"I hired Grine Busters contractors in Farmingdale to Sheetrock my living room and dining room ceilings and paint them. They were very professional and did a great job. I would hire them again for any future home repairs that we might need again."

"Juan was great! His workers are excellent! Prices were fair, they showed up on time, were neat and clean. Our house looks great and it was a difficult project as our center hall has 30 foot ceilings. They painted the family room, living room, dining room, kitchen and center hall. I would certainly recommend them to anyone considering painting their home."

"A friend advised that we check out Home Advisor, we had never heard about it before so we gave it a chance and I am so happy that we did. We went on their website to review the recommended companies and saw that Handymack Handyman Services stood out with their reviews. We can now see why, we are SO happy with our deck! There were a few minor scheduling mishaps throughout the process, but overall they did a wonderful job. They were willing to do a style of stairs off our deck that they had never done before and were very helpful with the planning process of it all. I was impressed that they did everything in their power to ensure our happiness with the results as well as making sure everything would be up to code, safe and sturdy. I think all parties are very happy with the result! They had great ideas throughout the process that added a personal touch to the deck and made it look even better than imagined. We will definitely use their services for future projects in a heartbeat and will refer to all of our friends as well! We are very satisfied customers that can not wait to enjoy our deck for many years to come!!"

"Anabel did a fantastic job. He painted my daughter’s room which required painting stripes on the walls and he did a beautiful job. He is a true artisan. He painted my bedroom and a high ceiling over our staircase. All done beautifully. He is neat, accurate and a very nice man. I would highly recommend Anabel."

Deck Staining questions, 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.

Hangers are one way of attaching stair stringers to a deck. These metal hangers are usually adjustable, allowing you to find the ideal angle for a secure installation. They’re the best choice for installing longer staircases, such as one on a two-story deck, to reduce the load on the deck frame while keeping the stairs stable.

Essential tools include brushes or rollers, drop cloths, sandpaper or power sanders, and appropriate cleaning supplies. Quality materials ensure long-lasting results.

If you have wood decking, there are several common deck problems that you might encounter. For example, your natural wood boards may fade over time due to things like sunlight, weather, and debris. On top of that, some types of wood decking can rot, grow mold, and attract destructive pests—including termites, carpenter ants, and woodpeckers.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.
