"Sanders and Sons did an excellent job on our chimney repair. Tim was meticulous in his work and the finished product reflects that. Beyond that, his kindness and care while working in less than ideal conditions was stellar! Scaffolding had to be installed on decking and steps that our blind dog needed to use to get to the yard. Tim took extra time and used extra materials to make her a safe route out of the house. He is an absolutely lovely man to work with, and I recommend his company to anyone who needs masonry work."

"We learned of Hoosier Permanent Coatings through their advertising.  We liked the idea of not having to paint again for as long as we own the home and the warranty is transferrable.  
The  paint/stain colors of our house were custom modified several years ago.  Believing they would not have a similar color in the color palette to chose from, they indicated they could custom color from leftover paint and stain.  On the day of the painting I immediately noticed the siding paint was not the correct color.  Fortunately, I was home and stopped the work.  Management arrived and concurred the paint wasn't correct.  It took approximately 3 weeks to adjust the color because the paint is manufactured in the eastern part of the country.  Upon the second attempt, again, I immediately noticed the color still wasn't correct, however, it was improved.  Because colder temperatures were fast approaching, I decided to approve the color.   In retrospect, I should have looked at their standard colors first before deciding to go custom.
The company uses painting subcontractors and it's doubtful all of them are legal citizens, albeit, we didn't inquire in advance. 
Overall, we are quite satisfied with the paint and the application.  The painters could have been a little neater with the clean-up, I had to do a lot of the clean-up myself (caulking debris, masking tape, etc.).  The painting job itself, however, is very good.  An added benefit which Hoosier Coatings didn't mention, we believe the paint has an R factor.  This past winter our home maintained a 4 degree higher temperature without adjusting the thermostat. Their competitor advertises the R factor so that is how I discovered the reason.  All winter we kept wondering why our house was warmer.
We have received numerous compliments on how nice our house looks!

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

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.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.
