"Carlos and his team at Distinctive Enterprises & Painting, LLC recently painted the exterior and interior of our home, along with staining our deck railing and did an incredible job! They provided a thorough estimate and I was able to get all my questions answered along the way. Carlos was incredibly prompt and provided excellent communication the entire way. Prices were incredibly fair and the attention to detail he and his crew put in was evident. I would highly recommend the team at Distinctive Enterprises & Painting, LLC for any of your painting/staining needs! Thank you Carlos and team!"

"We recently hired Dan Muir and his crew from Muir Painting to paint the exterior of our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The attention to detail was outstanding. His foreman, Matt, and the rest of the crew did meticulous prep work and painting all the way up to the final clean-up. Dan is professional, easy to communicate with, and clearly takes pride in his work. If you want a high-quality paint job that looks like it will last, look no further!""

"We hired Sunnyside Painting to clean and stain our Deck. They did such an amazing job we hired them to repair and stain another deck that we had at our rental property. They are very focused on quality and provide a very professional service at a VERY competitive price. I plan to hire them for another painting project later this summer. I highly recommend them."

"Professional House Painters painted the exterior of my two-story home (2 coats), including trim and door, and refinished the deck. They were very professional, fast and responsive. They came when they said they would and finished in record time. Their contract is detailed (not just a summary) and includes a two year warranty. Cost included the prep work, painting, upgrade for better paint and deck. The outcome was BEAUTIFUL. I highly recommend this company (Ramon and his workers)."
Beautiful final product!

"The company is certified to deal with lead paint. They did an excellent job. with a 3 color Victorian home in NE. They have a good guarantee and came back and fixed a couple areas the following year. They also do pressure washing and did an excellent job on soft wood(cedar) decking and pavement."

"We requested quotes from four contractors to paint our single-level 1,300 square foot house and 8'x12' shed. Not only was Ric the only one to respond, but he emailed us less than an hour after we requested quotes and came over that same day...and it was on a Sunday. Talk about a great first impression! He sent his quote the very next day, and it was about what we expected to pay. We are very happy with the work that Ric and his crew did. Ric is very personable and professional. He listened to what we had to say, and made some recommendations such as caulking the siding where necessary, which we agreed to have him do. His crew came over a couple of days before they were scheduled to start work to pressure-wash our house and shed. The actual painting took only two days, and there is absolutely no overspray or paint drips on the concrete or on our deck. They cleaned up after themselves and the house looks brand new. We've already referred them to two friends who are thinking about having their houses painted next year."

"So happy we chose D&N Colors Painting, LLC when we decided to have our house painted. They pressure washed the house, our ramp, and the carport. We had them stain our ramp, too. Everything is just beautiful. And to top things off the price was very reasonable. We would recommend this company to all our friends and family."

"Carlos painted my home and shop 3 years ago and did an excellent job. I got a bid for painting my deck railing and staining the deck itself. The bid came quickly and very reasonable. The job was done quickly and just as we had agreed upon. You wonâ t be disappointed."

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.

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.

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.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
