"My husband and I had a more complex project, which included painting the inside of a 5200 square feet house, staining beams and staircase, and adding additional work as the project went on. CertaPro was very professional, reliable, and took pride in their work. They were helpful in guiding us on our project in terms of what colors, stains, and additional ways to add extra character to our home. They even helped correct uneven walls, cracks, and baseboards. We are obsessed with how our home looks and will definitely use Craig and his team again! Definitely recommended!"

"The work that Zach and Always Perfect Contracting did for us filled us with hope! Being first time homeowners we despaired of ever finding the quality people we needed to do work on our beautiful Victorian Lady.  We had several companies come out and look at our front porch, which was sagging a bit, and had useless, waterfall creating, box gutters. We chose Zach because the repairs he suggested sounded like the best long-term solution. Some of the other contractors' suggestions were simple and quick-fixes (easy for them to do), but would not have given us the results we wanted.
Zach is a busy man, so it took him awhile to get to us, but he kept in good communication with us via email and answered all our questions. Once the work commenced, it went quickly, and we are exceptionally pleased with the results.  Zach matched the look of the rest of our house with new hanging gutters and new porch roof and shingles. It's beautiful! He also took the time to talk with us about some downspout issues we were having and put new downspouts on in such a way that future drain repairs will be easier.
The cost for the work seemed very reasonable considering how much was replaced, and his original estimate was accurate.  We intend to have him do further work on our roof and gutters.

"The crew was on time each day. They were professional and easy to work with. They patched and painted the deck and ceiling of my garage to stop the leaking into my workshop.The job came out real good. They had to move the furniture off my deck and some woodworking equipment from my workshop all went well. The real test for this repair will be when it rains later this week and there is no more leak. I would recommend A + for your future projects."

Deck Staining FAQs, 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.

When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to 10 years of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at two to three years. 

Apply a wood stain or sealant to properly maintain a wood deck railing and keep it looking new. Sealants protect wood from moisture and weathering. Regularly inspect the railing for loose screws, damaged balusters, and other signs of wear to make timely repairs. Routinely clean the railing using mild soap, water, and a soft bristle brush.

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

You don’t necessarily have to remove all the old paint before repainting your deck, but it’s best to remove as much as possible to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. Prioritize scraping off loose, peeling, or flaking paint, and sand down rough areas to create a smooth surface for the new paint to bond with.
