"Here’s an updated HomeAdvisor review that clearly reflects the full scope of work. Excellent Work and Professional Service Civil Lining Industries did an excellent job painting the room, installing molding, and completing several other handyman tasks in my home. The workmanship was high quality, with great attention to detail, and everything was completed professionally and efficiently. They were punctual, respectful of my space, and communicated well throughout the project. The finished room looks great, and I’m very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Civil Lining Industries for painting, molding, and general handyman work. If you’d like it shorter, more informal, or with a stronger emphasis on before/after transformation, I can adjust it quickly."

"They were very responsive to phone calls and messages, always gave me a comprehensive and professional estimate (unlike others who think it is sufficient to scrawl a number on the back of a business card), always showed up when they said they would, were flexible and easy to work with, gave good advice and took pride in their work."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Both a roller and a brush are effective methods for painting a chain link fence. A roller will make the job easier by ensuring symmetrical strokes and reaching the backside of the fence as well, which cuts down on paint time. However, a brush is often necessary for painting the base of the fence and near the posts due to its ease of reaching smaller spaces.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

If your cedar fence is new, don’t delay. Unlike treated pine, you don’t need to wait months for the wood to dry out for it to accept stain. With cedar, the sooner, the better. Seal cedar within two weeks of installation to prevent the sun from fading its red color.

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.
