"G.Z.L. Painting ( Adam ) was awesome ! The house has never looked better in the 22 years we have lived here ! Had it painted twice before and just never looked like this did with final product. Always very attentive to the details and beyond expectations ! He dealt with our time line, pets, and overall any curveballs when we needed to leave or run out. Even after leaving the site, always clean and very thorough job ! Thanks again Adam and your hard working crew !"

"I am so thrilled with the painting Manny and the team completed. They did an excellent job from beginning to end. They took our painting needs for our home and brought it back to life. They were professional, clean, kind, courteous, detailed and went above and beyond to get our painting job done. They offered a fair price to complete all the projects. We loved them so much we continued to find more and more work for the team to do. We had our home exterior and interior painted, the deck repaired and refinished. Manny was able to match our unique interior paint colors from previous owners with flawless execution. He is the most knowledgeable, talented, fair, Professional and kind painter I have ever met. They are extremely hard working and will complete any job perfectly. He goes above and beyond what is expected. He makes any dream come true! We are so fortunate to have been blessed with their painting presence. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for top notch painting in any high end home! Sincerely, Karen Jeffery-Wheeler"

"Paradise Painting did an excellent job repainting the exterior of my house. Adrian was very professional in all aspects of the job. Major prep was needed on the wood siding in the front. He did not rush the job, making sure the walls were fully dry and prepped before applying the paint. Excellent clean up afterwards. I would definitely reuse them again."

"They came in and very efficiently removed old wall paper in two rooms. They had to skim coat in one of the rooms. But the results are very good!"

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.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

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.

Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.
