"I usually have my landscaper, brother or some other random person power wash my deck, rails and pavers. I decided to step it up a notch by hiring a professional. Mel was AWESOME. Contact was swift, bid was fair, scheduling was easy. Most importantly, I cannot believe how much better he did than an “average” person with a power washer. Everything looks brand new. Honestly, I’m shocked. I own several homes and I’m very picky about my contractors. I recommend MEL whole-heartedly. Plus, I love hiring an independent contractor. Good for him for making a business successful. Don’t look any further; Mel is your guy."

"After watching Cowboy Painting meticulously update the exterior of a home across the street we hired them to paint the exterior of our home to include two large decks. From the first meeting, Sam and Calla were committed to answering our questions, helping us choose the PERFECT color for both the home and decks, and the utmost care and respect for our property. Both Sam and Calla were onsite every day and allowed enough time for set up and clean up while still putting at least 8-10 hours of painting. The covered the appropriate surfaces of the home and gardens/grounds to protect them and cleaned up the property EVERY day prior to leaving. Sam and Calla were pet/kid friendly and working around a brand new puppy who needed to go out frequently and young kids who asked many questions. They use the highest quality Sherwin Williams products to ensure that their craftsmanship lasts. If you are looking for an honest, owner-operated, HARD-WORKING company to paint your home, choose Cowboy Painting!! They will work to ensure you LOVE what they have done to transform your home."

"I have used Water Oak LLC as my handy man and renovation contractor during the past 5 years. They have completed major restoration/renovations to interior rooms, have done some roofing/gutter/drainspout work, and have painted both interior and exterior areas. All work has been excellent and accomplished at what I feel was a fair price."

"I've had several companies come and give me quotes for the replacement of my roof. So when Chris (sales person) came (last quote) and went over everything from how to what and even had samples of all the materials, I was thinking, oh man this is going cost a lot, but it didn't. It was a lot less than what I was thinking. The project manager, Eric was great! Although, some nails and a little debris was left, the workers did a great job. I was not able to see the roof until the next morning and when I did, it was beautiful. Thank you Chris and Xpress Exterior Design!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

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.

Deck staining or painting safeguards wood against the elements through its protective layer, enhancing decay resistance, prolonging structural integrity, and improving visual appeal.
