"He didn't end up painting because of his unresponsiveness. We were fine with his price and were interested in giving him our business. He seemed like a nice guy but I would have appreciated a follow up communication saying he was too busy or didn't want to do the job.

"I was so impressed with the work that was done by TrueCoats. Alex and his staff were very professional and thorough. I am getting the house ready to be put on the market. He repainted all of the interior doors and trim and ceilings. Also, painted the common rooms and it looks great! I highly recommend him if you need anything done. I am having him come back to stain the cedar arch in front of my house. Great job Alex!"

"I hired Nick after seeing his work on a neighboring property, and talking with the property owner. He has done a couple of jobs for us, and we will be using his services again. He is not the least expensive option for painting, but he is a thorough professional, and you get your money's worth. He is a meticulous worker, and communicates effectively about the work to be done, potential problems, and solutions. His approach is professional but friendly, and he is courteous, honest, and pleasant to work with."

"They were very professional in their approach to painting my 15 room house. They moved all my furniture to paint then returned it to its original location. They cleaned up the work zones each evening. They were friendly and listened to my suggestions and concerns. I highly recommend them for painting."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Overall costs depend on the fence height and length, prep work required, and labor if hiring professionals, ranging between $1 and $4 per square foot.

You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one.

If it rains after you paint your fence, you may need to apply another coat of paint after the fence thoroughly dries. This will ensure a good seal if the rain weakened any areas of the paint. However, if your paint had enough time to dry thoroughly before it rained, you should have no problem.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
