"Everything from the estimate to the cleanup was complete and professional. Everyone was very easy to work with. The painters arrived on time, worked very hard and stayed until all cleanup was complete. They did an excellent job of protecting the floors and furniture and getting clarification whenever a question came up. The finished product looks amazing, also. I would recommend Carnival Custom Painting to anyone

"From the first call I made… until the last stroke of the paintbrush, Jose and his team delivered EXCELLENCE! I was nervous about having to move everything and Jose quickly calmed my anxiety by saying “WE WILL MOVE EVERYTHING!!!!”They were attentive, KNOWLEDGEABLE, meticulous, and truly patient with every request. Their skill level is exceptional. They were thorough and fast, a few days later, they had completed each task by doing exactly what they promised, immaculate and to perfection with a 100% guarantee!!! They removed my belongings with care, covered them, primed, painted/stained and then placed all of our furniture back in place with great care when they were done. My walls, trim, ceilings, doors and flooring, (yes I got new carpet too) all look like we’ve moved into a brand new house. My home looks amazing and I have received so many compliments. Beautiful job! I will definitely be using them for ALL of my housing needs."

Customers say: Quality work

"We loved working with Emilio and his assistant on our house project. They began by pressure washing every inch of our house, brick and wood, and then came back to paint the wood and siding. Damaged siding was replaced and everything was made to look new again, including our pergola, which had really begun to show its age. We had postponed this project for a long time because it seemed overwelming, but Emilio made us feel like we were in good hands, and it turned out we were!"

Deck Staining FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.

Choosing the right product involves understanding deck material, desired finish, and local weather conditions. Opt for high-quality, weatherproof formulations ensuring long-term durability and appearance retention.

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.

The best temperature to paint a pool deck is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, because many paints and sealers require temperatures warm enough for the chemical reaction to take place for proper curing. The paint should not be allowed to freeze, and temperatures above 90 degrees can cause the paint to dry too quickly, also preventing the chemical reaction from following through to completion.

The opposite is actually true: Wood stains tend to appear lighter when they’re fully dry. However, stains may darken as they weather and oxidize with age. Stains might also darken on surfaces left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down pigment particles and cause them to darken over time.
