"Sean and his workers did an amazing job painting the interior of our house. He used premium quality paints, stuck to the initial estimate price, and was able to complete the entire job within the requested timeframe (with his crew often working long hours and weekends). This allowed us to move into our home on our scheduled move-in date. Sean and his crew were also extremely careful with our newly refinished hardwood floors, leaving them spotless afterward. We were so impressed with Sean's work and his honesty that we immediately rehired him to repair our roof even though we had gotten estimates from other contractors, some of whom may have been trying to rip us off (apparently not uncommon). After starting the roof work, once Sean realized that the repair was not going to cost as much as he initially estimated, he let us know and adjusted the final cost down accordingly. While repairing the roof, he also noted that our woodstove chimney was filled with creosote (highly flammable), which apparently hadn't been cleaned by the previous homeowners in years; Sean immediately took care of it that very day. We still have some minor repairs left in the house and will be hiring Sean to do them. Sean is now our go-to guy for any issue with our home that is beyond our level of expertise. He is really easy to get a hold of, responds immediately, and goes above and beyond."

"Hired Rick and His daughter to replace cedar shingles on back of our house, workshop and garage. They are 3/4ths done and the visual improvement is very good. They've also replaced some rot they found underneath what was there. I've been referring them to my other customers as well. And the price is reasonable. I will try to figure out hpw to upload photos at a later time."

"Did a great job. Built mailbox stand with an excellent custom flair. Built for strength. Texted and came right away. The message transition to know who was talking to me was confusing at first. DP was also not sure who it was initially."

"Zackery is very thorough a conscious. I very been actively involved in all areas of the building/ mortgage etc. for decades, so I have seen a lot of work by seasoned professionals. Frankly, I wouldn't hire the majority of them. We had no idea what we had ahead of us since the house had just been painted. It was awful. There was several layers of wallpaper under the bad paint. He had to rip it all off mud 9pand sand sheetrock, patch holes, sand woodwork...and always left everything neater and cleaner that he found it. He is a good guy...he was very thoughtful about my allergies and disabilities. I can't wait to post pictures once every thing is done."

"We are so pleased with the work that Dan and his son did for us. He does superb work at a fair price. He communicates very well and is great to work with. He is also wonderfully reliable. We signed him up for several other big projects in the Spring. Best painter we have had, and we have had a lot of them."

"Andy did an excellent job of cleaning 20 years of bottom paint off the bottom of my 21 foot fiberglass boat. Paint was removed to the boot stripe and there was no damage to the glass. The work was completed in my yard which was left clean with no residue. Great job"

Painting questions, answered by experts

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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.
