"I had an excellent experience with Lewis Painting. They were extremely reliable, worked very hard and did an amazing job! They made sure that everything was done completely to my satisfaction and were totally professional throughout the entire process, from the initial visit and estimate through to the completion of the job. Their prices are extremely reasonable and fair. I am so very happy with their work. My deck and front porch look just beautiful! I highly recommend Lewis Painting and will definitely hire them again in the future."

"We could not be more pleased with the outstanding job John did on our deck. In extreme heat, he meticulously sanded, power washed, and painted our old deck. The finished job was over and above what we thought could be done with this deck. John was a pleasure to deal with and as hard a worker as I have had at our house through the years. Very fair pricing."

Both Tom Sr. and Tom Jr., along with Freddie and Matt were very professional.  We bought our home about a month before actually moving in.  We met with other contractors but Tom Jr. stood out with his knowledge of what could be done without hesitation.  The written estimate was quickly received and the deal was made.  They had our kitchen gutted in no time!  Tom Jr. met us at Lowe's to give the kitchen consultant the dimensions and for any questions she may have had.  He taught us the difference between solid wood flooring and laminates.  We chose solid hardwood floors to go into a home built in 1950 with no major renovations in its past.   Needless to say, he ran into crooked floors and uneven walls, but his craftsmanship is impeccable and made everything fit just right!    From creating as open a concept as was possible in our old/new home,  right down to crown moulding on cabinets and in living room,  his touches are seen in all 4 rooms.  Tom Sr., did an outstanding job on the new walls and made our old walls look new.  He stained, poly'd, and installed the new oak treads and painted the fronts and sides of stairway and same with bannister. Many hours of spackling & sanding did Tom Sr. perform!!   As my fiancé is retired and I work 3 - 12hr shifts/wk,  we were home pretty much all the time during the reno.   We all became friends, especially my fiancé who was with them everyday!   They have great sense of humors, and can laugh and work at the same time :)  Tom Sr and my fiancé hit it off immediately,  discovering they had similar views -  they were pretty funny to listen to.  Made the reno and having to live out of the upper level for a couple months certainly more tolerable.  Tom Jr. was very courteous in keeping the fridge and stove in the kitchen until the last minute so that we had some comforts :)   Tom Jr. is also to be commended for his patience with us as we requested some extras.  We had a woman come by and knock on the door after all the work was done.  She knew the elderly woman who lived here previously.  We invited her in and she cried at how beautiful the entire downstairs looks!

They cleaned everything, everyday when they were done.  We have upstairs renovations to do next and will be contacting All Phases for sure! We actually missed them when they were done & gone!  I would highly recommend them to anyone.

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.

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.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

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.
