"This company did exterior paint/stain in white on our small deck & very long privacy fence (28 8 ft. sections); both sides. They did power wash it first, then applied 2 coats of exterior paint. We also hired them to paint/stain our rental's decks in back & front; both in black. This very efficient team did an outstanding job. Looks great!!!"

"The Buckeye paining crew did an excellent job painting the trim, and deck on our house. The whole process was handled in a very professional manner, with excellent communication in each step. The quality of their work was outstanding, and the crew was very courteous, and pleasant to have around for a couple days. We were especially grateful for their help (Katy) in selecting appropriate colors for the job."

"We could not be more pleased with Jamie Miller's work. His professionalism is top-notch! In addition to the cleaning, sanding, staining, he replaced a rotted deck railing. We appreciated that Jamie took care to protect the dense perennial gardens that are in front of the deck skirting to minimize possible damage. He also did some touch up work on the chimney. We're planning on having him do interior work for us during the winter."

"Excellent! The painters were on time every day and moved all furniture/items off deck, power wash, scape and sand all rough wood areas also did extra repairs like fixing my gutters so water wouldn’t leak on the deck and repairs on deck stairs / trim, I wasn’t expecting that extra work they did, top of the line products were use on my two tone deck and it looks beautiful There professionalism and quality of work has far exceeded my expectations and I have and will continue to recommend you to my friends. Thank you Paint and Rollers!"

"I had my garden fence stained with full coverage and they did a great job. She was hard working and did not leave until the job was done. It was a very warm day and there was no shade yet she just kept on working. Very pleased with the process and the results. The pricing was fair and competitive. Day or two later they came back to check results and decided touch up needed to be done. They saw things I did not. Great Job 5 Star!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

It’s a good idea to sand your porch before painting. This will remove loose or chipped paint and debris, and give you a cleaner surface so that your new paint goes on smoothly. But if the existing surface is in good condition, it’s not necessary to sand your porch before you paint.

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.

Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.
