"I would 100% hands down recommend Charles & Alex Painting to everyone! I submitted an inquiry on a Friday, received a call just 15 min later saying they could come out and do a quote and was here about 20 min later. They started just 2 days later on that Monday, worked all day Monday and just a few hours on Tuesday and they had the whole house complete! We could not be more satisfied!!"

"I hired the AZ Painting Co to repaint the exterior of my small stucco home. They also replaced some rotting wood and power washed a small stain on my block wall. At the time they were offering a 10% discount. I thought they did a great job, worked quickly and efficiently and I would definitely hire them again!"

"Great! Rick, Rob and Rob Jr showed up right on time and set to work. Cleaning, sealing and masking prep work and a lot of the painting done the first day, with finish on second day, in spite of massive wind storm over night. Thoroughly professional, helpful in explaining the job to me, suggestions for colors, super cleanup after. House looks WAY better than it has in many years. Top marks altogether and highly recommended! R and R delivers."

"Exterior painting of our house and exterior cinder block walls and planter boxes The crew showed up on time and ready to work (even in the extreme heat). Crash of Rhinos actually had a spot open up a month before our scheduled date- so we were happy to take it! My mother in law (who lived with us) got sick so the crew had no problem delaying painting for a day. When my MIL passed away unexpectedly...we received a sympathy card from Crash of Rhinos as well. The speed/professionalism/courtesy of their workers is great... and we have no complaints! I will not hesitate to call them for any future projects...And I have referred two others to them for for painting as well."

"These were specific style doors and it was a new ad. On and the door for that room needed to match perfectly. I use them because I know there. Stained ability is pretty awesome. She told by that picture. They matched it right on. The home owner that I was doing this work for that. I hired them to do it for was extremely pleased."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

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.
