"All aspects of the work were done professionally. We had our deck/ramp power washed and stained with a solid color stain. We were kept well informed regarding timing and received a lot of assistance in choosing a method for staining. The work was done professionally, promptly, and to our specifications. All employees from the owner to the painters themselves were pleasant, polite, and very professional. The ramp looks beautiful. They provide a warranty and even a free "touch up" service. Work was done quickly and quietly and clean-up was thorough."

"Doug did great job keeping me informed of the date work would be performed. He quickly replied to questions I sent him via email. Donny & Will did a great job staining my home. I did have to have them return to re-stain a section of the house that showed brush + roller contrast. They avoided damaging plants in area of the work! They listened to my concerns, doing their best to accede my concerns."

"Tom showed up for an estimate to repair drywall and seal tobacco staining. I explained the ultimate gold for this part of my home, He walked me through additional details and options. You understood loud and clear what needed to be done better than I did. His estimate came in the lowest of other contractors. The completed work was done ahead of time, Right on budget. And they left the place cleaner than when they arrived. I'll be reaching out again soon for my next project. This is a great crew. Almost like having neighborhood friends come over and help with a project. In this business so much can go wrong by hiring the wrong guy. Birman is one contractor you will want to keep in your phone!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

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.

Always sand a deck before repainting so the wood is smooth and ready for paint. While you do not need to fully remove paint before repainting, sanding helps remove any areas with weather and sun damage. Sanding also helps remove chipped or flaking paint and opens the wood pores to improve paint adhesion.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.
