John DeAngelo was wonderful.  He explained exactly what they would do step by step and they did everything he said they would do.  They washed down everything and did not put bleached water on the brass adornments on the doors.  They also sanded the metal doors that were caused to rust by the previous painter.  Not only was the house beautifully painted but the shutters were painted as well (I'd decided to replace them but now there is no need.  The little fence and gate I'm planning to replace was also painted.  My house now looks wonderful and new.  I was told that they would use two coats of paint and at first I expected for something to be shoddy but to my surprise, nothing is.  I was guaranteed that the paint job would last at least 20 years and I believe them.  Without cost they even repainted my mailbox to match my house.  I was so pleased with the work I asked John if he knew anyone that did floors.  He said yes and when ready I will definitely consider his recommendation, and I would hire anyone he recommended.  The person that finished up the work was very friendly and since having extra time said for a little extra he would paint the deck, which he did.  He brought the receipt back for the cost of the paint and that surprised me. I was amazed that nothing was done under cover and he reported to John all that he did.

I would definitely hire them again...especially to paint the inside of my home.  Very good recommendation, Angie's List.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Essential tools include brushes or rollers, drop cloths, sandpaper or power sanders, and appropriate cleaning supplies. Quality materials ensure long-lasting results.

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.
