"They really went out of their way fixing a hole in the ceiling. They patched the hole perfectly and painted, but the paint didn't match. So for only $30 extra they took a sample to the store, matched the paint, bought some paint, and re-did the painting! They are very fair and honest and did a great job for us. For sure will re hire."

"Manny and his team did a fantastic job on staining my deck! Got the old paint off with great detail then stained it for a great finish. When I noticed something that was concerning, he redid the section to make sure I was pleased, no questions asked. He was punctual, kind and fast! Highly recommended and will be using him for other projects. Great experience all around!"

"Richard called to show interest in the job to paint my two iron railings on my brick staircase leading to my front porch. We discussed the job what it entailed. He described in detail what he would do to complete the job. He would sand the old paint off, remove all loose paint chips until the railings were smooth to accept the new coats of paint. He recommended Direct to Metal (DTM) paint advising it was much better than rust oleum paint. I did my research and read the same thing so we went with the DTM paint and I’m glad we did. Richard put three coats of paint, was meticulous in his process, very neat and carefully planned. He was extremely professional, polite and friendly to deal with. The job exceeded my expectations. I will use Richard and Best for Less the next time a pint project comes up."

"I hired All Stars painters for a small paint job, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. They were punctual, professional, and paid great attention to detail. The finish looks clean and even, and they made sure to protect surrounding areas and clean up afterward. The job was completed on time and exceeded my expectations. I?d definitely recommend them for any painting work?big or small!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

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.

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.

Select based on wood type, climate tolerance, and personal preference for color and finish, with choices like oil-based stains for longevity.

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.
