"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."

"Astrit and his crew were very friendly and professional. They repaired my front porch which had missing spindles and some rotting wood. Now the porch is very sturdy and no longer an eye sore. I’m very happy with their work and would recommend them for similar home improvement projects."

"The handy men were really nice and respectful. They did 2 jobs for me which includes a tv set with a fire place and a bead board for my California king size bed. The job was done in 3hrs and the work was done sufficiently. They cleaned up after themselves. They made sure I was comfortable and that I was happy with there work. I will definitely be contacting them for all my future handy work."

"Edwin did an excellent job. I had him prep and paint my living and dining room. They were in really rough shape and they had to basically skim coat every surface and it turned out wonderful. Edwin was very timely, did an great job communicating, and was affordable. I was very happy with the finished product and will probably be hiring him again in the future."

"I cannot recommend E&S Home Improvement highly enough!!! Edgar & his team were true professionals - from the consultation through the completion of the project, Edgar was communicative, patient with discussing options, and very thorough with the work. His team was friendly, respectful of the space & meticulous. They were always on-time & came when they said they would, removed their shoes in the house and even washed the windows at the end of the job. We hired E&S to change the color of our house from brown to dark gray with black trim. Edgar had videos of similar houses he’d painted to show us examples, and provided great recommendations. We are thrilled with how the house looks! E&S also designs and installs custom bathrooms with beautiful tile work, so we hope to hire them for that (& anything else!) in the future."

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.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Painting a damaged pool deck is not recommended if the substrate is crumbling, cracking, spalling, or otherwise actively deteriorating. Continuing deterioration will result in the paint also delaminating or flaking off the damaged surface. Minor damage such as chips or hairline cracks that are not actively deteriorating can often be repaired enough to paint over. A damaged pool deck with a lot of cracking and deterioration should be replaced for best results.

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.

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.
