"Yes, AJ’s Quality Painting was everything we wanted. They came in and did the work. My brothers and I are very pleased. Once the quote was given and we agreed Afias and Josephina went straight to work. The paint job, ceiling and the wall he had to repair in one of the bedroom’s was beautifully done. They are very professional and kept constant communication with me about when they were going to the house and when they would be done. We did a walk through and our parents home is so bright and beautiful with the paint we chose. We had a family friend to come over and she really loved the color and work. She plans on using the color for her home during the Spring. I will most definitely recommend AJ’s Quality Painting to anyone who needs home services. Thank you both for the work done."

"Excellent Service and Quality from Dependable Painting. We have a large vertical wood sided contemporary house. This is the best crew that has ever painted our house. They truly do treat our house like they would want their house painted. I watched Carlos paint and he very carefully paints the intricate trim in our house. And we have never hired a painter that did not leave a drop of paint on the floor or ground. The found some damage on our house and fixed the damage for far less than a handyman quoted us. Honestly, they know what they are doing. February is usually not our rainy season but they worked around the cold, wind and rain. I highly recommend Dependable Painting and Improvements and I would hire them again and again."

"Sam was attentive and probably the hardest working young man I have seen. His work ethic was there he was reasonably priced and finished painting my privacy fence in just a few days! He was more than we had hoped to find. Great job!"

"Dennis and his team did a great job with our popcorn ceiling removal and ceiling painting and wall painting. They were hard workers, and Dennis made sure we were pleased with their work. He went over and above to make sure some detail work was done well. I really appreciated their work ethic and thoroughness."

Painting questions, answered by experts

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.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

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.

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.
