"Perfect work on complete exterior paint projects are impossible to achieve. However, these guy's did phenomenal work. Nate and Javier's care and attention to detail was impressive. This is especially notable considering how much demand there is currently for painters. They didn't show any signs of rushing so they could move on to the next job. Their communication was proactive, courteous and thorough, whether in-person, by phone and text message (when appropriate). They willingly accommodated a late ask from our neighbor to stain the second side of a fence. After the project, they tidied up well beyond expectation and even masked my externally mounted garage remote so I could paint with Rust-Oleum. The house was a bit of a dog before the work. Now, it's beautiful! I am surprised to not find any prior Angie's List reviews at the time of this review. Don't let that deter you from considering Nate/PDX Rose City. He'll be my first call if future painting needs arise. Nate & Javier, it was a true pleasure working with you."

"Great to work with! The crew came with many skill sets to accomplish a complete front and backyard landscape design project with sod, irrigation, flagstone fire pit area, and landscape lighting. The plants and trees provided were a good variety, healthy, and a great value given the size of the trees. Hope to work with them again on future projects."

"Jose with Bellos construction is a kind person and a man of his word. The project ended up taking a little longer then planned do to minor complications. Jose still honored his original quote. Jose is a man of integrity and he holds his crew to high standards. I will use Jose and Bellos construction again in the future."

"Their roofing expert and a helper worked this in during some very cold winter weather, and had the entire job done in about a week.  They obviously knew their craft.  Rocket threw in a modest winter discount to get the job. We were impressed from the beginning with their grasp of the problem and suggestions for correction, and are happy with the results. We will gladly hire Rocket for additional fix-ups.

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.

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.

It is not always necessary to remove old stain before restaining a deck. If the previous stain is in good condition and is compatible with the new stain, you may be able to apply a new coat after thorough cleaning. However, if the old stain is in bad condition, flaking, or peeling, it is best to remove it completely to ensure an even surface and proper adhesion for the new coat. Staining over a damaged layer can lead to an uneven finish and poor penetration. For best results, test a small area first and consult the stain manufacturer's guidelines.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

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.
