"Amazing communication, pricing was very fair, and even though the job cost a little more than expected. Chad never did ask for any more money upfront to finish the job. Chad and company went far and beyond, and expectations, we are definitely going to hire him for all of our paint job needs."

"Hatton Painting has been my to go to painter for several years. Originally they painted the outside of my house and the inside. This past year we contacted them to paint a new garage front that had been replaced. we also contracted with them to paint the inside of my house again, we had added a room from the original also. They were here at 9:00 am every day and were neat and professional while here. we also contracted to have the rest of the garage and the outside of the house repainted. This was done this year. There was damage to our sunroom and garage which meant wood needed to be replaced. The carpentry work and the painting went smoothly and we have nothing but good things to say about Mike and Mary Hatton, Do not plan to do any painting in the near future but will make them the first call and have and will continue to suggest them to friends looking for painting to be done. They also pressure washed both my decks which really needed to be done before the job was finished."

"Omar was very nice and professional. He explained what they were going to do. He carefully measured and took his time assessing the job. He touched base with us every day and explained the progress. Our job turned out beautifully. Our deck looks fantastic! I would hire them back without hesitation! Susan in Madeira"

"I was more than satisfied. The painters arrived early and worked until sundown. They thorough and efficient. I walked through the project with the owner once it was completed to see if I had any questions or complaints for him. As I said I was completely satisfied and I intend to use this company for my upkeep and maintenance needs in the future. I would highly recommend them."

"We had a great experience with OSS Drywall and Painting. They painted the exterior brick of our house as well as stained our cedar. It was a big job and they showed up on time every day, were extremely professional and answered all of our questions. They worked well with us when we changed the scope of the project slightly and also were able to do repair work as necessary. The entire team worked hard for the 2 weeks they were at our house and treated our property with respect. I can t say enough good things about the work and service we received from OSS. I would hire them again and again for any of our painting needs."

"The walls had many issues it was painted in a flat off white to hide all the problems.They had to resurface the entire area in the kitchen and other areas then sand to make the walls look normal again before starting to paint. They prepped very well so as not to get paint or dust from sanding on any of your items and took whatever time was needed to complete the project in a beautiful manner and no unexpected fees added after the original quote, They cleaned up everything before they left were very respectful at all times and the areas of the house they painted look great. I'd like to have them back when I can afford to paint the other rooms mostly on the 2nd floor. I would highly recommend them."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood’s grain for best results.

Satin paint is generally considered a better choice for woodwork—including trim, baseboards, cabinets, and doors—than flatter finishes like eggshell or matte. Its soft sheen enhances architectural details and stands up well to frequent cleaning and daily wear. Compared to eggshell and matte finishes, satin is more durable for high-touch areas because it is less porous and doesn't absorb dirt as easily. Matte finishes, in particular, are prone to scuffs and are harder to clean, making them less practical for surfaces like doors and cabinets.

Hiring a contractor or professional deck refinisher is the best way to ensure your deck is properly stained. They have the expertise, tools, and supplies to do the job quickly and efficiently. However, staining a deck is a manageable task for most homeowners, and doing the job yourself can save money. Just keep in mind that DIY staining is a long process requiring physical strain, so it may not be the best option for everyone.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.
