"Zach and his team painted the entire interior of my house and removed the pop corn ceiling! The work that was completed was fantastic and now my new home looks like a completely new place. I loved the promptness of Premium Painting and will definitely hire them again for future projects!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Rob and his team did an AMAZING job of painting the LR, DR, upstairs hall, 3 bedrooms, FR and Library in our house. They painted walls, ceilings, trim and doors. Rob provided a colorist to help me choose paint colors as I have had difficulty making good paint color choices in the past; she was extremely helpful and we absolutely LOVE the colors we chose! The lead painter was able to correct several texture issues on our bedroom ceiling as well as repair trim details so beautifully that you would never know repairs had been made. The workers were very thorough and professional; Rob was onsite every day to be sure we were satisfied with the work. He uses the highest quality products and he and his team are committed to excellence and complete customer satisfaction. We are so thrilled with the way this project turned out - the colors, the richness of the paint and the quality of the work far exceeded our expectations - we canâ t recommend Rob and his team highly enough!! If you are considering any type of painting project do yourself a favor and call Gormanâ s Fine Finishes - you wonâ t regret it!!"

"Overall good experience. Worked directly with the General Contractor, he was able to work around my schedule and ensure that all subs completed their work to our standard the first time! Upfront pricing, honest and provided flexibility in price. For example, I wanted to have my own painter. Additionally I purchased my own vanity and shower. He provided just a labor quote. Iâ ve already recommended to two friends!"

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.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint.
