"Starting with providing the estimate, everyone was very punctual and professional.   There were a few issues, however Dan Collins corrected them immediately.   I had confidence the job would be completed to my expectations and they were.   I would use Dan Collins painting again.

"From our very first interaction with our AWESOME estimator, Rob, the process couldn't have gone more smoothly with Declan and Chris doing the install and on through to dealing with their billing department for payment.  We especially appreciated their product knowledge in helping us select the best shutter for our needs and the best color too.  We did have a rain delay from the original install date, but communications were great and a new date set asap.  All interactions with employees have been professional and courteous, and Declan even accommodated a change we needed to do day of install which saved us money.  We just moved into a new home and are very unhappy with the quality of the painted finishes, so will definitely be calling Nolan Painting when we are ready to get it re-done correctly.  We also had our outside Christmas lights done by their "Shine" division last year.  What a great service since I don't want my husband climbing ladders to the roof and he didn't want to do it anyway.  Nolan Painting does much more than just painting and so far everything I've seen has been top notch!!!

"Lez and Ricardo arrived on time, had all the tools for the job with them that were needed. They listened to what needed to be done, made some good suggestions and completed the in a timely manner, I was also pleased with how clean they worked and their attention to detail. They made the bathroom look like new again and the bedroom ceiling stains are all gone and looking great. I will be using them in the future and will recommend them to family and friends for any painting jobs they have. Thank you"

"We are so happy we hired this company! They painted multiple rooms in a newly purchased but older home, and did an exceptional job while meeting a short deadline for us. They really take pride in their work, and did some things over because they wanted a perfect result! Shout out for Tom and Mike who were so easy to work with. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and their attention to detail was extraordinary. Thank you Chris for exceeding our expectations!"

Deck Staining questions, 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.

You’ll want to avoid excessively hot or humid conditions, so it’s best to apply your stain in late spring to early fall. It's also important to watch the weather forecast and aim for days when there isn’t rain expected for at least three days. For new decks, allow the wood to season beforehand for at least four to eight weeks.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.

The longevity of paint on wood depends on factors like the quality of the paint, surface preparation, exposure to elements, and maintenance. Exterior paint on wood surfaces can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Interior paint tends to have a longer life span, often 10 years or more. Regular cleaning, touch-ups, and addressing any issues like peeling or cracking can extend the life of the paint. 

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint.
