"Ernesto and his crew were amazing from start to finish. He was so kind and really paid attention to detail. He re-stained and repaired our back patio railing as well as painted our farmhouse interior/exterior doors. We will definitely call him again for any painting we need done at our home. Definitely a 5 star rating."

"Team was amazing. With limited time, they were able to get to us fast, efficient, and with a great price. Their service was top notch and with the crew that they sent out, they were able to knock out a rather large home with both walls and ceilings much faster than other painting contractors were quoting. They walked us through testing and validation and gave suggestions and made sure that we got exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Paintwell and plan on using them for any other painting projects that are required."

"We needed a paint job done fast and Luis didn't disappoint. He gave us a quote on the spot and the next morning he was at the house painting. It turned out so nice and clean. He even offered to pick up extra paint if needed at no extra cost. We couldn't be happier!"

"In addition to the roof repair, AA reinstalled 2 lightning rods on the roof. They also replaced rotted wood on three dormers and the hips on the upper balcony with Hardi-plank and painted them. Installed some new flashing as well. When I requested a quote, David responded quickly and was right on time for the first visit. Luis headed up the work and he and his crew were professional and fast. I would (will) hire these guys in a minute,"

"Mr Lopez and crew did fantastic job creating a level outdoor patio space, including ramp, that allows access for me using walker or scooter when my hip acts up and I cannot walk without help. He took my design and made it work beautifully despite tree roots and rocky soil. They were wonderful to work with."

Painting 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.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Yes, you can paint galvanized chain link, but the process is a bit more difficult as it requires additional prep work. Before applying the primer and paint, you must remove the original coating from the metal, which can be time-consuming. If the original coating is not removed, the primer and paint will not bond properly and cause peeling over time.

Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.
