"My husband and I hired Vista SC Painting recently to complete some projects before we have the exterior of our home painted. The work that Vista Paint completed on our house was the following: 5 exterior doors + large front entrance door were refinished (sanded, stained, and sealed—front and back), they did a re-stucco and re-seal of the parapet walls, and they re-coated and sealed the roof. Bryan was very communicative via emails, texts, and phone calls; we value clear communication in general, but it is especially important during home projects where scheduling, logistics, and our specific requests and needs are concerned. Bryan also gave us a more favorable quote out of 3 quotes we got from other contractors, so we were pleased with his fair pricing. We plan to contact Vista SC Painting again fairly soon to schedule an exterior paint for our home and the wall that surrounds our property based on the positive experience we had with them."

"Luis has removed all the popcorn ceilings and painted every room in our house starting in the summer of 2009.  Up until this last project everything went smoothly. I picked out what I thought was a very pale green for our living room and dining room. When it was finished it looked like mint ice cream.  Needless to say that's not what I wanted. Over the next 2-3 weeks I had painted over 30 samples of colors of what I thought I might want which changed from a green to an off white. What was in the sample jars was not what it looked like on the walls. Finally Luis came over to look and we decided what might work.  I guess the green made all the samples not look what they should.  But the final outcome is perfect.  He even painted baseboards because the next project is having new flooring put down.  Now that the whole house is done I suppose at some point we will have to start over and I will certainly call Luis again. The total cost,of course, included the repainting.

"I needed the exterior of my house painted and needed it done soon. I contacted and received quotes from two other well-known painting companies and really was not happy with their estimate quotes. I saw Wildcat Painting Company, LLC as an area company and contacted them for an estimate. They not only came in with a lower bid but even after a couple of â no pressureâ recommendations from the job foreman they were still the best price. Alex was exceptionally good about working with me on this project and very respectful of me and my requests. The foreman and crew that painted my house were all very respectful of me, my time, and my property. No trash or messes were left behind, and I even had a hard time seeing where they had cleaned up. THE PLACE LOOKS GREAT!! And finished in, what I consider, record time. I am so glad I went with Wildcat Painting Company and will use them again should it be needed. I would and will recommend Wildcat Painting Company to others for their painting projects. Thanks Alex and crew!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

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

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.

We don’t recommend it. A wired brush or a brush with metal bristles damages concrete and asphalt during the stain removal process. For the best results, stick to nylon stiff enough to do the job but gentle enough to keep from scratching the driveway. For extra caution, skip the brush entirely and use towels.
