"JK did an excellent job and has done multiple painting projects for us - including our entire upstairs and our kitchen. We have an older home with oil based paint and they were able to prep the surfaces for strong paint adhesion."

"I hired JS Home Improvement to finish my basement. They quoted me a competitive price and showed up every day on time, and worked sometimes 12 hours a day. Each day I was told what they would work on, how long it would take, and what time they would arrive the following day. I always knew what was going on and not once did they ever leave me to go work on another job. They offered suggestions that I hadn't considered and quoted me the price for it. The price I paid was exactly what was I quoted. The details are incredible. The framing, the new wall, the ceiling, and the painting was all impeccably done. They cleaned up the extra supplies that were no longer needed every day, and did a thorough clean once the project was completed. Please do yourself a favor if you live in Wake County, call Jose. He's amazing, honest, has an incredible work ethic and is extremely knowledgable at what he does. I already have a new list of things for them to work on once time and budget permit. I'm so glad I chose JS Home Improvement over any other company who bid my project. The reason I am his first reviewer is because he has recently gone into business for himself, but he has 20 years of experience. I wish I could write another review, because I certainly would."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

You can use latex or acrylic paint outdoors. Although acrylic paint tends to last longer outside, it also costs more, so if you’re painting the outside of your house, for instance, latex paint is often a go-to option. However, acrylic will be your best choice if you want to spend some extra money for added durability.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

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.
