"Recently bought a fixer-upper. Had no idea where to start with painting, our wood siding was damaged by the previous owner's overzealous use of a powerwasher, and the interior was a mess of holes. Paint Perfect was exactly who we needed for a whole house job. They advised the right shade of the color we wanted for our desired look. They advised the brand of paint cost versus quality. They were detailed in painting the trim in some areas of the home while leaving the trim unpainted in others. They covered everything and protected our floors and valuables. The team was overseen and coordinated by the owner, allowing me to focus on my life instead of the project. We got excellent results for a reasonable price and I felt informed the whole time. I could not recommend them highly enough."

"We had our interior painted by Fernandez Painting, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the project was handled with professionalism and care. The team was punctual, respectful of our home, and paid great attention to detail. The paint lines are clean, the coverage is flawless, and the final look completely refreshed our space. They took the time to answer our questions and made sure everything was done exactly as we wanted. The project was completed on schedule and the space was left spotless. We would absolutely recommend their interior painting services to anyone looking for high-quality work and excellent customer service."

"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."

"Erick and his team are awesome! I threw a few curveball at them with some unusual paint requests, but they handled it like total pros & did stellar work. Looking to get some more rooms painted in the next few months and will definitely be calling them again."

Painting 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.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

The process of painting or staining a fence typically takes between one and five days. The total duration depends on factors like the size of the fence, weather conditions, and necessary drying times. A significant portion of this time is for drying, as stain won't properly absorb into wet wood. You should wait 24 hours to stain a fence after washing it and allow 12 to 24 hours of drying time between each coat. The active work time is generally about one hour for every 10 to 20 linear feet of fencing.

If possible, it is beneficial to paint both sides of your fence to protect the fence more completely from the elements. Painting both sides of your fence will create a more consistent appearance as well. However, the time and cost involved in painting both sides of the fence may cause people to paint only the side they see.
