"Ronald did an excellent job. I’m very happy with the way it turned out. He was on time. Did the job in a timely manner very professional. Once he started the job, he finished completely and in a short period of time and the stain looks fantastic on the shed. I would recommend this pro for any job that you have or you need done."

"GREAT WORK! We have used this company for all our painting needs. Used since 2018. They recently completely redid all my kitchen and utility room cabinets including the island. Went from old stained cabinets to beautiful painted cabinets. They always take great care in taping off and using plastic to cover areas to prevent overspray and unneeded brush marks. Always on time and keep the work area clean. Our house was in terrible condition when we bought it, but with MQ’s help it is now one of the nicest houses in our area. I HIGHLY recommend MQ for all our painting needs, inside and outside!!"

"Agustin and his crew did an excellent job.  Not only did they complete the work timely, they went over and above what I requested.  They also took extra care to make sure that all my belongings were protected while they we're working.  I will definitely use them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone needing interior or exterior painting.  Thanks Agustin for a wonderful experience!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Wow! Troy and Shawn took our out of date knotty alder cabinets and made them brand new. They filled in the holes and the kitchen is now light and bright with bright white cabinets. We did the center island in a black magic and it was a work of art. We also changed our wall paint from beige to agreeable gray. This was no easy task with the great room being 20-25 feet tall. Our house now looks like a model home. Light, bright and cheery. A great job at a reasonable price. I would recommend Elite Coatings to anyone who needs painting done at a high level and a reasonable and fair price."

"Saul is very professional and quite a knowledgeable pro. We hired him for some exterior trim repairs and painting of our home. He also sanded down and re-stained an older deck and it looks new again! He and his team were prompt, friendly, and did a very thorough job. I highly recommend CK Painting to anyone needing his services. After reviewing several different companies, I chose without a doubt the best company for the job. I would certainly use them again."

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.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

The best exterior paint for the job of painting your front porch depends on the material you’ll be painting. Acrylic paint is often recommended for a wooden porch as it’s durable and easy to apply. If your porch is made of concrete, you’ll need to find a formula suited to that material.
