"Robert came into our home at the mentioned time, was polite and friendly. He remolded my cabinets by painting them for me, also gave me an educational tip on which paint color I should use considering I have children who like to make messes! The job was done in a timely fashion, I love my kitchen now, literally looks like a brand new house! Iâ  m very pleased with his work and canâ  t wait to have him come paint my living room!"

"Very well done. There were some hard to remove stains on the old deck and several boards needed replaced. All were replaced and deck stains removed. The new stain was a new color and I had no places where I saw the old stain color at all. I would recommend this service again and I plan to have them do this again in three years. Very easy to work with also. No trash or paint items left behind. very professional workers."

"Thomas was punctual, professional, and highly responsive throughout the entire process. He did an excellent job painting our bathroom, and what really stood out was that he came back the next day to inspect his work and take care of the finishing touches to ensure everything was done right. We’re very happy with the final result and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable painter."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

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.

Regular cleaning, rust-proof coatings, and checking fasteners help prolong the lifespan.

The number of coats you need to apply when whitewashing a surface depends on how opaque you want the final product to be. If you're going for a transparent, barely there look, a single coat or two may suffice. For fuller coverage, you'll want to use multiple coats. Another option is to use a less diluted paint to get a thicker coverage. 

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.
