"Daniel was on time for setting up the estimate. He has a very detailed estimate that looked professional. Although we change the date three time he stood by estimate. He was extremely courteous. S&G started on time the date we had scheduled. I highly recommend S&G for staining or painting."

"I don't usually leave reviews for companies, but I just had to for this experience. We hired Desert Winds Painting to paint the outside of our house in Farmington. We've had some really bad experiences with contractors in the past, so we ended up getting 5 bids (they were #5 out of 5) to have our house painted. I really wanted to make sure we were making the right choice. From the moment we requested a quote, I was impressed by the professionalism. During the estimate, it was clear that they are knowledgable in their field, and by the end of the estimate, it was obvious that they were the right choice. The owner, Chris, told me "We take customer service very seriously, and even though we're a small business, we really do our best to provide a big business service with the personal level of a small business". Everything they did from day 1 was a reflection of that. We have a home in Texas that will need painting at some point, and when the time comes, I hope Desert Winds will consider the travel to do it for us. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Thanks Desert Winds!"

"Jill did such a great job painting the exterior of my house that I immediately employed her to stain my deck, on which she did a wonderful job. Jill is always quite reasonable with her estimate of costs and she completes the project within that quote. Needless to say, I recommend her highly."

Painting questions, answered by experts

You should inspect the area regularly for rust, clean it with a wire brush, repaint it every few years, and apply a protective sealant to prevent corrosion.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

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.
