"Josh has done all the work on our doors from the original application of a custom stain which I love. He has done an amazing job. He came back it has been 2 years just to put a new top coat to maintain the door finish."

"I can't recommend this painter highly enough! He did a great job. He even made my badly weathered deck look like new again. He did an amazing job masking and covering everything, power washed the complete exterior in preparation for paint, patched stucco cracks, always arrived on time, always responded to my questions in a timely manner, and just generally did everything to 100%. I'll absolutely be using him again!"

"Ronnie literally just pulled away from our home and I came in to write this review. I wholeheartedly concur with what the other reviewers/clients have written about Ron. From beginning to end, Ron was thoughtful, engaging, and very professional. He provided a detailed bid, including information on types and brands of paint to choose from, he followed up on any concerns I expressed, and maintained constant contact with us throughout the job. Ron, Jerry, John, and the team did an excellent job on our 2800+ sq. ft. home and completed the job in 3 hard work filled days. It was a pleasure to have such a decent team led by Ronnie complete this work for us. We will refer our friends and neighbors to Quality Performance Painting and, even better, we will use them again! Thank you Ronnie and team from QPP."

"Grace Painting Co. did excellent work and fast. Day 1: The Grace rep. looked over the entire house trim. We clarified all things to be power-washed and painted and I received a quote on price and time line. Day 2: Power-washed the eaves & trim and painting began. Day 3: Painting completed by end of day. Quality was great and the price was fair. I highly recommend Grace Painting!"

"Perez Painting was contracted to resurface and paint our patio structure and wooden features on the front of the house. All interactions went very smooth - from defining and quoting the project, down to timely execution of the 2 day project. As well, they went over and above the contact to paint other small areas that were not included in the original quote. They wanted everything to match. Their team worked very efficiency to get the project done on time. We have more painting projects in the schedule. Perez Painting will be the only call I will make. My wife and I were very happy with the results."

"Hired Ruben's to paint the exterior of my house after receiving a competitive estimate. We met with Ruben on day 1 and he walked us thru the timeline based on the work needed. He was on time and under budget and left the outside in better shape then when they arrived. Ruben was hands on and attentive every step of the way, letting me know what they were doing, from applying primer to my deck to repairing stucco and wood trim. I couldn't give him a higher recommendation"

"We hired Integrity Painting for several areas inside our home including the kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity, and laundry room cabinets. Jon and his crew did an amazing job. The paint they use is so durable and easy to clean! Jon and his entire crew were extremely professional, efficient and kept my home clean throughout the entire process. We would definitely hire them again for future projects. Highly recommend 10/10!"

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.

If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.
