"In April / May, 2026, we worked with Missi painting on my Mom's 215 year old Colonial house in Alstead, NH. They gave us a very reasonable estimate to scrape, paint and replace some rotted boards. The crew showed up when they said they would and did a great job, my Mom was super happy with their workmanship, and actually immediately hired them to do some more work on our barn. I live out of state and personally dealt with Fernando, he was super responsive, he sent me texts and emails with the schedule, estimates, work updates, pictures etc. and was on site while the work was being done. The next time we need some painting work done Missi will be the first company I call."

"I recently hired Antonelly Pro Painters, led by Alex, to paint my mother’s living room, dining room, bathroom, and kitchen. They handled the walls, trim, ceiling and doors with excellent craftsmanship and great attention to detail, especially for her 80-year-old home. Alex provided a clear estimate, a reliable schedule, and outstanding communication throughout the project. The refreshed rooms truly made my mother’s day. I highly recommend Antonelly Pro Painters for their professionalism, quality work, and excellent customer service."

"Excellent company to have any painting and all household repairs done by. They have been doing any and all work in my home for six years. Indoor and outdoor painting and repairs etc. They pay attention to all detail at all times and have excellent suggestions as to the best way to make the repairs. Honest and most reasonable pricing on every job. Efficient and honorable and very time conscious. You will not find another company, that will give you excellent man power and customer service. I have had work done by other companies and there is simply no competition out there to even compare them with. Efficiency and great work ethics has always been part of their priority. C&S paint is by far the best."

"A little higher priced, but best quality. Be sure to not mess up the schedule, if there is another contractor on site, the painters will leave the job if the other contractor is in their space, and you may not know it til late in the day."

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.

Many decking oils can help slow down algae growth, but they don't completely stop it. These oils work by sealing the wood, which reduces moisture and, therefore, algae growth. Some decking oils also help protect against UV damage, but they need to be reapplied according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the decking stays protected.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.

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.

Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn’t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning—and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty.
