"It took more than two weeks to have all the work competed. I was not on a tight schedule but I would have like to work completed quicker. Yes, I did have a lot of prep work. I would have expected the "fine tuning" to be better - the lines and trim. I replaced switch outlet covers and saw that they were not removed during the painting. Some of the covers are a little smaller and I had to touch up what was missed, Some hearting grids were painted over with wall color and some painted the trim color. All should have been trim color. The lines separating ceiling, trim and walls are not crisp and straight. Some areas of the walls were not repaired as well as others. It seemed the work deteriorated as time went on - the first few days things did look fine but as time went on the work was not as clean."

"New Era Pro Painting exceeded our expectations on all levels. From the very detailed quote to the great care by which they treated our home. They scraped everything, filled in holes, sanded, replaced rotten boards, primed and then painted our entire three story house. The worksite was kept very clean and the team was incredibly responsive and a pleasure to have on our property. We definitely recommend. Our house looks beautiful."

"I recently had the exterior of my home painted and I’m really pleased with the results. The quality of the work was great—everything looks clean, even, and professionally done. They were on time, stuck to what they promised, and communicated clearly throughout the process. The price felt fair and they left everything neat and cleaned up when the job was done. Overall, it was a smooth experience from start to finish. I would definitely recommend them to others looking for exterior painting."

"FABULOUS!! We hired Steve and his crew to paint the interior of my father-in-laws home to get it ready to sell. The house went from a 1970's pink and mauve nightmare to a hip and cool 2018 ready to sell home. They painted every room -kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom and two bedrooms and ceilings. Plus all the trim, doors, steps etc. The work was meticulous. We have had so many compliments and people cannot believe it is the same house!!! All done within a week at a very reasonable price. It was a pleasure working with Steve and Alvo and I plan on hiring them to paint the exterior and interior of my home. I am so lucky I found him and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch professional painter. They were on time, very clean and did very precise work. We couldn't be happier! Absolutely Gorgeous Paint Job!!!"

"Estimator arrived when expected. I was very impressed by his professionalism and knowledge. While I did not choose Nolan's for the deck which is my immediate need, I will most likely use them for the interior work."

"I can't say enough praise about this company. They were fabulous. I stressed to the Manager Chris, how important communication was to me and he was wonderful keeping me informed about the entire project. Chris was very detailed in writing down on the invoice the exact work on wall repairs and painting that was to occur. He came to the site almost every day to ask if I had any guestions or concerns. The painters, Matt, Silas and John were professional, courteous, attentive and very hard working. Great job guys. I will let you know when the next painting/plaster repair job will be at this old house. thanks again!!!!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Deciding whether to stain or paint a pool deck depends on your budget, desired look, and the deck's material. Both options can work. Paint offers a wider variety of color options, provides excellent water resistance, and can last longer. However, it requires a primer and can eventually fade or peel. Stain is often cheaper, easier to apply, and penetrates the wood for a more natural look and longer-lasting finish. It also has great water resistance. The downsides are fewer color options and the need for a sealant. The choice can also depend on the deck material; for example, staining may be a better option for concrete as it bonds well and lasts longer than paint.

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.

It’s necessary for paint to completely dry before exposure to rain, and that drying time varies by the type of paint used. Oil-based paint takes 6 to 8 hours to dry on average, meaning that’s the minimum time needed between the last brush stroke and the first raindrop. Latex paint dries faster at around 1 hour, and acrylic paint is even quicker, usually drying in about 30 minutes. If rain is in the forecast, check the paint manufacturer's details before laying on a new coat. 

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.
