"We are extremely satisfied with Villafana’s work! We hired him for multiple jobs which included: drywall repair, drywall touch-up and multi-room painting. With the service he included clean-up. First I must recognize him for the integrity he has in all he does. He is very detail focused and works with the highest quality of standards. There are things he pointed out as needing attention, that I had not even noticed! He is clear on the project plan and gives a step by step break down of the daily plan. The finished project was amazing! He is very professional, considerate and kind. The most trustworthy man in this business, in my opinion:) I highly recommend his work for any projects you may have in mind!"

"Scott did an excellent job painting and repairing the walls in my 1890's Victorian home. He was on time, clean, pleasant, and worked every day. He was careful to tell me ahead of time what he could or could not do. As you may know, old homes such as these require special attention. The original baseboards, chair rails, and multi-layered moldings were caulked in every small seam before painting: They look brand new. Some baseboards that were warped and pulling away from the wall were removed from the lath-&-plaster, the wall scraped and sanded, reattached, allowing for a neat seam along the wall and paint interface. Dental trim was painted such that the right amount of shadow emphasized the detail. He repaired a very bad wall overlying a chimney by placing a 1/8" plasterboard over it. He hand scraped some oak-paneled doors and refinished them. The one door that could not be done perfectly he warned me about ahead of time. He has a very good eye for color. He repaired 2 fairly long cracks in the plaster lathe walls by removing the larger area of unattached lathe, screwing the remaining wall down, and patching with wallboard. He did NOT just scrape out the crack and refill it with sparkle, as most other would have done. He did the right job so it won't happen again. He cleaned up every day and was done a week ahead of schedule."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You should seal your deck every one to two years, but you’ll also need to clean and repair your wood deck throughout the seasons. You may want to hire a local house cleaning service to sweep and clean the deck thoroughly. These cleaning services cost around $50 per hour.

Inspect your deck at least once a year, and if you notice any damage or rot, expect to spend about $10 to $50 for simple DIY fixes or about $2,000 for professional repairs on more extensive damage.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Staining a deck with a rag is typically a better option than using a brush, as it helps the stain penetrate deeper into the wood. However, both brushes and rags are best reserved for detailed work because using these tools on an entire deck can require tediously crawling around on your hands and knees. A pad applicator, sprayer, or roller are preferred alternatives to applying stain over the majority of a deck. Use a rag for railings and other detailed work, and let the wood soak up as much of the stain as possible before wiping away drips or pools.

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.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat.
