"Jim was very prompt with his inspection of the property, quote preparation and then scheduling the job. Jim was very easy to contact with questions and he was onsite while the job was being done. He was very helpful providing samples of the products to be used so that we could make decisions on the shingle colors, etc. Hi crew was did a great job doing the work. They cleaned up continuously and took excellent care not to damage plantings, shrubs, furniture, etc. When the job was complete all was thoroughly cleaned up, furniture was returned to its place, etc. All in all this was a good a good experience for a big job."

"I recently contacted Tasi for an estimate for interior painting and a pretreatment for tobacco stained walls. He came out a week later, and gave an excellent estimate with a rough draft almost immediately, because he had a pad. He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the project. He knew about the pre treatment which some contractors did not. He was very thorough with very competitive pricing. He was always in contact and just very professional. I was very impressed. I would definitely recommend his business for estimates before hiring anyone else."

"Bob did an amazing job painting the walls and ceiling in our oversized family room. He not only patched and sanded a wall that a previous contractor had left in a terrible condition, he filled and sanded a ton of nail holes, repaired the nail pops on the ceiling, sealed the ceiling and walls and then painted everything. The room looks absolutely incredible! We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Would definitely recommend DiMenna Brothers!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Choosing whether your deck should be lighter or darker than your house is a matter of personal preference, as there is no right or wrong answer. However, considering the pros and cons of each can help guide your decision. Darker colors are often chosen because they show less dirt, footprints, and marks from daily wear, making them easier to keep clean. On the other hand, lighter deck colors tend to stay cooler in the summer. From a design perspective, using a deck color that contrasts with your home's exterior can help make the deck a more defined and distinct feature. Consulting color theory can also make the process of choosing a complementary house and deck color combination easier.

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.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.
