"Chris was wonderful to work with from start to finish. We hired Perfection Painting and Wallpapering to paint our entire downstairs and upstairs hallway, and the experience was seamless. Chris provided a transparent quote, he & his team arrived on time every single day, and completed the job ahead of schedule. Most importantly, the quality of work exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Perfection Painting & Wallpapering."

Customers say: Quality work

"We had a very pleasant experience with Kevin & Ric from Herington Painting. They were prompt, courteous, and in constant communication with me during the entire time they were on the job. They did a great job staining the exterior of our house and took special care to cover our deck, awning and landscaping to protect them from any paint drips. We are very happy with the quality of their work and would recommend them to anyone in need of painting services."

"Steve does excellent work. He completed work a contractor never came back to finish ( laying flooring) and fixed areas the contractor didn’t do well. Looks awesome! He put up 2 ceiling lights. He reconnected the dryer vent. Previously he installed 2 bathroom vanities and built a base so the vanities are high enough for a tall person. He’s replaced all the boards on the deck Looks fantastic. Put all new laminate floors in the kitchen, hallway and laundry room. He’s put up shelving units in the basement Anything that needs doing, large or small, Steve does extremely well. He will be returning to paint the bathrooms, replace more ceiling lights, and power wash and paint the deck. He completes work in a timely manor, he’s reliable and charges fair prices for his work. He is my go to guy for anything that needs to be done and done well. I’ve recommended him to family and friends. They have all been very pleased with his work. I highly recommend Steve."

"After flood damage, I hired this company to pull up dry and replace lvp flooring. On his recommendation of possible future flooding, I went with porcelain tile. The team went above and beyond even helping me place sandbags in the rain to prevent further flooding. The new floor is beautiful. The installation professional and precise. The communication through the job exceeded all expectations. I have several more projects for which I will use this contractor."

Painting questions, answered by experts

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. 

Adding a second coat of stain to wood can even out the color to some extent, but it won't drastically alter the hue if the initial application is too light or too dark. It's more effective at enhancing the richness of the color rather than significantly changing it. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.

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.

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

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.
