"David and his crew were absolutely amazing! Very personable, professional attitude, and an absolute pleasure to work with! We have a large 2-story 3,000 sq ft house and wanted to completely change the colors including trim and garage door. The level of attention to detail and pride in their work far exceeded anything we have ever seen! We highly, highly recommend FloPro and will hire them again for any future painting needs! Our house has been transformed and we couldn’t be happier!"

"They were very professional, did exactly what I ask. They replaced some drywall and where a mirror once was they blended the whole wall and you couldn’t even tell there was once a mirror in the wall. They also placed a tarp up so dust would not leave the area they were working in. I will use them again if I need anything painted or drywall replaced and painted."

"WOW these guys are GREAT!!! They showed up when promised and did an amazing job. I had an issue with an area that they painted. He said they used a new product from Sherwin Williams and would be out to look at the areas of concern. They showed up with the Sherwin Williams representative and agreed the product didn't perform as promised. Sherwin Williams compensated True Brothers and True Brothers not only fixed the issue - instead of painting the areas of concern, they used epoxy which is about double the cost and twice as much work. I am so pleased with these guys and would absolutely hire them again."

"Our old bathroom vanity was falling apart and we desperately needed something done before summer. Jonathan walked through everything upfront and his team handled the whole project smoothly. The vanity installation looks solid and the tile work around the tub area came out clean. They kept everything organized during the work days and finished right on schedule. What impressed me most was how they managed all the coordination between different parts of the job. The bathroom feels completely refreshed now and the craftsmanship shows in all the details. Much better than some of the other contractors we looked at initially. Excellent timing for family visits this spring."

"The estimator came out to my house and upon explaining what I needed (stucco repair) he proceeded to explain to me that it would be impossible to match the paint and that after completeing the stucco the whole house would need to be painted (complete upsell and not what I expected). The good news, and the reason I decided to do business with this Co is their pricing with the stucco repair and new paint came in around what others were charging for the Stucco repair alone. So I went with this company. On a positive note the paint job looks really good and when all was done the stucco plus paint were good enough to pass the insurance inspection (the purpose for the repair in the first place). I cannot give an A rating because the company didnt actually specialize what they initially told they did (stucco) they simply used it as a sales opportunity, moreover their own painters agreed with me about the crap stucco job they hired a subcontractor to complete"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

You should refinish your deck to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Refinishing your deck protects the wood from foot traffic and the elements. It also helps extend its life span by keeping rot, mildew, and termites at bay. By maintaining your deck, you can avoid the cost of replacing your deck sooner. A refinished deck also looks great and restores some of its original beauty.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

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.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.
