"We interviewed Jerey Anderson in our existing home regarding a large Trex deck that needed to be replaced at our newly purchased home. Since my wife and I were moving from a three level home to a single level home due to our handicapped needs from disability, we were very concerned about using a skilled, knowledgeable and professional contractor who would listen to our needs and concerns with modifying this project to meet our specific and customized needs. Large scale custom projects like this can be extremely scarey and worrisome to launch, especially when you have had projects in the past that have left us hanging high and dry with work that was not completed. But during the interview process, Jeremy spoke to us in a very knowledgeable manner that helped us dream with him, the exact modifications we requested. You get a read on professional people sometimes that could leave you unsure about if they would be a good fit for the dreams you plan for and need. His mannerisms, attentive listening skills and reassuring ability to explain how to complete the work in a way that took away our concerns, addressed all our questions and arrived at a very affordable price just gave us a feeling that his family run business felt like a loving father that you would go to for extremely wise and experienced advice for a very complex , scar.scarey y and concerning project. As the project unfolded, we were updated frequently with texts, consulted by phone, and sent photos of the progress. We were never unwelcome to show up at a moments notice to view the work, talk to the crew, or review the progress of out dream turning into a reality. Not only was the work being completed per his detailed contract that clearly explained the work to be done, but his attention to detail exceeded oue expectations. Even his crew worked in a very protective and respectful way that kept the work site safe, highly organized and unexpectedly clean. We would recommend Jeremy Anderson and his crew to anyone in a heartbeat. In fact, we give permission to Jeremy t to share photos of the completed work and to have you contact us regarding our experience through this process."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You don't need to seal your deck after painting it because most exterior paints are waterproof and weather-resistant. While stealing is not necessary, it can add an additional layer of protection.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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.

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.
