"Derrick arrived on time to assess the deck. He was very professional, personable, and accommodating. Our deck was in tough shape but he worked with us to stay within our budget and still not cut any corners. We were more than pleased with his work and being very punctual ."

"Anderson and his crew were very meticulous with great attention to detail. The exterior staining was a difficult project as my home had not been stained in many years and many shingles had to be replaced. His shingling crew did a fantastic job and the house looks awesome. Anderson checked on the work almost daily and he made sure that we were happy with the results. My husband and I would highly recommend Anderson and Sons Painting for any home project."

"These painters are excellent. They fit us into a tight schedule, did thorough careful work, cleaned up well, and noticed rotting wood on deck and expertly replaced it. They were very easy to work with, and we are very pleased with the job."

"Mike and his team are 95% complete on roofing, trim and siding, porch and deck rebuild, paint and carpentry at my 200 year old Cape house. So far, 5 stars for fast service and quality of work! The change has been transformational and even with some additions to the contract for hidden roof and beam rot the change orders have stayed within 10 percent of the estimate. I would definitely hire them again."

"We hired universal Painting for a number of projects at our house - power washing, exterior painting, replacement of rotted wood, deck staining, interior painting and some dry walling. They also installed new doors and did bathroom tile work as well as beautiful exterior stone work. Andre and his crew are professional, timely, meticulous and easy to deal with. Their work is fantastic. I highly recommend Universal Painting."

"Hired many painting and carpentry contractors over decades for exterior painting/deck and siding repair and deck staining and no one as performed better than Vinny and Giscelle. Why? Fair quote beating any competition on price and work detail and then in performance, executing daily on time as promised in the contract, communicating as needed on any new items arising. Excellent quality in carpentry repairs, painting prep and within the lines neat painting. Would recommend them to family and friends without hesitation. Pleasant professional people. M &D"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

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.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.
