"Came out and inspected, secured a few loose tiles and resealed around vents . He told me that overall everything looked good, that my deck was "soft" in some areas and gave me a business card in case I needed anything done. Professional and polite. Not pushy"

"The crew did a very good job on the work.  Very detailed oriented, no carelessness seen in the painting, trim lines were sharp and well done.  I was able to watch the crew a couple days near the end of the day and they were walking around carefully checking their work to make sure nothing was missed, touching up spots that needed work and didn't seem in a hurry to leave just because the day was close to an end.  On the last day they even took a moment to fix a loose door handle on a storm door that they came across that I hadn't noticed.
As far as cost comparison, the quotes for the work was in the middle of the range from the other operators but this isn't a completely apples to oranges comparison as Action Painting and Repair's quote on the painting project had more detail on the prep work and included some carpentry repair cost upfront whereas the other operators statement of work and cost quote was more vague and just seemed to be painting and power washing.  The quote cost for the gutter install was in line with other quotes I received.
Importantly, the owner/operator, Matthew White, promptly returned phone calls and emails and also showed up for quotes and work reviews when he said he would.  His crews showed up when they said they would and never left a mess behind. 
This is contrast to the three other operators I contacted for quotes.  One didn't return my call for a week, after I had selected Action Painting and another no called no showed for the first contact quote.

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

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.

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

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 wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.
