"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."

"David figured out a challenging project on a cabinet so old that its hinges are no longer available. He was courteous, professional and punctual. I am grateful that his creative thinking and stick-to-itiveness resulted in a cabinet door that is working again! Thank you, David!!!"

"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."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there’s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.

An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

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.
