"A really terrific company. Zach, one of the owners, was attentive to all my requests, and a pleasure to deal with. Kyle, the painter who did the work, was meticulous with every step of the job, obviously an experienced professional. I now know whom to call for all my future painting needs."

"I can not recommend Pro Finish highly enough! First, they are responsive. Even though we were looking for a project at a really busy time of year for them, Jared was always responsive and communicative setting good expectations for when he would come for an estimate and when they would be working. Secondly, advice. They are professionals and they have same great guidance and opinions of you have any questions or want any suggestions. Thirdly - the team of 6-8 painters at the house were both professional and fun to have around working. They worked quickly and carefully and did a tremendous job. Overall, I will absolutely hire ProFinish again to work on additional projects at our home!"

"Had our whole house interior - 1,750 sq ft. - walls, trim, doors, baseboards were painted as well as staining our backyard porch. Tom Birman and his crew, Lorraine, Tom, Terry and Nick did a great job! They were friendly and professional. They were on time everyday and worked so well together! When they first came they all went in different directions and I thought uh oh, but I was surprised because they had a system of working together that was so smooth I was amazed! Job completed in 4 days. We are elderly and they were so very helpful taking things down for us that were up high on the walls, because we can’t climb ladders anymore. Cleaned up nicely too. Did a final walkthrough today. We are very happy with the quality of their work! Would definitely recommend and I would hire them again."

"We needed our house repainted. I hired this company based on the reviews I had read. And now I can add my voice to the mix; they showed up when they said they would, did a great job and the price was reasonable. What more can one ask?"

"Dave and his team are very professional and courteous. Hired them for exterior house & deck painting, they arrived when they said they would be there on Monday morning and completed the job by Tuesday afternoon. Dave worked closely with me on color selection and was very patient when I was changing my mind about trim work. You can't beat the price for the quality work they do. I would hire them again and highly recommend this company."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.

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.

No, it is not okay to paint over rotted wood. Painting over rotted wood will not address the underlying issue and can trap moisture, leading to further decay. Properly addressing the rotted wood by removing and replacing or repairing the damaged areas is necessary before you can even consider painting.
