"Wes and the crew at Straight Edge Painting Pros were outstanding. Wes quickly returned my calls, gave a very reasonable quote, and the crew did an outstanding job repairing damaged wood and staining the house. In addition we had new wood garage doors installed after the house was stained and the Straight Edge team came back right after installation to stain these doors as part of the original estimate. We are very satisfied and would strongly recommend Straight Edge Painting Pros to anyone looking for house painters."

Customers say: True professional

"Franklin and crew were very disciplined workers. We were looking for not only good workmanship but good craftsmanship and SCS provided both. Partial replacement of old, obsolete Masonite siding was done well to the house and shed. The exterior of the house and shed was washed and painted. The deck, tree house and swing were washed and refinished, The driveway and sidewalk were powerscrubbed. Walkaround on job completion pointed out minor discrepancies which were gladly and immediately corrected. Check written to honest and Godly Family Man."

"It was awesome to walk in and see a brand new space. The store had become dark and did not feel welcoming. After the painting it felt fresh, welcoming and like new. I can’t wait for our long term customers to see it. The guys that did the work were also very respectful of our store and contents to keep any paint from going astray. They are a great group of guys who do exceptional work."

"Ukie Painting went above and beyond on my exterior painting and brick limewashing! I am completing a full home renovation at the time of the painting, and my GC and builder team complimented the Ukie Painting team on their professionalism and workmanship. The crew cleaned up every day, was courteous to the team working inside the house, and spent ample time on the prep work to correct a former painter’s job and ensure a superior finished product. For the limewash, they steered me in the right direction on color and customized the application and mixture to achieve my desired finish. It’s difficult to find limewash vendors, so this is one of their offerings that I think differentiates them from competitors. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Ukie Painting. Everyone from Vitalii, Andrii, Cristian, and Carmen were fantastic to work with, and I look forward to the day when we can collaborate on another project together!"

Deck Staining 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.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

You may be wondering: can you paint cement? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.
