"Dylan did an excellent job painting our covered back porch! He was friendly, professional, and reasonably priced, and the quality of his work exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t be happier with the results. We highly recommend Dylan for any painting or power washing projects. Thanks again, Dylan!"

We have hired him for multiple home projects including staining our fence, deck stain, painting both inside and out, and even replacing pavers and he did a fantastic job on everything! Great communication. Extremely conscientious. Fred will treat your home like he would his own and really cares about customer satisfaction."

"I have hired them twice already, and I have referred them to others who have hired them already and this is the only company I will call from now on. They are great at power washing, outside and interior painting, masonry paint, priming. Their work was just amazing, all at a fair price. They even do great after-work clean up, they work well with you and even handle weather conditions. Just a great group of people to work with! I highly recommend them!"

"Words cannot express how happy I am that I found Matt to help me paint my new home! Not only did he finish the job of painting three rooms ceilings, trim, and walls in less than two days, he quoted me an extremely fair price and he did an amazing job. Matt took pride in his work, wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and that I was one hundred percent satisfied with the job. I have now found my handy man for life! If you need any work done in your home (because he does a lot more than paint) I highly recommend him. Thank you so much Matt for everything!"

"JNM Home Improvement did an excellent job on my deck repair. They took the time to explain everything clearly, showed up earlier than quoted, and did exactly what they said they would do. The quality of the work gave me confidence in the structure of my deck again. Very happy with the service and would highly recommend them."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

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.

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.

Yes, you can paint galvanized chain link, but the process is a bit more difficult as it requires additional prep work. Before applying the primer and paint, you must remove the original coating from the metal, which can be time-consuming. If the original coating is not removed, the primer and paint will not bond properly and cause peeling over time.
