"We are very PLEASED with the professional manner in which the team made our home MYCH more attractive. They arrived at the time that they stated they would and made sure they cleaned the area they were working in before they departed. We will certainly recommend this pro for anyone who needs a professional paint job for their home. I do not have photos at this time because we are still replacing pictures/ decorations on the walls."

"Roland and his team did a fantastic job, they hit the trifecta: 5 star quality, 5 star service and 5 star value. Roland gave us great advice that helped us pick the best quality paint. His team was also very professional and went above and beyond by touching up a few spots on the ceiling from a prior paint job (we just bought the house). Roland also completed the job ½ ahead of schedule."

"This company did an awesome job for me! It was a whole lot of work, he & his helper worked really hard on a couple of very hot days. He cut vines off a garage that had been there for 20 years, it was a mess, he trimmed it back close but not bare as I asked, next he removed a jasmine that was7-8 ft tall,15 ft. Long, 4 ft. Wide, big job, I wanted it gone, he dug out roots with a pick axe, very hard work, did it all with a smile! He was 10 min. Early every morning, cleaned up the yard of all debris, took several loads to landfill. Price was fair! I would definitely call him back, I know he would be here on time! Thank you Brenin!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

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.

A dry lawn is easier to edge than a wet one. When your ground is wet, your blades will likely clump together, making a seemingly even cut while wet, but an uneven disaster when dried. Also, a wet lawn can impact your blade's performance and cause mud to kick up, resulting in a messy finish.

Maintaining a composite fence is pretty straightforward, as it doesn’t require staining or repainting. To keep it clean, scrub the fencing with a composite deck cleaner or hot, soapy water. Use a soft-bristle brush for the best results, and avoid using pressure washers or sanders. Plan to clean your fence at least twice a year. Scrubbing the fencing in the fall and spring can help prevent mold and mildew growth.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
