"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."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

A five-gallon bucket of deck stain will cover roughly 875 square feet in a single coat. Actual coverage will vary based on the type of wood you’re staining and the number of coats. If you plan on doing multiple coats, multiply the square footage by the number of coats to calculate how many buckets of stain you’ll need.

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.

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.

Aftercare includes routine cleaning, checking for water repellency, and promptly addressing any chips or peels, maintaining the deck's appearance and functionality.
