"This is the second time I’ve hired Proud Work Ethics in the past 6 months to do painting for me. The first project in the fall was the interior of our garage, and refinishing our deck. The work they performed was so outstanding, that it was easy to hire them back to paint our master bedroom. Professional, courteous, prompt, clean, honest, reasonable and hard working. What more could you ask for in a contractor? Would not hesitate to hire them again, or to recommend their services to anyone in need of a painter."

"Eric takes his time to insure that the prep work is done right. He is careful and very knowledgeable about his craft. He did our trim and shutters that had not been painted in 14 years as well as the old garage door. This required a lot of sanding, scraping and re puttying the windows and doors. They now look almost brand new especially the garage door. His prices are very competitive and much better than the big paint consolidating chains. We will have him back to refinish our kitchen cabinets. You can trust Eric to do a first class job."

"Excellent. This deck hadn't been cleaned in over ten years and had taken a real beating the past couple of years. It was edged in green moss(?) and had black blotches that appeared this winter. It looked to me like soot from somebody's fireplace. Special Construction worked for hours powerwashing, cleaning with detergent, scrubbing, and then powerwashing and rinsing. They wouldn't accept anything less than total quality, and they achieved it. It now looks like new! Terrific job."

"My husband and I hired Edy’s Quality Painting to paint the entire interior of our home. We chose them after reaching out to multiple companies because their pricing was reasonable and customer service impeccable. Rich, the person responsible for organizing Edy’s schedule was the first person to get back to us and the only person to explain in detail what we could expect if we hired them. Rich is also so personable; I felt like I was talking to an uncle every time I spoke to him. Once we hired them, it was evident that Edy is a true artist who takes pride in his work. Edy is also very considerate; he made a special trip back to paint our floor molding, as he knew we were getting our floors refinished. We were so happy with their service we hired Edy to come back and paint our stair railing. Even then, he made a special trip to finish the railing to ensure the weather permitted proper drying. We plan to hire them again in the near future to paint our deck and highly recommend them overall."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

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.

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.
