"We had Mike of Specsurf Painting paint a kitchen, bathroom/laundry room, the exterior of the house and stain a deck. He did a tremendous job. He is reliable, patient, a true professional. His ability to match paint to a 33 year old vinyl siding was perfect. We could not be more pleased. We would highly recommend his service and company."

Customers say: Quick response

"It is very rare that I take the time out of my day to actually sit down and write a review about one of the billions of businesses I have encountered in my life. However, every once in a great while when you come across a business that not only has satisfactorily completed the job they were hired to do, but they weâ re able to exceeded your expectations in numerous ways I feel compelled to do so. Honestly , I feel it is the very least I can do to show Uniques painting just how much I truly appreciated them. In addition to thanking thank them, and letting them know how great of a job they did, I also want to be able to help others who are currently in search of a reputable painting company. If you need a painter, I can guarantee you that you donâ t have to look any further. You donâ t have to read any more reviews, Uniqueâ s Painting Company is the way to go! They were on time every day, always very courteous and professional. They paid attention to detail, and the job was well done. I mean amazing customer service at a great price, how can you go wrong? Just to truly exemplify how happy I was when the job was completed, i want others to know I hired them for an additional two more painting jobs. I also referred my parents and two friends to Uniques painting. All three of my referrals provided very similar feedback and couldnâ t thank me enough for helping them. I know itâ s not always easy to pick a painting company from a some online customer reviews, and possibly a few photos. The majority of the time many of us are left disappointed and frustrated about a painting job we just paid for. So please take my advice, and make sure you hire them! Uniques painting I just want to say thank you again, and any future jobs I need done I know exactly where to go."

Painting FAQs, 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.

Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.
