"Cornerstone did an excellent job with our deck which required a pressure wash and stain. At the start we requested a written quote and that was received within a day. Once the order was placed the administrative staff contacted me to coordinate the work which commenced within a very reasonable amount of time. This company is first rate, professional, prompt and courteous. The final project exceeded my expectation. I highly recommend Cornerstone Hydrowash and I most definitely will hire them again"

"We had a fabulous experience with Spiro's. Spiro and his son, Dionysios, came out to my at the scheduled time for a free estimate, went over my expectations and their suggestions in detail, and provided a quote. The price was little more than I originally hoped to pay for painting, but after going over all the work that would have to be done because of the space and different materials in the room (for example, prepping/sanding of shelves), it seemed fair. In fact, I don't think I would have gotten a much better price from anyone else who would have done the job right. They were able to come to my house less than a week after providing the quote, and showed up on time with a team of three (Spiro, Jose, and Leo). They got the whole job done in one day and it looks AMAZING. My basement, which previously looked like a half-finished dungeon, now looks light and airy, and like a cozy, finished space that we can use as a den/playroom. It's amazing what a really good paint job can do! They even got my bookshelves (which had been partially destroyed by the waterproofers who had to jackhammer through the floor underneath them) looking great again. They were such a nice team of guys and on top of that, Spiro insisted that we try some of his delicious homemade Greek lunch with us, which was delicious. My 1 year old twins gobbled up that phyllo dish so fast, they barely came up for air! I would absolutely hire this company again for painting. They were professional, warm and friendly, and extremely skilled. Thanks, guys!"

"We hired DCM Custom Painting to paint our 1800 sq ft condo in Mays Chapel Md prior to moving in. This was our second experience with this company. We could not be more pleased with the awesome finished job! The painter was highly skilled and took great care in his work. He was neat and well organized showing up on the job each morning on time and worked a full day until the job was finished. The cost was highly competitive and reasonable. We highly recommend DCM! You will not be disappointed."

"Outdoor Advantage did an amazing job with all three projects. They were punctual and professional, kept good open communication, advised us on all phases of the projects. The workmen were polite and accommodating. We had one issue with the stairs off the new deck which they promptly rectified. I would highly recommend Outdoor Advantage for any projects you might have similar to the ones they did for us."

"Job was bid as 2 days, prime bare wood, paint 2 coats enamel. Price seemed fair for that work. The good: workers on-time and pleasant, all surfaces were well sanded, final finish looks good. The uncertainties: no primer in sight. Asked painter and he said primer only used on new cabinets not repaint jobs. There was some pealing and bare wood exposed on cabinet doors. Enamel paint can says to prime bare wood before top coat. Job bid for 2 days and finished in 6 hours because they only allowed 30 minutes drying between enamel coats. Paint can says dry 4 hours between coats. Maybe will be OK because it was a warm dry day. Won't really know if job will stand up for a couple years. Based on 3 workers for 6 hours, allowing $100 for paint that works out to over $90 an hour. Even with overhead that seems excessive and I feel like I am overpaying for what actually occurred as opposed to what was bid."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I highly recommend Maryland Pro Wash. They power washed my whole house, deck, outside stairwell, driveway, and front steps. Everything is sparkling clean and looks brand new. The price was very reasonable. Tyler and John were true pros.... efficient, careful, on time, and very friendly."

Deck Staining questions, 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.

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.

Hot, intense sunshine can cause your stain to dry too quickly, which could lead it to look uneven or patchy. If you’re staining the deck during hotter months, it’s best to do it in the morning or evening once the wood has had time to cool down. If you’re staining in cooler weather with less sunshine, the time of day won’t make as much of a difference.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Routine cleaning, sealing/staining, and inspection prolong deck life and appearance.
