"Ruben offered a competitive bid, was available to start the project promptly, and completed the work ahead of schedule without cutting corners to do so. The prep and painting were very well done, the crew was hardworking and pleasant. Ruben kept me informed as to their progress throughout the project. Definitely would hire Ruben Roman Painting again!"

"They removed the old surface of kitchen cabinets and painted them. They were careful to make sure no paint or spray got into any other part of the house. Their quoted price did not change. I highly recommend them!"

"We hired Yonan and team to paint the exterior of our house. We added board and baton and there was a ton of touch up and patch work as part of the prep. The communication was top notch, the team was courteous and professional, the job was done quickly, and it looks amazing. We couldn't be happier with the work! We now have a reliable painter for all our future needs. Thank you!!"

"Recently we hired Prestige Custom Painting to do a small exterior job. The mark of excellence in painting is the amount and care that goes into preparation. Prestige met and surpassed our expectations. They were meticulous in preparing our trim work for painting. The result was beyond what we thought possible. In addition they were extremely careful and tidy. No drips. No spills. And they cleaned up the work area perfectly Finally, they were punctual. A dream for us We will definitely be booking Prestige Custom Painting to paint the rest of our house this spring."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

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.

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.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.
