"It went GREAT! Scott was absolutely wonderful. His work is impeccable! He covered everything before he started - floors, furniture, etc. I was amazed. I would have had more paint on me than on the walls. It looks great. I wish I had known about him when I had my home painted years ago. Love his work! I will definitely hire him again."

"I highly recommend the work, customer service, friendliness, and professionalism of Oscar Gomez. I hired him to re-stain my perimeter fence, to seal my concrete patio, and to repaint my patio pergola. His prep work and finishing were excellent. He took great care to protect my house, landscaping, and patio furniture as he worked. Cleanup was spotless. Oscar communicated well throughout the projects both in person and via texting. Oscar is a kind person, easy to work with and willing to go the extra mile to please the customer. I highly recommend him."

"My highest recommendation I have ever given to a contractor. Diaz Painting painted my house the first week of November. The weather was constantly changing between rainy, windy, to nice. Diaz Painting tarped sides of my house to keep the paint protected. I was home the entire time working in my office. The painters were pleasant and hard working. A very positive experience at a fair price."

Painting FAQs, 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.

The best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.

Routine staining or sealing and periodic inspections to extend life.

The best finish for wrought iron railings is either a semi-gloss or a gloss sheen, as each offers good durability against rain, wind, heat, cold, and snow. 

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.
