"They did a tremendous job, paid very close attention to every detail, worked efficiently and quickly but thoroughly, and cleaned up afterward totally. Our home is a 2200 sq ft log home in a rural area with several decks, and they cleaned then stained every millimeter perfectly. We could never have hoped for more."

"I couldn't be more pleased with Advanced Painting by Woody. Woody was quick to reply and easy to communicate with. The rate was very reasonable and the project was completed on schedule and was flawless. The site was left immaculate. I cannot recommend Advanced Painting by Woody enough."

"David & his team at Fresh Coat were simply amazing. From the 1st phone call to the last meeting they were professional, friendly, thorough and went above and beyond. We needed our deck repaired in a couple spots and painted. The quote was timely and fair. The work was professional and the team went above and beyond to make sure the furniture/lawn/lower deck were all protected during the job. The head painter has very high standards, asking to have further pressure washing done before he started the painting process. They also performed some extra work, not originally included in the quote. I would highly recommend Fresh Coat to any one!!!"

"we hired 5 Star Painting to apply stain to the exterior of our condo building and paint trim. They were courteous and very professional. The crew displayed an exceptional level of skill, professionalism and the ability to breakdown the project into manageable elements and finish the job in a seamless manner. We would hire them again."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

To make sure the paint won’t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that’s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won’t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.

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.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.
