Often times, I have clients ask how often they should have their deck or fence stained. The short answer: Most manufacturers will state every 1-3 years for decks that are in direct sunlight or take a beating from the elements with the seasonal states across the US. If there is a side of the deck or house that’s more shaded or protected by a pergola than those areas in direct sun, these areas may be able to withstand 5-7 years before needing to be stained again. Overall, when it comes to stains and projects, every project is unique and different, and if you are unsure, you should consult a professional painter that has experience in working with stains on homes, decks and fences as well. For those more inexperienced, the risk of uneven application, or incorrect application techniques could leave you with a lackluster finish, not only being unpleasant to the eye, but compromising the longevity of the entire staining project. As with any painted house or deck that’s been stained, you’ve probably noticed over time how certain sides of a house or portions of a deck may be weathered more severely. Usually, the appearance is that of a washed out lighter color, water stained, or even exhibiting peeled areas of paint or oxidated appearances showing that chalky look that won’t go away even with a good pressure wash job without use of strong chemicals. These above are all indications that the life of your paint or stain is nearing its end, and it’s time to perform another adequate application to preserve the wood, and the appearance of your most important asset, your home! With painting projects, there is a greater amount of UV protection upon application, which ultimately prolongs the life of your coating application in comparison to oil based transparent or semi transparent stains that still show the characteristics of the wood. The plus side to stains is they give homes character and aesthetic appeal. Nothing looks more beautiful than an accented beautifully oil stained fence or deck, or accented stained cedar shakes above some freshly painted siding. There are pros and cons for any type of stain you will use, such as a solid based stain vs a transparent or semi transparent stain and every scenario merits the use of one over the other. If you are unsure which type of stain to use for your next project or not quite ready to tackle the entire project yourself, consider hiring professionals such as Three Rivers Painting, who specialize in stain applications on both siding, decks and fences to leave you with a seamless customer experience and top quality finish. Hope to see you out there during the exterior season..

It’s that time of the year when the leaves start changing, falling and the weather starts turning.  A time for crockpot meals, warm fires, scenic drives and festivi ties. Along with this special time of the year as we transition into fall and winter and the upcoming holidays, it’s also a great time to take advantage of those interior projects you just didn’t get a chance to complete during the heat of summer. Transforming the interior of your home with a change of color and re-arrangement of decor can make a house feel like an entirely different place… renewed, clean, different. Perhaps you have an office space and need a color that sparks creativity or clarity. A bedroom with bland walls and no personality? Not to fear… maybe a touch of some earthy or calming colors to help you experience the calmness you need for retreat and a good nights rest. Have kids that have destroyed your trim and doors? (We do too..) the good thing is along with walls and ceilings that can be repainted, we also offer trim packages. It’s important when choosing colors to ensure the color scheme pair together, and this is why we offer assistance with color matching or color design choices. With 18+ years experience Scott and Three Rivers Painting will provide samples and color selections to ensure you stand behind your color choice before the project begins (after all, repainting the entire house can be a big project to undertake) So as we head into the colder months of this winter season, enjoy the special time with the upcoming holidays and remember there is no better time than now to schedule your next free estimate for your interior painting project. From wall, ceilings, trim packages and cabinets let Three Rivers Painting transform your home into something new you envisioned. From numerous 5 star reviews across various platforms, clientele and several years of business, this is what we specialize in, so let us complete it with efficiency and quality for you to have peace of mind.

As homeowners, sometimes the tasks seem never ending, and can run into costly upgrades and repairs. If you are contemplating having a full exterior painting or inte rior painting project completed but unsure whether to fully commit to the entire project consider the alternative of partial painting projects. Perhaps instead of having every room walls and ceilings, trim and doors repainted your simply looking for a color update on the walls and ceilings in one room. On the exterior, refinishing a deck or fence staining can bring vibrant life to your property and really make that decking or fence stand out as an aesthetic piece of your property. In the summertime, that hot sun can do a number on the facia trim boards with UV color fading or peeling paint on the body of the house as well. In these scenarios, some homeowners may opt to simply have one side of the house repainted for the season, or even just a garage door, front door or porch area stained. The only fair warning is homeowners often see how new and fresh their painted room or side of house look, and it sparks inspiration to continue the project! So fair warning, there are cost conscious ways to pick away at portions of your house one room at a time or side of the house, but you may end up just hiring Three Rivers Painting to complete the whole project shortly thereafter with the visible upgrade and results!
