"Very pleased with their overall performance and timing of my patio. Only took 4 days from start to finish. Everyone was very friendly and worked hard making it all come together the way we wanted it to look. At the last minute I asked if they can also do landscaping around the perimeter of the patio and they did an amazing job. Everything looks beautiful and we can not wait to entertain this summer. Highly professional !!"

"We were pleased to have hired Richard. He is a go-getter and was very proactive, customer focused and engaged through the process. The up front engagement/sales process was professional and smoothly transacted. Richard responded to all our questions in person and in emails and with photos. He also made a recommendation for a deck repair person that we engaged and were pleased with. During execution we did have some re-work which is what drives the overall rating to be a 4. We had a "supervisor"/lead person here throughout the job being one of the two workers but it is also this supervisor's work both in painting and in wood/caulking repair that had to be re-done. Had I not been home to spot the painting issue where wood was painted that was supposed to be left bare and was clearly delineated by Richard to the worker and in photos, the re-work would have been much more of a challenge but was fixed with paint remover and not too much effort. The wood/caulking work was quite clearly not well done initially by the "supervisor" either and was therefore redone when we pointed out our dissatisfaction in a walk through. I didn't have faith in the "supervisor"/lead person. The second person worked tirelessly and was what I'd call the workhorse. One thing that might have been improved is to have had a clearly communicated final inspection plan and date as I was a bit unclear when was to be called done as we had several walk throughs. Having several walk throughs is a positive thing but it would have been better to have the final clearly planned and communicated. Overall we recommend and are repeat Certapro Customers having used them at another home we owned in another state which is what drove us to favor the Company this time around."

"I have no complaint with the quality of their work. However, as usual with a house built in 1895, the job grew as they worked! A simple gutter replacement turned into a complete Porch roof replacement. Considerably more expensive. I could see the water damage myself so I didnâ  t feel they were being dishonest. The job was completed quickly and efficiently. I am satisfied."

"Would hire Reflections Window and Gutter again in a heartbeat. Strong professionalism and I did not feel like I was getting taken advantage of like so often happens with contractors. They did a great job power washing the front of my house which had deep rain water and dirt stains. I really did not have high hopes that it would look much better afterward but it came out looking like it did when we bought the home. These guys did a great job."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

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.
