and we found a razor knife blade in the lawn when they left for the day. Our child could easily have run though the grass and gotten cut. - Came home one day (after work) to find two painters sleeping under our tree. When we woke them up and asked what was happening they stated they were waiting on material. As they did not seem to have a vehicle at our home, I assume they were dropped off and left to work. I don’t want to think about where they went to the bathroom during the day. They lied back down after talking to us and appeared to go back to sleep. - Alexis painted our front door shut (to the weather stripping). The painters had to use a razor knife to separate the door from the weather stripping. A paint ridge was left on the door where the weatherstripping meets the door. Our overall impression is Shelton Painting does not manage their subcontractors. Shelton’s subcontractor (Alexis Painting) lacks professionalism. However, the overall painting Alexis performed seemed fine. Shelton Painting does not seem to know what is going on with their subs, and at least in our case, they were more about telling you why you are wrong then trying to make it right. For us, there was too much drama in working with Shelton Painting and their sub, Alexis Painting."

Quality work, minimal disruption. We realize that having your space overtaken by a paint crew isn’t exactly the ideal situation. That's why we've created a smart painting process that eliminates the hassle and mess you usually get with a painting project. Our personalized, detailed proposals clearly outline our services rendered and the total cost of the job. Our painters then work from the proposals, ensuring every project is completed on time and on budget. We deliver both speed and quality so you don’t have to shift your whole life around. And you won’t even smell paint fumes after we’re gone—we also use zero VOC paint, which is better for you and the environment.
"We unfortunately didn’t have a good experience with Wow. We selected a matte sheen for our interior and they used velvet, didn’t repair nail pops, & used a long nap roller, leaving an orange peel texture on our previously smooth walls. We had some areas needing sanding which were not properly done. To be fair, when we raised concerns, they returned promptly & did a nice job fixing the exterior. They applied 1 coat of matte to the interior, again using long rather than short nap roller we requested. 1 coat didn’t fully cover the shine and orange peel remained. My husband preferred to attempt a fix ourselves rather than having them return again, so we told them it was better. We told them we applied a 2nd matte coat with a short nap roller to further reduce shine and smooth the walls. They did not acknowledge this or offer any rectification. We paid $2400 for our interior, applied 2nd coat ourselves, and are stuck either living with orange peel or paying another company to fix it."

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.
