"Perfect. This company has maintained and painted my decks for over 25 years. My 34 year old wooden decks are still beautiful. They have also painted the inside and exterior of my home for the same period. They go over and beyond and I am indeed grateful."

"The experience with H&S painting was smooth. The crew showed up when Humberto scheduled and worked efficiently, quickly to complete the staining and paint job on the house prior to the targeted end date. Colors and staining came out just as expected. The crew was clean and courteous in the day to day interactions. Crew also identified a previous unknown issue with the fascia connection to power on the house so that was much appreciated. Very professional team. I highly recommend H&S painting to anyone considering painting and staining their house."

"Professional from the day they performed the free estimate. Fabian and Joey made all necessary repairs and then washed and painted the entire exterior of the house, including full patio and walkout deck. They were always on time and kept us informed of all work and expected deadlines. Would recommend to anyone."

"I wrote a review about work Wood Painting did on the outside of my house. I hired them again to paint the interior of my rental house, 9 + rooms. They masked and covered light fixtures, fans etc., removed all outlet/switch face plates, and blinds. There were ugly, outdated wallpaper borders in every room of the house. The wallpaper was put up with some type of glue, not wallpaper paste. Needless to say that presented a problem, the paper would not come off of the walls. The painters tried to remove as much as possible, but it would not budge, so they did some magic, and poof no more wallpaper borders. Everything looks great. Everything was done to perfection. I am very satisfied with their work."

"I needed Work done in my house around the common areas. Hugo did a phenomenal job in setting up, painting, as well as cleanup. There have been times when I’ve had to clean up paint droplets in the past, but there was nothing for me to have to clean after he was finished with the job. I would 100% recommend having him come out for any job big or small! I plan on having him come back to paint the exterior of my house in the spring and I can’t wait to see the results!"

"CPP Painting arrived on time, completed the work as agreed and wrapped up the project(s) ahead of schedule. The finished product was better than expected. We needed some assistance with paint coloring ideas and their suggestions were amazing. We originally hired CPP for some interior painting, flooring, baseboard and cabinet work. We then re-hired them a second project that included exterior painting and additional interior flooring & cabinet work. We anticipate a third project for them in the near future to include a full bathroom remodel. They are prompt, reliable, do amazing work and were able to make changes mid-project. We never heard the word 'no' from them with any request. We highly recommend their services."

"We desperately needed interior painting done on our home and called up Ken at Bighorn Painting and Drywall and he came out gave us an estimate we could work with and set it up. Ken and Aldo did such an amazing job on these walls that the previous owner destroyed with ugly color choices, holes and chips everywhere and now they look new. I really enjoyed having Aldo and Ken in my home both men are exceptional people and do exceptional work."

Deck Staining FAQs, 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.

It’s often best to spray on deck sealer. Sprayers can apply sealant more quickly and evenly than rolling while still enabling you to reach tight spaces. When using a sprayer, always use a low-pressure setting at a close distance to ensure an even application. Avoid using sprayers on windy days.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must.
