"Anthony's crew did high-quality work through a difficult situation. I recently had siding replaced on my house and needed it painted. The siding contractors finished later than I expected, and I didn't engage Anthony until October. Prior bookings and heavy rains meant he didn't start until December. Anthony's crew worked carefully through the cold and damp, painting in the warmest parts of each day and using heaters to ensure the paint would dry properly. We put the final trim work on pause until weather got better. Anthony actually took the initiative to contact me to come back and finish. Anthony talked with me every day, consulted with me about details, and took personal responsibility for making sure the job was done right. His crew was on time and worked diligently throughout. I think Anthony underestimated the time his crew needed consistently - even day-to-day. But quality was more important to me than speed. "

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.
