"Jason and his team did a top-notch job on their project for us. The exterior of our house needed to be repainted. Jason was quick to give us a quote when we requested it. He was in communication with us on the timing of when the project would begin (there were several rain delays). Once the project started they were dedicated to our project and were very professional. They did a great job prepping, pressure washing, scraping off old peeling paint, caulking around windows, and even fixing a few spots where some of the wood had rotted. We were very happy with how everything turned out! I would highly recommend Jason and his team!"

"We highly recommend W.R. Painting! We hired them to paint our Shed, and our Decks, as well to replace some rotten wood on our Shed. Their attention to detail was terrific. Customer service was excellent, and their workmanship was top notch. They were a little pricey, but well worth the dollars spent. Thank you, W.R. Painting for a job well done!"

"We had a great experience with Limber Gutierrez. They are extremely professional and did a great job painting the outside of our home. When they were done painting they did an amazing job cleaning up, you would have no idea that we just had the outside paint scraped and re-painted. We would definitely work with Limber Gutierrez again in the future!"

"What a great experience for us. From first contact to final inspection, DeltaPro personnel were very professional, timely and helpful. DeltaPro responded to our request for an estimate promptly, scheduled a date, listened carefully to our needs and provided a detailed and timely estimate. Our project consisted of painting our kitchen ceiling, great room ceiling and walls, interior hallway walls including four (4) interior doors & trim, three (3) bedroom walls & window trim, five (5) closet doors, all baseboards and one exterior garage entry door. Once contracted, DeltaPro personnel coordinated and scheduled our project to fit into our calendar and followed up with us prior to their crew arriving. DeltaProâ s Project Manager arrived with their crew of three (3) painters on time with our signed contract to accomplish a pre-start walk-through with us and painting crew to ensure everyone understood what needed to be accomplished. Paint crew accomplished all required prep work according to contract specifications, started painting and finished everything ahead of schedule. DeltaProâ s Project Manager stayed in contact with us and painting crew and conducted the post-painting inspection with us after painting crew was done. Again, contracting our project with DeltaPro was a great experience from start to finish. Thank you for everything you did to accomplish our project in a timely, professional and expedient manner. My wife and I are thrilled with DeltaPro Painters!!"

Painting questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.

If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home. 

On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.
