"My experience with this company was outstanding. My house needed wood replacement because of dry rot, we needed vinyl stripping replaced, holes filled in with caulking. They also picked up all their trash and supplies so that when the job was done it looks great. I would highly recommend anybody to use this company. I am thrilled with my house."

"I took a chance on Painting America and Remodeling to paint the exterior of my house and boy did I hit the jackpot! Excellent customer service from start to finish - Jose and his team addressed all of my concerns and requests, arrived on time, were very efficient, and were a pleasure to work with. They did a beautiful job for a very reasonable price - I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. I will definitely contact them for future projects."

"Alex was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! His knowledge and passion for his work is very rare these days. He is fast, very clean, and very respectful. I was on the fence about either replacing my cabinets entirely, or taking a chance with painting them, let me tell you, I am beyond happy with my decision to hire ALR Painting to paint my cabinets! Alex directed me to Marie at Dunn Edward's in Roseville, she sat down with me, went through colors that fit my personality and compliment my home decor, I took advantage of the free color rendering, and we found the perfect paint color's. It truly looks like I paid tens of thousands for new cabinets! I have gotten the most amazing compliments from my friends and family. I am already recommending ALR Painting to anyone that is thinking about painting their home. ?"

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.

Ensure gutters and downspouts remain clean, monitor wall integrity, and promptly address any arising imperfections or peels concept permanence rooted.

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.
