"Do NIT hire this company. His pictures do not show all the flaws. How they have been in business for 11 years is beyond me; everything Emiliano tells you are lies including his pitch about his family being Christian. My husband power washed our deck to make the job easier and give the deck 2 days to dry. Within a couple days Mother Nature blew some leaves and pine needles on the deck which should have been removed (guess Emiliano doesnâ t know what a blower is). Needless to say he stained all the pine needles in between the boards. There are brush marks all over the deck including the rails. Stain is on our siding and sliding door frame. Stain is actually peeling off the step within 2 weeks. Emiliano was suppose to meet with us today (October 21) NO SHOW. when my husband texted him he said he was in a car accident. When I called him thereafter he came up with every excuse about all the flaws and of course never stopped by. If someone cannot admit to their mistakes they are unworthy to believe in or hire. Please save your money and DO NOT hire Emiliano Casas 224 578-2567, you will be out your money and be very disappointed. My 5 year old grandson could have done a better job. He is very untrustworthy, please do not fall for his lies.."

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.
