"I needed to paint my deck as well as the exterior of my house. Denis and Klajdi did a great job in a timely matter. They were very professional and made sure the job came out as I was expecting. Highly recommended and I’d definitely hire Albany Supreme painting when I’m ready to paint the interior of my house this summer"

"We are so pleased with the quality painting work performed by the team at G & G Pro Painting. We appreciate the detailed work G & G Pro Painting did. They put significant time into the preparation of the walls, ceiling and trim. Now our walls and ceiling surfaces look brand-new! Brian and his crew work well together and work efficiently. The team is polite. They took care to cover our furniture and floors. It was a pleasure to have them working in our home."

"We hired Dede to paint the interior of the house we'd just bought, and he did a great job on a tight timeline. Gaps and stains were caulked and covered, weird scalloped trim removed, and the entire house looks great. They left the house cleaner than they found it. A little expensive, but he worked with us to get closer to our budget, and there was no one else who could get the house done within our schedule. Would definitely rehire and recommend!"

"We recently hired Joe and Color Concepts to paint the exterior of our home and we couldn't be more pleased with the service and final look of our home. Joe is fantastic, presented us with several options and professional opinions along the way, completed the work under the proposed timeline and we absolutely love how our home was transformed! Extremely pleased and highly recommend Joe to anyone considering a home painting project, large or small. We are so pleased with Joe's work we are using him for interior painting again in the Spring. Highly highly recommend. - Matt Manda & Elise Stefanik"

Painting questions, answered by experts

You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one.

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.

Yes, many fence repair services include treatments like sanding, priming, rust prevention, and repainting to protect the fence and restore its appearance. These services help prevent further corrosion and improve aesthetics. However, since not all providers include this, it is best to confirm what is covered before scheduling the repair.

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 best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.
