I love all of the Finish Max products, but for big projects, the Homeright Finish Max Pro is the best option. It’s more lightweight because the motor is separate of the spray gun. My niece Leann and I made a deal. I needed some old fence boards for my Etsy shop, and she wanted a new fence. I got a great deal on some new boards, and she is carefully taking down the old boards and saving them for me. Then the nice folks at Thompson’s WaterSeal offered me a chance to try out their new waterproofing stains. They have 5 colors and each come in

  • Transparent (Provides complete outdoor wood protection by adding subtle color)
  • Semi (Adds beautiful color while still allowing some wood grain to be seen)
  • Solid (Hides the wood grain while allowing wood texture to show)

 

 

fence-beforeSo, off I went with my HomeRight Finish Max Pro to tackle Leann’s fence. I don’t remember exactly how many sections of fence she has, but she’s been slowly replacing the boards whenever she gets the time. I of course love the look of the perfectly weathered gray boards.

thompsons-waterseal-finish-max-proLeann chose Acorn, in the Transparent finish. I have my trusty Finish Max Pro all ready to make this job a breeze! It’s great for all paints and stains, but because the Thompson’s WaterSeal is water based, it sprayed great and cleanup was easy too!

spray-fence-finish-max-proUsing an extension cord, the power cord and the hose on the Finish Max Pro allows me to reach all the way down the front sections of fence. I started on the left and worked toward the right. Leann chose not to replace the 2×4 cross boards, and I like the way the Thompson’s WaterSeal helps all the boards match better, even using the Transparent option.

thompsons-waterseal-stain finish-max-pro-thompsons-watersealLeann got in on the action too! She chose to do the wide horizontal spray option for the vertical boards, then spin the nozzle around to do get a vertical spray to do the cross boards. The Finish Max products all have an adjustment that will spray a pattern from 1-6”.

paintbrush-handy-for-dripsI keep a chip brush in my Finish Max bag—it really comes in handy if I have drips. I just kept it in a tub of water and shook it out if we got too close to the fence and got a run. The Thompson’s WaterSeal is a great consistency for spraying. It does say “do not thin”.

Homeright-Finish-Max-Pro-stain-fenceLook how great the fence looks, and how there is very little stain on the grass! That’s my favorite part about the Finish Max products, so little over spray! TIP:  The Finish Max Pro comes with two paint cups. We tag teamed this job. While someone was spraying, someone else was filling up the empty cup with stain. It really was a time saver!

  1. We have recently transferred to Asheville NC from Charleston SC. Life went from flat-lander to mountaintop. Living on the side of a mountain means your deck becomes your yard… or Deck Yard is 14’x97′ on one level and 14’x 20′ on the other, with two very steep and long stairways between them… That’s a lot of decking to maintain. Having the Homeright Finish Max Pro would mean a near perfect finish, in a lesser amount of time, and more time to enjoy family, friends, and reading your blogs. Thank you so much for the chances to win items on your blog. I enjoy your posts very much and have learned so much!

    All the best of life

  2. This would be such a huge blessing to win, We are just buying a new house and every surface needs to be repainted!!!!!! My husband lost his job last year and we have been living with family while we get back on our feet, It’s been a long year and we are looking forward to being in our own space again! Can’t wait for all thes DIY project!!!

  3. We just built ourselves a new back deck last summer and Ive been wanting to paint it! its a pretty big deck, its a 12X12. We put Thompsons Waterseal on it also, BUT we used a mop and boy that was a mess…. not to mention it didnt cover as well and left little fuzz balls all over the deck. not good and not happy! ….but with the chance to win the HomeRight Finish Max Pro I could achieve my painted deck I want 🙂

  4. I need to re-seal our small front deck and back porch to begin with, then help my sister refinish a few pieces of furniture for her home. We could sure use this sprayer. Thanks to you and HomeRight for a chance to win this great giveaway!

  5. We just bought our first home and our fence looks awful. It is half stained – half I don’t know what. We would love this to tackle that big project. Looks like fun!

  6. My home is 115 years old…we’ve natural “chippy” all through out! I’ve several outdoor porches, doors and shutters that need attention desperately. Thanks for the chances!

  7. It looks amazing!! I would love a finish max pro! I have to do my gazebo and my fence this summer and this would be perfect! Thanks for the chance Gail! Fingers crossed!
