"I have just retired from the military after 23 years and I'm used to calling-in a work order to have repairs made :) However, I moved back into a vacant home with my children which needed a lot of work. I was a little rushed as we were living in a hotel for 3 weeks and the hurricane caused many delays with electricity. I made my selection based on previous reviews. Here's a break down of pros/cons: Pros: - Very personable - Showed-up when scheduled - Kept me updated with progress/status - Loaned fans until air condition could be repaired - Gave a reference for plumbing repair (same day service) Cons: - Pricing: Not transparent, no breakdown of cost for materials /labor. Requested receipt weeks after work was completed/still vague. - Electrical/Roof repairs: fixes did not resolved issues - Floor Installation: gaps between walls in one room, can see sub-floor along wall/ in closet. Nicks throughout house on baseboards. One vent would not fit, had to make multiple request to get resolved. The floor needed trim due to gaps throughout the house from the carpet. Overall big improvement from old carpet. - Paint: Overall nice job, I had to remove paint chips in bathroom/kitchen and minor splatter on kitchen tile. I requested a quote for additional work I needed (new deck, repairs to doors & enclosed screened porch); while repairs were ongoing and never received an official quote. This was a great learning experience; I have gained more knowledge on what to discuss upfront. I'm looking forward to working with another contractor for remaining upgrades!"

"Jeremy was awesome! I came from out of town to do some upgrades on my parents bathroom and ran into some electrical issues. He was on time, came in and got right to business. Very professional and even went the extra mile to fix some minor safety issues. He worked until he was able to pinpoint issue which was so minor we all just laughed. Thank you, Jeremy!! Awesome job!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

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.

The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.

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.
