"all of the work was done in 2.5 days. very professional crew, equipment and truck. they cleaned up after everyday. they even brought in excess paints and stains from previous jobs to stain my privacy fence and deck, something that I was not charged for. I went with 3 quotes but for the work needed these guys had the best price."

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

"Excellent. I called Robert to come to review work in my home and give me an estimate. He came the next day and emailed me a quote the day after. Stated he had been in business for 40 years and used his own employees. I could tell he was very professional and gave him the job immediately. I asked him to come back out to my home to pick the colors for the repainting of the two bathrooms. He came the following day, I picked the colors for the repainting for him to purchase. It was a two day job. First day, the wallpaper had to be removed and mud put on the walls to sand down and set overnight to dry. Robert himself made some minor wall paper repairs in the kitchen on the first day. The two employees that removed the wallpaper and repainted the bathrooms the next day were very polite and professional and cleaned up both days before they left. One of his workers was his supervisor who had been with his company 19 years and his brother who had also been with him many years. Robert came "exactly" on time for all our appointments and his two workers also showed up "exactly" on time as promised each day. (I was lucky to find Roberts Wallpaper Removal and Painting service on Angies List). In addition on the second day they put on "two coats" of paint. One that morning and then went to lunch and that afternoon it was ready for the second coat. They finished at the end of the second day as Robert had promised. I can give Robert Bates and his company Roberts Painting the highest rating A+. They came on time, did the work exactly as quoted and did a most professional job. I am 100% satisfied with their work and will hire them in the future to do more inside painting work in my home. Both baths look like brand new with the 20 year old wallpaper down and beautiful new paint on the walls. (Great job and work all the way)!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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. 

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 important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

Whether to paint or stain a deck depends on your personal preference for appearance and budget. Stain provides a natural look with a range of undertones, is typically less expensive, and may only require one coat, but it does not last as long as paint. Paint offers a sleeker finish with a virtually unlimited color palette. Both options will protect your deck from outdoor elements like rain, snow, and general wear and tear.

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
