"Dan with Jimdandi Painting was very knowledgeable and does Grade A+++ work. My garage floor was absolutely a mess with oil and all kinds of different stains. He was able to clean the floor and make repairs. The finish turned out great. It looks like a showroom floor now.
After he did my garage floor I knew I wanted him to do work inside my house. He helped me with color combos to get the effect I was looking for.  This room I spend the most time in watching games and I couldn't have asked for a better turn out. This room had some drywall repairs that were needed and a lot of sanding. He was very professional in making sure to keep the dust level down.
He also did my three bed rooms and the closet in my master bedroom. The master bedroom closet was left with a lot of unfinished wood and had a funny smell. He was able to get rid of the smell and give a nice finish to the closet. The last room I had painted was my living room. I had two colors picked out that I hadn't decided on in which he suggested an accent wall.
 All my rooms turned out perfect. He was professional and all work was done in a timely manner. I would suggest using Jimdandi painting. I will be looking to get the outside of my house done in the spring time."

"They showed up on time, did an amazing job. They also power washed, stained and seal coated my deck and floor of my gazebo. They cleaned up thoroughly at the end of everyday! Danny and his brother and helper honored the estimate they gave us last year... they also warranty their work and gave us a copy. I would highly recommend them to others and cannot say enough good things about them."

"The bedrooms were problematic because the tapes connecting the walls and ceilings were pulling away. These were corrected perfectly. A crack in a ceiling was fixed perfectly. Two coats of Sherwin-Williams were applied carefully without staining carpets or windows.
The outside of the house was power-washed the evening before painting. The next morning, 8 painters showed up and began caulking and scraping. Rotting boards were replaced. Wrought iron around windows, doors, and lights was scraped down to bare metal. Two coats of Sherwin-Williams were applied to the house and glossy black paint to the wrought iron. The work was carefully done, completed in one day, and the workers cleaned up nicely upon completion."

"We have been homeowners for 40 years and this was probably the best service we have received as homeowners. Their work involved prep and painting on a three story house. They also worked on three different deck areas. They completed all of the items in the contract and also replaced some rotted wood at the top of our house which was discovered by the workers on the roof. We had some questions during the six day process and they were addressed immediately by the owner of the business. Their work on our house was outstanding. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend C & Z Painting."

"Rodney did an excellent job.  He came out and gave me an estimate and we set a date for the work to be completed by.  We had to postpone the painting by one day due to rainy weather.  Rodney was right on time on the day of painting and he worked very efficiently.  He was courteous and friendly.  The finished product looks fabulous!  I will definitely call him again for any other painting needs that come up.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

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.

Yes, staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan, typically by five to 10 years. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it can still fall victim to moisture, sun exposure, and rot over time. Applying a treatment creates a protective shield that helps prevent splintering, fading, and decay, preserving the wood's strength and appearance. A combination stain and sealer often provides the best protection, as it soaks into the wood grain rather than just sitting on top. This offers superior defense against UV damage and rot and lasts longer than a sealer alone. To maintain the wood's natural look, consider using a near-translucent stain. You should plan to reapply the stain or sealer every two to three years.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.
