"I hired Perfect Line Painting to paint 10+ rooms/spaces and repair some cracks. I had walls, trim, doors and ceilings painted in all of those rooms/spaces. Sandy does an AMAZING job. He is very detail oriented and takes extreme pride in his work. My situation was somewhat unique in that I hired him from out of state to complete the work before we moved into our new house. Sandy spent over an hour on the phone with me while he was walking through my house to make sure we were on the same page. During the job, he frequently sent me pictures asking how I wanted something done. His honesty and integrity impressed me the most as once we agreed on a price (very reasonable!) and he got started, he noticed the previous painters painted over wallpaper. He could have done the same thing but instead patched all of the walls and/or removed the wallpaper so that the creases did not show. He didn't even ask for an any additional money for all of that increased labor, though of course, I gave him more. To say Sandy goes the extra mile is an understatement. I have already recommended him to several people. I think the best compliment for a business is to have a return customer and I will definitely be calling him again to finish the rest of our house."

"Highly recommend!! I researched several construction contractors for 2 months prior to relocating into our home, and I am truly grateful I made the decision to hire A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC, to manage the various and multiple tasks I knew I wanted completed. A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC. did not disappoint as a general, multi-tasking contractor. If Mr. Roman Mcbrayer (owner and founder) could not complete a task himself, he knew exactly who to contact to get the job done in a timely manner. I hired A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC. for the following: * Repaint the interior walls of my home. * Install a backyard fence. * Install electrical work, to include additional outlets in & out of the home. * Install a utility sink in our laundry room. * Install an elevated, extended concrete driveway with building pad. * Instrumental in delegating an A/C repairman to service our air conditioner. * And our biggest project - Convert an open wooden deck into a large 2-tier, enclosed porch with covered grill station. Not only was Mr. Mcbrayer knowledgeable and professional, but his crew was just as professional, respectful and very hard-working, possessing the abilities and knowledge to complete any task successfully with excellent communication skills as a team. Their strength and stamina to endure peak-summer heat temperatures with every project they were asked to execute was phenomenal. More importantly, Mr. Mcbrayer (A+ Custom Remodeling, LLC.) can keep track of everything going on and sets priorities to get things done very efficiently and effectively. A reliable and skilled business owner who ensures completed projects quickly with great results."

"They did a fantastic job! The deck is in good shape, but had never been sealed or stained. Therefore, some mold had gotten on it and it just needed to be stopped before it got any worse. They cleaned it very thoroughly and all the mold is gone! Their communication was awesome as well.
They are coming back in a week to paint our front door and shutters, and then coming in early October to seal our deck. We look forward to future projects with them as well!
Would recommend them to anyone!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Limewash and whitewash are two techniques used to give brick a light, matte finish, but they differ in composition, application, and permanence. The best choice depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific surface.

Composition

  • Limewash: A natural and environmentally friendly option made from limestone, water, and sometimes pigments. It is breathable and soaks into porous surfaces like brick.

  • Whitewash: Traditionally made from lime, water, chalk, and binders, but a similar look can be achieved with watered-down white paint. It is paint-based and sits on top of the surface.

Appearance and Finish

  • Limewash: Provides a natural, textured appearance that allows the brick's character to show through. It offers a more traditional finish.

  • Whitewash: Creates a softer, more opaque finish, often used for a rustic or shabby-chic style.

Application and Permanence

  • Limewash: Is semi-permanent and can be removed, making it a good choice if you might want to change the look in the future. It requires more skill to apply and cannot be used on previously painted brick.

  • Whitewash: Is a more permanent solution. It is more forgiving to apply and can be used on painted brick. However, because it sits on the surface, it can trap moisture.

Ultimately, if you want a breathable, natural, and reversible finish for unpainted brick, limewash is a great option. If you need a more permanent, opaque coating that can be applied over painted surfaces, whitewash is the better choice. Whitewashing may also be more economical, costing approximately $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.
