"Edwin (aka Cappy} was hired to paint and provide carpentry service for my 1885 family home in Friendship, Maine. The home has been in the family for generations and is very special to us. Cappy and his crew scraped, primed and painted the main house as well as provided carpentry as needed. His crew resheathed, shingled and stained 3 outbuilding and repaired thresholds and trim on the same. the house is on an island so the logistics were complicated. Cappys crew accomplished all of the work in less than two weeks and the results exceeded my expectations. I will hire them again when needed, you should too."

"I was doing a kitchen remodel and desperately wanted to paint my cabinets, wanted to diy, but ultimately lacked the time and space. I hired Jake and he was professional and prompt, and very respectful of my space as the whole project was a live in remodel. He's now my go to painter!"

"We hired Rein Green Painting to repair and paint the exterior of a seasonal cottage in addition to replacing and sealing the lattice work at the base of the house - they've been very pleasant to work with and quite responsive - jumping on the project and completing it quickly - and they've done a great job, I recommend."

Painting questions, answered by experts

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

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.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

Shadowbox fence maintenance depends on the material. But for wood shadowbox fences, maintenance typically includes annual cleaning to prevent mold growth, resealing or staining every two to three years, and promptly replacing any damaged or rotted boards. Vinyl fencing, on the other hand, typically only requires annual cleaning with a hose to maintain its appearance.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.
