"Ross and his team did a great job painting the exterior of my house. My son had his house painted by Emerald Pro Painting last year, so they came highly recommended. When I was having trouble picking colors, Ross was more than happy to do a color consultation. When they started the job, they were early, they washed and prepped the house, and covered and masked everything that was not being painted; the attention to detail was amazing. The job was done in one day. I love the house color, love the trim color. I would highly recommend them! Ross and his team at Emerald Pro Painting would be my go to choice for any other painting job that I would have."

"This is my second time using Superb Painting. The crew was phenomenal with good attitudes and very precise painting abilities. They were very concerned about the house. They inspected their work constantly and decided whether another coat was needed or not. Superb Painting stresses attention to detail and making the current job the most important thing they’re doing or have done. Superb Painting is my go-to painters in Omaha. Fantastic experience!"

"Asked CertaPro to paint our 30-year-old ceilings. They did a great job. They spent 3 days covering, taping and painting 3000+ sq feet of ceiling. The paint crew was superior, friendly, the work excellent, done professionally and on-time. After completion, the cleanup was complete and except for brilliant new ceilings, it was difficult to tell if they were ever here. A+, 5-Star work."

"Excellent customer service and very happy with the end result. Bonus points for removing the spray paint from my 80-year old neighborâ s house after a couple of teens vandalized several houses the night before."

"My experience with Tracy "Tray" Hollingsworth was tremendous. We hired Tray initially to do some backyard deck repairs and staining, and his quality of work and strong communications were so excellent that we hired him for some additional activities that centered on exterior painting and some handyman tasks. I look forward to working with Tray again - - he is the BEST!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

There are several ways to make a wooden fence more visually appealing and keep it that way for years to come.

  • Treat the fence with a wood sealant to protect it against the elements. It’s recommended to reseal a fence every two to three years, but if you live in a harsh climate, you may want to do it more frequently than that.

  • Restore the fence if it’s old, corroding, or fading. That includes cleaning it and making small repairs where needed.

  • Paint the fence in a color that you like, whether that’s a simple white or more vibrant option. Fences usually need to be repainted every one to three years.

  • Decorate the fence with planters, string lights, birdhouses, mirrors, shutters, and more.

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.
