"Steven painting did a wonderful job painting the exterior of our home and staining our decks. Steven and team members Betty and Jesus were friendly, had a high attention to detail and got the job done very quickly. We live in Cascade so finding a professional for home improvement projects can be very challenging. Steven Painting was a breath of fresh air. They will be our go-to for any future painting needs."

"I've used this company twice. Painted my house & stained my fence. Both times, once the job was finished, they asked it we would b willing to oay a little more because they didn't estimate they'd need as much paint/stain. They didn't demand more....just asked for understanding. They showed up on time & ready to work. A little language barrier, but very quick to make thongs right. Both jobs did require the owner to stay & do many hours of touch up...butnhe was cheerful & happy to do whatever was needed to make us happy! I do recommend them...just don't b shy to ask for touch ups! They did make marks in the wood of my new fence with their pressure washer in one section....that was a bummer as can't repair that. But over all, would use them again."
"Ben did an excellent job painting my cabinets that were melamine where other painters said was not possible. The cabinets look excellent! He communicated well and made sure to touch up a couple of spots the next week. He also helped install hardware which was greatly appreciated. I was unsure of which color to get and he helped me get exactly what I wanted. I would recommend this company to friends and family and would return for more work. A+"
"Just closed on a house and was pressed for time to get everything painted. I hired Spray On Painting to paint a bedroom, hallway/stair case area (ceiling, trim and walls), 6 doors and 3 closet doors. They did an outstanding job with attention to detail! Highly recommend!"
"This was a great experience. The team worked diligently to prep and properly prepare the old paint. I was impressed. The final result surpassed my expectations. I would highly recommend Lee and Son painting. Very good experience."
"I hired Witzy Painting for a small job preparing my condo to sell. Jose and Adriana did a great job! They were able to match an unusual paint color and correct a bad paint job I’d done previously. They were professional and efficient and I would definitely hire them again."
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.
An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.
Routine staining or sealing and periodic inspections to extend life.
Yes, many repair services include repainting to match the color of the existing siding or walls. Most professionals offer this service to ensure the repaired area blends in seamlessly.
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.
