"I cannot recommend Palette Pro enough! From start to finish they were professional, on time, thorough and extremely neat and clean. William was the project manager and he handled the entire job seamlessly. This was our first time painting the exterior of our home and they could not have done a better job! The painters were amazing. They did the absolute best job and even fixed a prior job's mistakes that we had. I love the fact that they have many people at their finger tips depending on what you need. When we needed to fix some masonry work, they immediately had someone come to my home to take care of the job. We are beyond happy with the way the paint job turned out and would highly recommend Palette Pro and William to handle any of your renovations or house updates."

"If you are looking for a skilled, reliable, and honest builder look no further. Throughout our project planing Michael was helpful and knowledgeable, during the work schedule Michael was in full communication, disclosed any setbacks, and redirected any issue that arose. Home project can take on a life of their own, but Michael managed it all with poise and determination to get me relaxing on my beautiful deck as soon as possible. I would (and will) hire Michael and his crew again."

"This was the second time I worked with Shecki and Jose. The first was painting the house exterior and it's still holding up well 5 years later. The second time was a re-staining of the deck. Work was done beautifully. Paint was neat, no streaks, carpentry was done well and we're very pleased with the end result. Pricing was a little high this time around. Hope that stabilizes in the future, would definitely look to work again with Shecki and Jose."

"Esteban Vazquez the owner of Taurus Painting is extremely courteous, hard working and efficient. I have lived in the CT area for 13 yrs and have had my house painted 3 X and never have i had such a fantastic job! Esteban went beyond just painting in fixing rotten wood etc. He started when he said he would, worked from 8-5 everyday and finished when EVERYTHING was painted (actually stained) His entire crew was polite and hard working. If I could have rated him a 10, I would have! Taurus Painting deserves an A++++++"

"Miguel Tapia the owner was outstanding. He promptly followed up his initial proposal and we reach an agreed upon price. His crew was hardworking, neat and professional. I was impressed with their prep work as the took the old paint down to the wood base. They painted around numerous flower beds without disturbing anything. I was so impressed with their work, I had them repair and paint some wooden shingles on various areas of the siding of my house. Very pleased with the work and the cost."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

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.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

Constant exposure to inclement weather conditions can damage your deck, causing it to fade, warp, or crack over time. Regular maintenance keeps it looking and performing its best. That means giving it a good cleaning and applying a quality sealant or wood treatment to help defend against moisture, sun damage, and everyday wear.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.
