"Most amazing paint job ever. Tux is amazing and thorough, we were unsure of the color picked, he helped us get it darkened, no extra cost. Fixed siding that needed to be fixed. I will only have Redo/Tux paint our house again."

"Went very smoothly- workers were very diligent in performing the work necessary for preparing and painting. Torey and Evan were on time every day and I can’t say enough about how satisfied I am with their work. Will hire them again in a minute. They went beyond what I expected. So thankful for painters like them!"

"Alic did an amazing job, he showed up every day that the weather cooperated in order to get the job done in a timely manner. The deck was unfinished wood prior to him coming and now it looks incredible! We would definitely hire him again for any other painting needs, interior or exterior!"

"Rodney at Mainecoast Painting was great to work with and kept us up to date throughout our project. They painted the ceilings and interior walls of a house where a smoker had lived and offered options to help remove the nicotine smell. They added some scents to the primer and also rented an ozone machine too and ran it in the evenings as they left. After doing all of that and painting the walls the nicotine smell has gone away!!! We completely recommend Mainecoast Painting for any of your painting projects!!! And if we ever need more painting we will definitely hire the crew again!!!"

"I hired Stuart's Painting for deck repair, re-staining, house painting, and ceiling repair. The work was done very quickly and professionally. The price was more than fair and they were reasonably within their initial estimate when the work was done. My deck and house look were looking in rough shape, and now it all looks great again. Highly recommend this company."

"Ben was very polite and came when scheduled and texted to confirm times. He did a fantastic job power washing my home, working nonstop til the job was finished. I would highly recommend him! Although I didn’t have him do painting, I’ll bet he is as proficient at that job as well!"

"I hired Don to paint the downstairs interior of my new house. I hired him the Sunday before Christmas and he worked right through the holiday week and finished the job on time. His prices were extremely competitive. He also was very clean. I had the flooring contractor coming in after him and he took great care not to splash paint on the floor. He did a great job painting walls, even caulked around the window frames where he felt a draft. My family is very excited to move into our new home. Now we can feel welcomed when we walk in everyday. I plan on hiring him to paint the trim as soon as the funds open up in my budget."

Painting 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.

You can paint an old wooden fence, but make sure first to do a deep clean (ideally with a pressure washer) and inspect the fence for any existing damage. Painting over dirt and debris will cause your paint to peel. Once you’ve cleaned and repaired any minor issues, use a primer and high-quality satin paint.

The best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.

Select based on wood type, climate tolerance, and personal preference for color and finish, with choices like oil-based stains for longevity.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.
