"Jay and his crew did an excellent job painting the interior walls of my home. He communicated clearly ahead of time about what needed to be done, so I always had a good understanding of the process. The work was completed within the expected timeframe, and I’m very pleased with the results. Thank you, Jay."

"Jesse and his team showed up on time or early, were very efficient, and had great skill and eye for detail. They stripped old paint and smoothed wood where needed before a very good paint job on the exterior of our house and sanded the decks so expertly before re-staining them! I would highly recommend this company and already give referrals to our closest friends for their company. They are craftsmen, very skilled, and respectful!"

"DK Painting did an excellent job. Dan came out soon after I called and gave me what I thought a fair quote. He could not do the job right away but said he would move up the date if he had an opening. He did as promised and moved the job up. The paint looks great. We have wood siding and they took the extra effort to make our 45 year old home look like new."

"We have a very unique colored tile roof. When we moved in the color of the house boarded a light peach. While the peach color did match the roof, we hated the color. Nathan worked with us to get a color that not only matched the roof but also looked neutral and clean. He was great! His crew were efficient and nice. They showed up when expected and got the job done in a few days which was great since I was home with a newborn. It looks amazing one year later!"

"Eddy got the job done over several days. It was a big job to re-stain front door and panels and molding inside and out. Also re-stain patio door inside. The front door had older-style hardware. We could not find a replacement hardware set so Eddy refinished and painted the old set. It turned out beautiful! Eddy also painted my very high window wells in the family room. beautiful. Eddy and his helper, Claudia, are very nice people, professional and pleasant to work with. I will hire Genesis painting the next time I need work done. Their work is first class."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.

Rags used with oil-based stains are highly flammable and can spontaneously combust in the right conditions. To reduce the fire risk, throw them in a metal container after use and add rocks on top to secure them. Add an inch of water and seal the container. Take the rags in the container to a hazardous waste factory as soon as possible.

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.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.
