"The owner Eric was great and always kept me up-to-date on the project timeline (I was painting my deck and obviously it was dependent on weather). He was very professional, and his two painters Edgar and Diego were wonderful. They were very thorough and the deck looks like new! Thank you Red, White and Blue painting!!"

"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."

"We would highly recommend R Jones Painting to anyone. They painted all of our houses in November 2022. They did a fabulous job and were very friendly, and professional. They provided us with a complimentary color consultation with a color expert who helped us pick paint for all of the rooms. The consultant was great, professional, knowledgeable, and also very friendly. Apart from being very thorough painting, they did extra things that they did not charge us for they fixed a tube that was loose on the washing machine when they painted the laundry room, they fixed a loose railing, and a French door that was scraping the floor in one of the rooms. They also painted our front door at no additional cost. We have three young children who managed to get the walls dirty after they were already painted while the Hugos team was still there. They fixed all of them at no extra cost. Our son had Pokemon stickers all over the walls in his room. It was a lot to take down so we told them not to worry about trying to save them, and that they could just take them down and throw them away. After they were done with his room we noticed that they removed all the stickers, and placed them neatly on our sons bed frame. They helped us move the furniture and made sure nothing got damaged in the process. Apart from painting all the rooms they also painted built-ins in the living room and they turned out beautifully. They came early every morning and worked hard all day. Hugo was at the site every day supervising and working with the crew. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He provided us with valuable advice, for example on how the ceiling in the foyer should be painted. He was always eager to address any questions and concerns and always asked for our opinion. He also told us how to store the leftover paint to prolong its life. They completed the work on time, within the time frame they provided us before they started, without sacrificing the quality of their work. When they left our children kept asking when the nice painters are coming back and were devastated to learn that they were done. We highly recommend R Jones Painting, and will only be using them for future projects - they are the best!"

"The painters were prompt, more than prompt, friendly--and so careful--both with the power washing and the painting. They were also efficient. Power Washing one day--all the repair and painting the next. Special kudos to the kind and meticulous foreman Hus. Our little house has never looked so good. And so pleased my husband at 74 no longer had to scale those ladders. Totally happy."

"Good as Gold brought my two level deck back to life. They used the highest quality materials and supplies. The deck boards are median cocoa color, spindles and railings white. I love the contrast. It s a master piece! Greg was so great to work with. I will have them back to do more work inside the home."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Ideally, it's best to stain your dock once per year. Applying stain doesn't just keep it looking nice and new; it also helps extend the dock’s lifespan. Since you want to ensure water levels are at their lowest, it's best to have this project done by a professional dock repair service in the cooler autumn or early winter months. 

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

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.

Eggshell and satin finishes are best for porches because they sit in the sweet spot between scuffable matte and distracting high gloss. Your porch sees a fair amount of wear and tear, so you don’t want paint that’ll show every mark like matte, but you don’t want to be blinded by glossy paint in the sun either. Eggshell and satin have durability and a look that sits nicely in the middle.
