"This is a local family business. Three generations of the family showed up at our house to work. They were on time, friendly and very professional. We got an estimate from Brad. Benjamin and his team showed up on time and did all the work in one day! Benjamin's grandfather who is a carpenter came out to replace wood for two of the windows. It was great because we didn't have to contact another contractor. Brad stopped in occasionally to make sure things were running smoothly. The guys were very careful not to trample my plants around the house and they cleaned up as they worked. They left our yard immaculate when they left. They did a superb job painting the windows and staining the airing deck railing. The house looks so much better and we have peace of mind that everything was done the right way. On a personal note, we love the fact that they are a local Christian based, family business. We had to leave the house a few times during the day and we had peace of mind that we could trust them when we were gone. They all were so sweet and kind. Even our dogs adored them. We highly recommend Liedel Power Cleaning and Painting. We will contact them next year to have our garage painted. We couldn't be happier!"

"My cedar deck was in need of repair. There were several boards that were cracking and rotting. In addition, the handrail and steps leading from my backyard up to the deck were loose and rotting. I also needed power washing and re-staining. From the initial meeting through the final inspection, the process went very smoothly. Their pricing was reasonable. Most importantly, they started and completed the job on time and the quality of the work was excellent. I would highly recommend Woodbrook Painting!"

"Valentino provided an extremely professional and quality service for our home. He seemed to know exactly what we were looking for when we discussed colors. He has a keen eye especially for colors. He even pointed out a few areas of needed repair as he was completing the painting job. We like his work so much that we will have him quote our interior painting this fall. Highly recommend General Painting and Repair!!!"

"Starting delayed twice. Caused us to delay vacation once. Left within half hour of them being finished. Did not get to really examine the job till two weeks later. However prep was excellent. Paul did a marvwlous job of painting. Was a bit rushed on the last day due to weather. Only found one drip on the deck, no big deal. Quite satisfied with job, but should have planned for it earlier in the summer, rather rhan the fall."

"JAR Painting did an amazing job making sure the paint on the old portion of the house was an exact match to the new siding ? so important when spending a lot of money on an addition to your existing home to have a reliable company put the finishing touches on the existing portion .... It's as important as the new construction. They took pride in their work taping off doors and windows ...and clean up was immaculate! JAR PAINTING WILL BE OUR GO TO !"

"Kodra Painting LLC is prompt, efficient, and clear. I would recommend for any internal, external, or staining projects you may have. They use quality paint and materials, and include patching and repair, but they do a very good job on everything. It's not like they do "OK" patching/repair and great paint. They do all of it, and they do it all well."

"Would definitely work with Alex and team again. Very personable and respectful of property. Great attention to detail. Deck prep and staining is tricky because of the need to work around weather; Alex was able to schedule the job to minimize the inconvenience to us. So glad to have found them!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

A concrete overlay is often the most cost-effective way to resurface a pool deck. To do this, you’ll need to pour a thin layer of concrete over the existing pool deck, which you can customize by stamping or painting. A stamped concrete overlay provides additional traction on a pool deck that can help minimize the risk of people slipping and falling.

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.

Staining a deck is typically less expensive upfront than painting. The cost to stain a deck professionally averages around $850, with most homeowners paying between $550 and $1,250, depending on the deck's size. A DIY staining project can cost less than $100. The cost to paint a deck ranges from $500 to $2,000. While the initial cost of staining is lower, it's important to consider long-term expenses. Paint can last up to 10 years, whereas stain needs to be reapplied every few years, which could lead to higher costs over time.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

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.
