"Tux previously painted the exterior of another property we own. We had bought the new property and it was in need of a major paint job - basically the entire interior. The current paint colors were all very dark and there was significant detail work to be done with things like board and batten, built ins and, pine beams and v-groove. This was a home my wife and I decided we were going to get exactly right. As before, Tux did a detailed walkthrough, provided a thorough estimate and followed through with the exceptional work we've come to expect from him. High quality paint, craftmanship and a do it until it's right attitude produces a great product."

Customers say: Quick response

"John was great to work with to have my front exterior and storm doors replaced. He responded quickly when I reached out for an estimate and he was able to meet me within a couple days to review the project. He made it easy to shop for the necessary materials so I could pick out the doors and get other supplies in one trip. The project was completed in a timely manner despite the rain and an issue with one of the materials (bad/old product from hardware store) I had picked up. John was very courteous and professional throughout the whole process. In the end, he did a quality install and cleaned up the work site. I'm very happy with the results."

I have worked in the trades for almost 40 years and am currently renovating my 3rd 100 year old home in the greater Portland area.\nAfter that many homes and countless other projects over the years, i have become proficient and confident in almost every aspect of home building, renovating, and remodeling.\nBig or small, my attention to detail and ability to communicate clearly with my clients has allowed me to keep a steady workload based almost entirely on repeat calls.\nThat said, i am always excited to meet new challenges, learn new skills, and add more happy customers to my base.

"My husband and I can't sing the praises enough of Jason and his
sidekick, Blake. We had a tremendous job for them, painting our entire
home's interior plus a three-car garage, in preparation for putting it
on the market. We're talking thousands of square feet of wall and trim
space!  We didn't know what colors to use that would be best for a house on the market, and Jason came up with great suggestions. The guys started painting halfway through August and worked on weekends and
even Labor Day until the job was finished. They completed on time, as
promised, and the work was extraordinarily neat and concise. We definitely got our hard-earned money's worth. During the
first week or two, we were still living in the home. It was fun having
them around as both guys were always cheerful and professional. If we were a B&B, they would have been very welcome guests - as long as they painted their rooms before they left!
They often checked in to make sure we were happy with the work, and to make sure they hadn't misses anything. We believe their superlative paint job is one of the reasons why our house went under contract in just two short weeks, full asking price!  Although we are in a much smaller home now, we look forward to having JGPainting come help us with a couple miniature projects this winter. A million thank-yous to Jason and Blake!

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

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.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
