"My experience with Universe Painting and Juan has been amazing! They were always on time and their work is beautiful! They are extremely clean and after each day of work leave the house very clean! They are highly professional. We not only hired them to paint the interior of our entire house, they also repaired water damage to ceilings and popcorn ceilings and completely power washed the exterior of our home!"

"Frank and his team recently painted the whole inside of our home. Him and his guys were professional showed up on time. They got right to work in the morning with everything covered and drop cloths throughout. They were meticulous and even stayed until the paint dried to see it needed another coat. Turns out it didn’t need another coat so they stayed longer than necessary to make sure the job was right. I will be hiring him again soon to do the bathrooms next."

"There were two painters and a worker that did the necessary sweeping, picking up of debris, etc., so that the painters could keep doing the painting. We have a storage loft in the garage that needed to be emptied which was not an easy task as the loft did not allow the men to stand up. One painter had to bend over to push the storage containers to the edge of the loft so that the other could bring them down the ladder. No items were broken including my antique collection of Christmas tree ornaments! They patiently put all the items back in specific areas as I requested. They also needed to remove some shelving to paint the walls and then replace the shelving. The were extremely neat professionals and so very careful of our rugs and furniture for the staining and painting they needed to do in the townhouse. There was a daily visit by the on-site manager who was efficient and pleasant to work with. The owner, Paul develops a full contract so that there a clear agreement as to the work to be done. All details are included. This is a very professional company. As well, they were pleasant and good-natured individuals for the three work days they were here."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.

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.

The plastic in composite decking boards protects them enough that you do not need to paint them to prevent warping. In fact, painting composite decking voids the warranty of some manufacturers. Painting can also increase maintenance on the deck, as you must paint regularly to keep it looking its best.
