"Project was exterior paint and minor carpentry of medium sized home and stain and paint of a large deck. Project completed on time (only 1 rain delay) and team was very professional (clean, quiet, courteous, on time). Fernando was a good communicator as the project was underway, and let me know about major hurdles, but handled the minor stuff himself. The finished product looks fantastic."

"Crew knew exactly what to do, cleaned up well, and used appropriate care and safety. Brian oversaw operation and interacted with home owner. Material shortages delayed start time a couple of weeks, but all worked out in the end. Not the least expensive option, but appears to be a quality project."

"Christopher and the crew at Pristine Painting did an excellent job on our project. We had 3 big classrooms (walls and trim) painted, and we are so pleased with the results. Christopher was a responsive communicator, the painting crew were pleasant and hardworking, and the result was transformative. On top of great service, the price was very affordable for us AND they worked fast. Very happy from start to finish."

"All proceeded very smoothly. Good communication with Pete. Superb attention to detail including a few things that were not in the quote... Pete simply noticed a few necessary repairs around my house and he took care of these things for me. It would have been very difficult to find a contractor for these small repairs but it's great to have things in good shape now thanks to Pete! Great crew, cheerful, thoughtful, highly skilled. Beautiful porch in front of my house, replacing ugly concrete steps. A very nice job. Beautiful re-designed steps in the house for safety. Excellent job installing the new windows. A+ job. This was a big job but Pete made it go very smoothly and I am very happy with the results. I paid a fair price and Pete was open and honest at every stage."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.

You have a couple of options when choosing a durable pool deck coating. Epoxy is common and offers excellent stain and water resistance. Epoxy also withstands high temperatures and UV lighting, making it ideal for sunny spots. You can also add a coating to cement, which significantly lowers the temperature of the concrete, is environmentally safe, and makes cleanup a breeze.

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.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.
