"David, explained what he will do prep, patch and paint my home. He listened to my wife's concerns about paint color and matched her paint perfectly. He is a true professional finished the job on time and on budget. The house looks great, and I would use Flopro Painting for my next project. Robert H. Port Charlotte, FL"

"We had a new construction house and Ted did the entire thing. Exterior, interior, staining doors, cabinets…EVERYTHING! They did a phenomenal job. Our ceilings are about 20 Ft up so it was not an easy task but we couldn’t have been happier with Ted and his crew. Would recommend them all day every day!"

"I recently hired Dr Home to paint my 2nd floor, remove all the carpet and install hybrid laminate flooring including the stairs. I highly recommend Dr Home!! We are very happy with the results. Miguel was responsive throughout the whole project. I got multiple quotes and his prices were by far the best. His crew was on time, friendly and respectful. The work was completed on time and we are very happy with the results. They were also able to accommodate extra items that we needed done while they were here. I would highly recommend Dr Home and will use them again for future projects."

"It was nice to be able to have my condo painted in half a day. I gave 50% deposit before the job and then paid after reviewing that everything was painted the way I want. They are very professional to cover everything. Price was good and included the Behr paint. I communicated with them mostly over text and email since I was out of the country while trying to coordinate the date of the job."

"I recently hired Fresh Coat Painters for an exterior paint job on my home, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, the team was professional, punctual, and detail-oriented. They helped me choose the right color and finish for Florida weather, and their prep work — including pressure washing, scraping, and caulking — was top-notch. The paint application was clean and even, with sharp lines and no mess left behind. My house looks brand new! I’ve already received compliments from neighbors. Highly recommend Fresh Coat Painters for anyone looking for reliable and high-quality exterior painting."

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.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

Staining pressure-treated wood is a recommended practice. While inherently resilient, it's not impervious to moisture and UV exposure. Staining treated wood is feasible and recommended for enhanced protection and longevity. Applying stain and sealant safeguards against degradation, prolonging its life span. These measures shield the wood from environmental threats while augmenting its aesthetic appeal, ensuring your investment endures the test of time.

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.

Yes, it is generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes not only dirt and debris but also a thin layer of wood, leaving the surface exposed and more susceptible to weathering. Sealing is almost always needed after this process. After a general cleaning, sealing isn't automatically necessary if the existing sealant is still intact. You can test the surface by placing a few drops of water on it. If the water beads up, the sealant is working. If it soaks into the wood, it's time to apply a new sealant. If it has been a few years, it's wise to remove the old sealant, wash the deck, and reseal for maximum protection.
