"Not professionals yet charge professional rates. Had to redo the repair of the wood on the window frame 3 times. Got paint on nearly every screen on my porch. Got paint on my Sunbrella cushions. Stain on the painted wood surface. Hundreds of drips on the lower deck stain when they stained the top deck which cannot be corrected without major sanding or sand blasting. I would not have hired them if I had known how sloppy they were. I was happy when they left. I think they were in over their head on what they bid."

"The Mar Painting Group did a wonderful job painting the exterior of the house! The price was comparable to other professional painters, and they were very detailed in their work - pressure washing, replacing rotten wood, filling in gaps and cracks, and painting siding, fascia, trim, foundation, and the bottom of the gutters. The paint job itself looked exceptional when it was finished - only a few places where the trim around the windows wasn't a perfectly straight line, but I'm pretty picky. And even though I found some places that needed a bit of touch up when I looked at the finished product, they were more than willing to do what was requested. The owner was a very down to earth guy who seemed honest and genuinely wanted to do a good job. The only complaints I have are that they didn't move everything back up to the house that they moved originally to paint it (I forgot to point that out before they left), and they left a pile of the rotten wood they removed. If I had brought these things up, I imagine they would have come back and dealt with that, but I figured I would just deal with it because it wouldn't take too long."

"I hired Paradise Contracting initially to renovate my property and get it ready to rent. During the walkthrough, there were structural issues that were brought to my attention that I was not aware of. Long story short, the support beam was on the verge of deteriorating and collapse! This could have caused major injuries or even death! Paradise Contracting literally helped me to dodge a bullet. Their expertise and professionalism is unmatched. I will never use another contractor again."

"Carlos did an amazing job. He was always on time and showed up everyday that he said he would. I needed him to tape, mud, and finish a room of drywall for me. He also patched some stuff that I asked about last minute. Great guy and does very professional work. He even left the workspace clean after everything he did for the day. Highly recommend!"

"Robby did extensive repair work on a gable roof extension over the front entrance deck. He also did siding on one side of the house, and repair work on other siding in areas where somebody else had messed it up. In addition, he installed windows on the end of the house that he had sided. He trimmed those windows inside and out. Plus he did a roof overhang across the entire front of the house. I am extremely happy with his work. Robby does quality work; and he also uses quality material. Also, he’s very flexible, and accommodating. In addition, he’s honest, has a good character, and is very fair with what he charges. I actually plan to use him for other work, in the near future."

"Tigran and his team did an amazing job painting all 7 of our rooms! They were super professional, worked fast, and kept everything clean. The paint looks flawless - smooth, even, and just perfect. I could not be happier with how it all turned out! Definitely calling them again for future projects!"

"I hired Perfect Line Painting to paint 10+ rooms/spaces and repair some cracks. I had walls, trim, doors and ceilings painted in all of those rooms/spaces. Sandy does an AMAZING job. He is very detail oriented and takes extreme pride in his work. My situation was somewhat unique in that I hired him from out of state to complete the work before we moved into our new house. Sandy spent over an hour on the phone with me while he was walking through my house to make sure we were on the same page. During the job, he frequently sent me pictures asking how I wanted something done. His honesty and integrity impressed me the most as once we agreed on a price (very reasonable!) and he got started, he noticed the previous painters painted over wallpaper. He could have done the same thing but instead patched all of the walls and/or removed the wallpaper so that the creases did not show. He didn't even ask for an any additional money for all of that increased labor, though of course, I gave him more. To say Sandy goes the extra mile is an understatement. I have already recommended him to several people. I think the best compliment for a business is to have a return customer and I will definitely be calling him again to finish the rest of our house."

"Luke was a gift! I moved from Colorado into a new home in Prattville, walked in the door and immediately realized I couldn’t live with the existing DIY paint job. I called Luke’s Painting, their estimate was $1400.00 less than their competitors, he started painting two days later. Luke was professional, honest, hard working and always cognizant of the fact that I was working from home while he was painting. The finished product is amazing, a realtor commented on how clean the lines are. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Luke’s Painting!"

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.

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.

Two coats of stain are ideal for the best protection and aesthetic appeal. However, if your decking is made of particularly dense hardwood, you may only need one coat. If you want an intense color, two coats are ideal.

If your biggest concern is making sure your deck doesn’t show dirt, opt for a darker neutral color that blends in well with your surrounding landscape. A rich brown or dark grey are both good options that work with a variety of house colors. A high-quality acrylic paint is easy to clean and maintain, so it might be worth spending the money on.

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.
