"They painted a shipment container. First, they power washed the shipment container and they painted it for me, and they clean up after themselves. They show up on time, professional, orderly, did a thorough job, clean up after themselves and worked with me in an efficient manner."

"Honestly, I was skeptical about painting our oak cabinets. I was terrified they would look like a cheap DIY paint job with brush marks, or that my house would be covered in dust. ​Home Hue Heroes completely proved me wrong. ​Darlin and Jeremy didn't just 'paint' the kitchen; they set up a full containment system (like a bubble!) so not a speck of dust got into the rest of the house. They were meticulous—labeling every door, scrubbing everything down, and sanding it to perfection. ​The finish? It is literally flawless. It feels like smooth glass and looks like it came straight from the factory. You cannot see a single wood grain or brush stroke. They used a high-end Sherwin-Williams coating that wipes down easily. ​If you are on the fence, just do it. They showed up on time every day, finished exactly when they said they would (5 days!), and gave us a 2-year guarantee. Highly recommend!"

"The painters were friendly and easy to work with. They did a great job of painting the exterior trim and garage doors for several of the condos in our association. They were neat and careful and clean up afterwards was excellent. This is the second year we have used Service Pro Painting and we plan to use them again next year for additional units. Al Korhorn"

Customers say: Quick response

"Schippers Co- P.S- I wanted to add another remark about the Schippers Co- just to add our final, overall experience with Nick and his colleague, Larry. Awesome work, great cleanup and satisfaction guaranteed. Like any or all new painting-walls, ceiling, trim; etc, you may discover after your paint dries, there may be a touch up or another coat that needs application. We only had our kitchen that we were on the fence about as we thought one more coat was sufficient. That does not have anything to do with their professional standards, it has to do with how the paint coat drying! Schippers wanted to not only know, they wanted to make it right to our ease of mind and are so professional, they came back after a week and put their final touches on it. They came back smiling; and got to it. Quick, and easy is their mantra. Aside from the RFQ?s put out wouldnt you choose this company! Five Star- TAD"

"Our home looks brand new thanks to Brush & Roll! We were in desperate need of a new paint job on the exterior of our home and interior. The team arrived on time, worked diligently throughout the day, and stuck to the agreed-upon timeline. The crew spent significant time cleaning, sanding, and caulking before painting. Leaving an incredible outcome. I am very impressed and pleased with the job done!"

"Randy and his crew were superb to work with. They did a wonderful job painting the interior of my condo - all of the ceilings and walls, and paid attention to details. Everyone was professional and very easy to work with. I would not hesitate to contract with Durapro again or to refer them to others."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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.

A cedar fence will actually last quite a long time even if you don’t treat it with stain. In fact, you can expect to get between 15 and 30 years out of an untreated cedar fence. However, if you want to preserve its color and extend its life, treat it with a combination stain and sealer every three to five years.

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.
