"Anton, the owner of European Craftsman and Remodeling, has done a lot of work for us over the past few years. He has painted and fixed the entire exterior of our home, repaired our roof, built a beautiful front patio with stonework, and also re-finished our cedar outdoor deck. This man is an absolute top-rate craftsman of the highest order. Every single job that he has done for us has been done with great care, detail, and amazing quality. All of this done with complete trust, no price increases unless there is an impending issue that comes up, and extreme reliability. We have other work that we need done, and there is absolutely nobody else that I will ever call in the Hudson Valley - Anton is our man! We have had nightmare issues in the past finding good carpenters and contractors - they are usually not reliable, do garbage or incorrect work, overcharge, etc so when we found Anton, we were amazed and are now thrilled. If you need something taken care of in your home or want to upgrade some appearance, painting, stonework, repair, decks, I give my highest recommendation to call Anton. I would rate his entire work for us at a 10/10 and A++ rating, no joke. I am simply a very happy customer. Frank"

"Rich and his team are truly professional painters and the best I have seen in the painting business. They stained the exterior of our home in 2021 and painted several high-ceiling rooms. They provided a fair price inclusive of paint/stain and truly are experts in painting. There are people that will paint for you and then there are professional painters who can quote a job, show up with all the necessary equipment for complex jobs and finish on-time. Highly recommend Rich and his team!"

"E&S Painting and Home Improvement did a beautiful job on our bathroom remodel. We were on a tight deadline, as we were having family visit and Edgar and his team made sure we had everything done to accommodate our guest. Our bathroom looks like something out of a magazine. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of work. I would definitely recommend this company for all your renovation/home improvement needs."

"My wife and I were completely amazed by the quality of work, communication and price of A-1's work. Price: I had several people quote the job. The prices ranged from a little under A-1's price to nearly double. The high price was ridiculous, and the person couldnâ t explain why. My house is 20 years old, and every wall needed TLC. Jim, from A-1, understood that half the project was getting the walls and ceiling back into shape. He went through room by room and helped me understand what should be painted (walls, ceiling, and baseboard) and where I could hold off and save money (painting doors â mine were in pretty good shape). He developed a detailed quote and that was the exact price at the end of the job. Communication: Jim texted me several times leading up to the day the job started and then during the process to inform me about the status of the painters. I was never guessing when someone would show up or when the job would be complete. Quality: Wow. Shockingly good!!! There were less expensive painters, but it was clear from talking to Jim that he had many years of experience â as did the team he employed. Before the painters arrived, I told Jim that I needed to cut a 6â hole in the wall to secure some pipes the had broken free. No problem. The lead painter, John, created a patch and 30 mins later, the hole was gone. 60 minutes later, you couldnâ t tell that I had cut a hole. John went on to patch every hole, dent and corner bead that had broken free. My walls looked like they had chicken pox. John went over everything was an expert eye. Jim visited the site several times to ensure the team had everything they needed and that I was satisfied. I canâ t say enough about John, the lead painter. He was exceptional. Great attention to detail, fast, neat and very friendly. Clean-up. The team put cloth down on everything. With all the repairs, the cloth caught wall chips, mud and paint. On the last day, the team pulled these out, vacuumed everything and replaced all the furniture. Great attention to detail!!! I would recommend this contractor to all my friends and family!"

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

No, you don't need to stain Ipe decking, although you can if you want to change the color. You will, however, need to apply a UV coating if you don't want the natural color to fade. Speak to a deck staining specialist near you to discuss the best options if you want to stain your decking. And remember that you’ll need to seal your Ipe wood deck annually to protect it from scratches and Mother Nature.
