"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’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

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.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

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.
