"From the initial estimate to completion of the painting job, Ronnie was responsive and dependable. His estimate for the work was very reasonable. He called the day before he planned to start to let me know his team would arrive at 7:30 a.m., which they did; and they immediately got to work. Ronnie had to travel to several paint stores to get a particular stain that we needed for the job, and he handled that well -- not annoyed or flustered by the inconvenience. He also replaced some damaged shingles and moved a set of exterior shutters to an upper window. The team was neat and organized and worked together like a well-oiled machine. He asked me to inspect the work when he finished and told me to call him if I found any problems and he would return to fix them. I haven't found any problems at all. I would definitely hire Ronnie again - for either interior or exterior work. I highly recommend him."

"Dan and his crew did a fantastic job painting the interior of our newly purchased home. Two things are noteworthy. A large wall of wood-stained built ins was painted white. Several painters didn't want to touch this part of the job, but Dan and crew did a great job! We are thrilled with the effect. Secondly, all the work was done while we were away. Dan updated us regularly with pictures and our home was in great shape when we arrived to see the transition from Oriental to Coastal. We recommend him wholeheartedly. You can trust both the quality of the work and the integrity of the workers. When we have another paint job, we'll feel great about working with Dan again."

"They did a terrific job. Arrived promptly, covered everything before beginning to remove the wallpaper. Sanded and smooth the walls before painting so no bumps would show. When they were finished cleaned up the area. Would recommend them to friends."

"Jim was very professional from the time we met him to check our roof from the hail damage, he was not pushy and was very professional, Jim, helped out with everything we needed to get the roof completed after hail damage. Our neighbors were so impressed several of them hired his company as well, his workers were very polite. I would definitely hire him again. They got their work done fast and they cleaned everything up when they were finished. I thought his prices were very fair compared to other companies that we had gotten estimates from. Allrestore has the Certainteed roofing and also has a five-year warranty on the work, That gave us a peace of mind."

"We recently updated our primary bathroom and interviewed several companies to paint our cabinets. We chose Above and Beyond, and we’re so glad we did! Joel repainted our cabinets and did an outstanding job. His promptness during the estimate process was greatly appreciated, and his attention to detail, cleanliness, and professionalism truly stood out. We’re extremely pleased with the results and highly recommend Above and Beyond for any cabinet painting project."

"Mike was very professional from the first phone call. He came that evening when he said he would to give us a estimate.
We originally called for a estimate on staining our fence front and back and after talking with Mike we also asked him to pressure wash the house. He came when he said he would and did everything we asked, he even went the extra mile and stained our yard swing the same color as the fence.
We were so happy with the job he did on the fence we then asked him to stain our deck, we had tried to stain it on our own last year and had really made a mess. He had to work really hard to get the stain off but he did a great job and our deck looks so good.
It was a pleasure to work with Mike and we are very pleased with the work he did and will definitely use him again. He is prompt and does a high quality job. Our fence and deck look great and we have received compliments from friends and neighbors, we highly recommend him.

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.

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. 

Yes, beginners can use a paint sprayer, but there is a learning curve. It's important to go slowly, read the instructions thoroughly, and spend some time learning the technique. Watching tutorial videos for your specific paint sprayer model can be very helpful. Before starting your main project, practice on a scrap surface to get used to the sprayer and avoid common issues like overspraying, which can cause drips, bubbles, and other imperfections. For safety, always wear a mask and gloves, and be careful not to touch the sprayer's tip when it's in use, particularly with high-powered airless sprayers.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.

Ipe wood can last up to 75 years with minimal maintenance because its own oils help to preserve it. However, to get the most out of your Ipe wood deck, you should perform some routine maintenance, including regular cleaning, sweeping of leaves and debris, and rinsing spills with a hose. It’s also important to repair any deep scratches as soon as you spot them and reseal the deck annually to protect against scratches and scuffs.
