"I had a good experience with MD Painting... and they did much more than painting. They completely redid the restroom of the master bedroom. They also completely redid the kitchen. And in another restroom they changed the toilet, sink and mirror only. All together: materials and labor I spent $15,450. Alot of this is due to that I chose the most premium and choice materials you could find. And this includes wall tiles, 2 toilets, sink, new shower walls and floor, new kitchen walls, new handmade cabinets in the kitchen (which they made), top quality granite (bought at Tajams) countertops and a matching granite table (which they made) and fine chairs (7 in number). The workmanship was superb. It could have been done cheaper but like i said I went for the most premium materials. And I should have perhaps not brought in the price of materials into my review, I know, but it would just get a little tedious to divide the costs all perfectly like that for me. Also, they were very nice in their character. I say because I've hired other construction companies that when nearly completing the job seem like they are dragging their feet murmuring about how hard they are having to work, just want to get paid and leave and not finish the details. It never felt that way with MD Painting. It was a serene atmosphere of trust and charity circulating among all of us. I have more projects for them in the future."

"From the beginning, when I met Mr. Jim Hernandez, he and the other staff members were very courteous and professional. Materials and cost were explained and agreed upon. The job was delayed due to several days of continuous rain. They made sure that the job would be done when it was clear. Once the job was begun, I was shown the damage. I was shown the before and after pictures. I was very pleased with the work. They did a great and professional job. I can rest assured that the new roof will last a long time and prevent my home from being damaged by inclement weather. I will recommend Roofing Solutions to anyone who needs a roof replacement."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.

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.

Various kinds of substances and deck preservatives act as protective coatings for wood to prevent rot, which is caused by water getting into the wood and creating cracks and splits. Stains, paints, and sealants are the three best options to protect your wood, but there are also oils, varnishes, and waxes available. You’ll need to reapply sealant at least once per year, and you should inspect your wood deck regularly to look for signs of damage or general wear and tear.

It's okay to walk on a newly painted deck after about four to six hours as long as the weather has been dry. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you place any outdoor furniture or grills on a freshly painted deck, though.

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.
