"Tim and his crew at Westwood
Services really helped us out of a tight spot when we bought our new home. We
bought our current house, and moving day was in two weeks. We thought that gave
us time to repaint the interior of our house as the colors were not to our
taste. We came in and repainted the master bedroom, when we realized that we would
not be able to do the rest before moving day. I had already contracted with
Westood Services to clean the carpets, and when I found out that they also do
interior paint, I called them to set up an appointment. Tim, the new owner, was
very friendly and professional.  He made
time to get to our house right away, and they repainted almost the entire
interior of our house in a little over three days! I know one of their painters
worked at least one twelve hour day to get the job done in time. The house
looks great, and give the time frame, they did a really good job. Given a
little more time, I'm sure all of the little things, like putting back the
outlet and vent covers would have been done. The paint just needed some extra
time to dry. I would recommend Westwood Services to anyone who needs carpet
cleaning, or interior painting done.

"The painting was to be completed in July but was delayed until August.  Unfortunately,  I had deck work scheduled for the week they started painting which caused confusion and further delay.  The workers were courteous and cleaned up after themselves.  From what I can determine they did a good job.  They did have to return to repaint the garage doors to match the siding  as the doors were painted the trim color.  I'm not quite sure the paint color matches the siding."

Painting questions, answered by experts

The best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

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.

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.
