"Communication about the project before beginning the job, with Paul Adkins  was good...I viewed other houses they painted and liked their work.
Paul Adkins and his crew of Bruno and Joe accomplished the prep work they promised, scraped, sanded and primed, used the quality Benjamin Moore primer and paint we selected,caulked all the windows, replaced numerous old damaged shingles, turned over the front deck boards, repaired, sanded them, repaired broken down stair railings, and also replaced damaged  rear deck boards, replaced 3 window sills, and screwed back the leaking aluminum gutter, sealing it with silicone. Accomplishing these carpentry projects made a huge difference.
Paul and his crew delivered more than we expected, and we were delighted when they finished the job by washing all the exterior storm windows and doors.
It now looks like a new house. They lived up to their stated mission of "Meticulous Prep Work, and Fine Finish Painting."

"Gene Came out of July 15th to give us a quote on initially repairing our rear deck, After a detailed quote we decided to hire Target because of the upfront estimate was very well detailed and we did not want to have additional costs/change orders because we were working on a budget.
The job was completed in a timely manner, the building inspector actually completed the carpenters on their work on the inspection, I was really surprised to see that, (we had previous contractors fail other building inspections due to poor craftsmanship).
They also painted our house and stained our decks/porches. Very nice and clean crew, Fabiano was the crew leader and he was here everyday, I felt good having a point of contact.
I would definitely hire them again."

"I highly recommend Kennedy Painting! Brain (the owner) was very personable and provided excellent customer service. When we walked around my house to going over what work needed to be done, he asked a lot questions and gave me some advice about different projects around the house. He also provided more than one estimate, so that we have different options to which we could choose from. Brian’s crew worked efficiently and did an excellent job with our exterior trim and deck. They scraped, sanded, primed and painted the trim of our house and sanded and painted our deck, not only to make it look better, but to preserve it for years to come. Thank you Kennedy Painting!"

"Today the Quality Preferred Painting crew finished another job on our house. This is the 4th time we've hired them. They repainted our finished basement ceiling after we had a mold issue fixed, then sealed and repainted the inside of an exterior-facing concrete wall that had some paint damage from moisture transfer, re-painted our front door, and then prepped and re-painted the exterior trim of our house around where we had a huge bay window installed. As always they did a terrific job, were always on time (early, actually) and meticulous in detail. Hire Steve and his crew -- they will do a fantastic job for you."

Small jobs welcome

"The house was built in 1950 and I bought it less than a year ago. I don't think the exterior had been stained in over 20 years because the prep work took most of the old stain off down to the natural cedar shakes. Al and his team did a fantastic job not just prepping the house which was a big ordeal, but also replacing any cedar shakes and wood trim pieces that had rotted over the years. The attention to detail was greater than I expected and he was very flexible with my requests. Thank you Al!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.
