"K-Rod did a good job painting. When they stained my deck, they dripped stain on my plants and trampled some of them. This is an established garden and I don’t know if the plants will come back. They did not show any care or concern my property and did not even cover the plants before staining."

"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."

"I can't say enough about how great our experience with Target Painting was. They were professional, courteous and on time. They did an excellent job painting the exterior of our house with attention to detail. Once completed, they did a walk through around the house with us to make sure nothing was missed and that we were totally satisfied. They really cared about the work and made sure we were happy with the job. We would highly recommend Target for any painting projects. We will definitely use them again for any interior painting we may need done."

"Very prompt response after initial contact. Specialty painting was exactly what I needed and this small owner-operated business fit the bill completely. We had an initial visit where we met & he assessed what needed to be done. He has a terrific eye for color, and matched exactly what I had. Scheduling was very soon thereafter, with no delays. The repair of the damaged portions of my 30-year old faux surface is now complete and nobody could ever tell a repair has been done, it is so seamless. Very reasonable price, as well. We expect to be working with Renaissance Revival on another job in our house."

"Gracy's team did an excellent job! They were always courteous and professional. When leaving for the day everything was always cleaned up. In addition to the whole inside of the house being painted, I had them paint a built in cabinet. Which also came out amazing. Looks so much more updated now. I would not hesitate recommending them, because I know I would definitely hire them again."

Customers say: Quality work

"I recently had B & R Painting Home Improvement come to my home to paint the walls from my hallway into the kitchen, as well as the ceilings in my kitchen, bathroom, and hallway, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The owner, Ronaldo Renzo, came out with another painter and they both did an outstanding job. Their attention to detail was incredible – clean lines, smooth ceilings, and everything looks fresh and bright. They were professional, on time, respectful of my home, and left everything spotless when they were finished. From start to finish, communication was clear and easy, and the price was very fair for the quality of work. I’m thrilled with how everything came out and will definitely be using them again for future projects. Highly recommend B & R Painting Home Improvement and Ronaldo Renzo to anyone looking for top notch painting work!"

Painting FAQs, 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.

If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.

There’s no single paint that’s the most waterproof. Instead, there are several types of waterproof and water-resistant paints that suit different purposes. Epoxy paint, for instance, is commonly used to provide a waterproof coating to floors and decks. Masonry paint is an excellent choice for exterior walls. Meanwhile, there are waterproof acrylic paints that can be used for interior and exterior walls. It’s more about choosing the best type for what you’re painting instead of the most waterproof paint overall.

DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.

Painting or staining protects fences from environmental damage, enhances durability, and improves curb appeal with a fresh, customized look.
