"Excellent Work and Outstanding Service! I found Jose Rosales Painting through Angi’s List and couldn’t be happier with the results. Jose provided a fair quote for painting our studio/garage and made the process effortless—I simply selected the paint color, and he handled the rest. The transformation was completed in just one day. The lead painter, also named Jose, was detail-oriented, meticulous, and courteous throughout the project. His professionalism and positive attitude made it clear he takes pride in his work. Our studio now looks sparkling clean and beautiful. I highly recommend Jose Rosales Painting and will definitely hire them for future projects. Thank you!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

"The house exterior was power washed, the stucco was repaired, cracks in the wood filled, peeling paint was removed and the entire exterior of the house was painted including the patio cover. When the job was completed, the painters cleaned up and left paint for touch ups. My house looks terrific. From the outside, the house looks brand new. I am very satisfied with the painting, and I would recommend Rick Jamison Painting to anyone looking for a painter."

"We recently hired CB Paint & Decor to paint our marketing room in a flat black finish, and the results are fantastic! The team was punctual, professional and paid close attention to detail. They took great care with prep and cleanup, and the final result completely transformed the space. I highly recommend them for any commercial painting project!"

"I had the best experience with Affordable Painting Company! Robert was great to work with and helped me figure out colors etc! Then they provided Sherman Williams paint which was excellent quality. Vince, Domingo, and their team were professional, meticulous, and friendly throughout the process. It's important to have a team you can trust when it comes to home improvement projects. I would highly recommend Affordable Panting Company."

"I left for work upon arrival of the painters(7 man crew). When I arrived home, they had finished approx. 95% of paint job. Mistakenly, they painted garage door white, and painted the accent wood on front door and landing white as well as back door. I pointed out their mistake & without any attitude, they promptly repainted the areas my selected color. The foreman also returned to touch up some areas that I requested. My aunt is going to have them paint a building for her and my son has an apartment building he plans to request Mr. White do the paint job."

"Rodriguez Paint and Finish came in and took a six year old paint job with a bunch of holes from different picture frame changes, peeling paint, incomplete patches, and two different colors as there was a decorative border and turned it into a dream room. I love dark colors and we got a accent wall with a dark color while the other color was a light paint, they complemented each perfectly. He was able to finish the job in a timely manner and provided us the extra paint for later touch ups(we have small children and things happen). I am very happy with the job and look forward to using the company for future projects."

"I hired Kevin to paint two interior bedrooms while I was away on an international vacation, and he did an amazing job! From the beginning he offered highly competitive prices and clear communication that made it easy to set a date and time to have the work completed. Kevin stayed in touch and was highly responsive throughout the whole project, which took a lot of weight off my chest. The work was done to a high quality standard. I will definitely be calling him again for my painting needs"

Painting 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.

Yes, many fence repair services include finishing treatments like sanding, priming, repainting, coating, and rust treatment. These services help restore the fence's original appearance, protect it from corrosion, and enhance its aesthetic appeal. However, since offerings can vary by provider, it is best to confirm what is included before scheduling the work.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

The best way to prepare your vinyl fence for a paint job is to clean it with warm, soapy water and rinse it with a hose or pressure washer on a low setting. Be sure to let it totally dry, then sand the surface before applying an epoxy-based primer. After the primer, you're ready to paint your vinyl fence.

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.
