"Bright Painting may have converted me to the benefits of hiring painters! They did my living/dining are, entry and ceilings including my kitchen ceiling. The ceilings had some peeling paint (due to calcimite paint underneath) and water stains. Bright Painting did an excellent job. The work looks so much better than what I can do! Plus, it was done start to finish in 2 days. I am very happy!"

"We were exceedingly pleased with Durable Remodeling from the day we signed the contract with Dean and throughout the entire project. Dean and his team were consistently accessible, punctual, and professional. The work performed by Rick and Ben was of the highest quality, and the deck construction and cedar shingle replacement was completed in a very reasonable time frame, four weeks. We are thoroughly enjoying relaxing on our new deck and would highly recommend Durable Remodeling."

"I hired Byron Wilmot of Delight Painting to refinish my deck. It had been left in very poor condition after being power-washed by another company, and I was discouraged. Byron assured me that he could have the deck looking great, which it is, now thanks to him. He gave me a very reasonable estimate and began work right away! I truly am impressed with his hard work and dedication to getting the job done right. I only wish I had hired Delight Painting sooner, as they also do interior jobs. My deck looks like new and the price was great!"

"Luis Souza came out quickly to provide a quotation. In spite of the fact that I missed several of his texts, he was able to get a 2 man crew out here on the following Saturday. They were courteous, professional, and completed painting the great room ceiling in less than 3 1/2 hours. That included moving/covering all the furniture and clean up afterwards. They used a premium paint that covered the stains completely with one coat. Most importantly, my wife loves the job they did and how the ceiling looks now."

"It went great. The owner immediately responded to my job inquiry and showed up the next day to assess my needs. I had concerns about 'paint overlap' on my new expensive windows but the painter was very precise and conscientious in his work. The color was matched perfectly. I will now hire them to repaint/stain my rear deck and for other projects in the future."

"Work went well. I feel it could have been better if I hadn't rushed the contractor to get it done. But overall, the yard looks good and the flowers are now blooming beautifully. Following his directions, the new grass has also sprouted up nicely. I've received several compliments from passers-by. I would hire this person again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

If you don’t treat a cedar fence, it will turn from reddish brown to gray over time. You can keep the cedar from graying and retain its attractive, deep red color by sealing your cedar fence with a stain that keeps the wood’s oils in and serves as a barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

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.
