"Excellent Job! J&S Painting Plus Incorporated and his crew painted the exterior of our house. They did an amazing job! The business owner, office staff, and painters are professional, courteous, and friendly. The painters arrived every day at the same time and were very apologetic if the weather was not acceptable for them to paint on any given day. They also would keep us informed of the project status. We were very happy and satisfied with the service provided. We definitely will use them again. We highly recommend them for any painting job."

"My 1995 oak cabinets were painted white and the doors and drawer faces were replaced and then painted. They look beautiful! I also had a custom cabinet built along with a kitchen island. The craftsmanship is on point! My kitchen transformation looks amazing. I would definitely recommend Palette Pro!"

"Junior and his guys exceeded our expectations!  My husband and I could not be happier with their painting job of our bedroom.  We put off painting the bedroom because we thought that the price would be outrageous - it's a very large room with super high ceilings.  But we decided to shop around.  We had more than five painters come by to give us quotes.  When Junior showed up, we could tell that he was a pro but also easy going - how someone is when they are confident about their work.  We decided to go with him.  He confirmed the start date days in advance and showed up when he promised.  The work took exactly as long as he said it would.  It's not an easy room - height of ceilings, tons of white beams.  Not a speck of slate blue paint where it should not be and the room is as clean now as it was when they arrived.  They prepped the walls beautifully.  The painting around the white beams, ceiling and baseboards is perfect.  Did I say that we're super happy!  Thank you Junior and your team for being very reasonably priced, proficient, neat, courteous, and respectful.  I highly recommend All Painting Decoration Corp!  "

"I hired these folks for a challenging interior job that required repair of old plaster walls and painting over very old paint. Things went well and I was happy with the work as well as the cleanliness of the overall process. I would recommend to anyone looking."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Regular cleaning, rust-proof coatings, and checking fasteners help prolong the lifespan.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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.
