"We were very pleased with the results. House looks great. Price was fair and reasonable. Joe DiBlasi was on site everyday with a crew of 5 painters who were professional and courteous throughout the project. This was a large home with cedar siding which required much prep work before they could even begin staining. Bushes were covered, and at the end of the day, the old stain scraped from the siding was swept and vacuumed up. Staining the house and painting of trim was done with excellent quality workmanship. When we are looking for someone to paint the interior of our home, we will call Joel."

"Overall -- quality materials and solid installation. It took a couple of tries to get an estimate, but once I had that in hand, along with a little web homework on gutters and leaf guards, the choice was easy. The installation was a breeze, and the guys even hooked up my rain barrels at no extra charge. The gutters look great and work well in heavy rain. I expect the leaf guards will do as well over the long run. I gave only 4 stars for "Value for Money" as the job was on the expensive side -- it was our middle estimate, not the cheapest, nor the most expensive."

"It was the best I had ever had prompt he contractor, they were prompt, professional, I was very very impressed with Tony LaMarca, he came out and provide information and actually brainstorm with me. He listened to everything I say and to my ideas, they ask assistance and they did brain storming also. The owner of the company even came out just to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. I just feel very taken care of, they don't take advantage, they were very respectful and did an amazing job for me. They were fantastic and I would highly recommend them."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

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.

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.

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.
