"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"My crew from NSP was amazing. Professional, courteous, kind and on point to get the task done. Large 2 story colonial with addition and ovs garage. I believe it took total of 5 days because of early weather in October 22. No paint chips on ground, very conscious of my shrubs and gardens, you would not even know they were painting. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this outstanding company and would not hesitate to have them paint my home again. The price was very fair, the warranty good but most of all they always stayed in touch to let me know what was going to happen etc. My team, Frank, Benjamin and Valerio were amazing. Peter the owner and coordinator did a great job. Thank you again. My neighbors stopped to tell me how great my home looks and asked for the name of the painters for them in springtime. Thats says much about Northshore Painting. Great job, great professionalism, great job. VCM Billerica Ma"

"I am very happy with the quality of the paint job that Silas Silva of KLS Painting company performed. He proved to be an excellent choice among 5 other pros who sent the quotes. He was hired for painting exterior of my house and fences. I was especially impressed with how he and his crew meticulously scrapping, sanding &oil primer of all of the imperfection of the existing shingles, replacing and repairing any areas need to be done before the paint job and the result was like I got a brand new house. My house can be considered big enough and aged so the work was very time consuming and thanks to KLS painting professionals. I strongly recommend KLS painting to anyone who needs quality & afforable painting job."

"This company repainted two warehouse units I own and did a great job. I have done some internal house painting myself so I can appreciate the fine job- good straight lines between paint of different colors on wall and ceiling, even quality paint coverage, just generally first rate. Would recommend."

"They are hard working and clean up everything. The crew were excellent and very polite. I would recommend Star Painting for anyone who is considering painting their house. They even did needed carpentry. Our home has never looked so good on the outside since we bought it in 2008. Thank you Eddie and the Star Painting Crew!!!!!!"

"This is an easy review to write. I give Chris and his crew 5 stars for sure! Chris has an incredible eye for details and doing things well. Chris gave us suggestions about color combinations and our home looks straight out of a fancy magazine. Our home looks beautiful! We were in a unique situation and needed quality work done quickly. Chris and his crew did not disappoint. The crew even worked through the weekend to reach our deadline. Chris and his crew were always on time and worked painting the inside of our house on rain days. The crew was always friendly, respectful, courteous and fun to be around. I always looked forward to seeing them and was sad to see them go. Chris worked on our home as if it was his own. As long as Chris is in business we will not use another painter. We are very grateful and thank Chris and his crew for a job well done!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Staining a wood fence isn’t guaranteed to prevent warping, but it can help. Plus, it’s a beginner-friendly DIY project that you can finish in a few days. If you want to try it, you’ll start by stripping it of any old stain or paint, then sanding it. After that, you’ll clean it and spot-treat any mold or mildew. When it’s dry, you can apply the stain.

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

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.
