"Ken is by far the best contractor I have ever worked with. His attention to detail and workmanship are top-notch. He is honest, reliable, and trustworthy. I would give him ten stars if I could. He did an amazing job painting our monolithic dome and 3 car garage. He also helped with landscaping, interior paint, carpentry, and several other things that needed attention. I am so grateful to found him and would hire him again in an instant!"

"We just had two different jobs done on our home by 5 Star Painting! We are thrilled to have found this company. We have our own home, plus 5 rent homes.v It has always been a challenge finding painters that are any good to maintain all of our homes. Or to show up when they say, etc. Then I found 5 Star on Home Advisor. Wendy came out first, viewed the job, then gave us a price. We agreed. We liked that they are insured and bonded. Their ad states they are always on time, never ask for a penny up front, and never up their bid. Everything they say in their ad is true! They showed up each day when they said they would be there. The work is beautiful, and done with such care and attention to detail. We had them do a second job besides painting the home, and that was to restain and renew our deck railings, Absolutely beautiful job! Thank you to the owners, Wendy and James. Also, kudos to all of the workers who were so polite, excellent workers, and did such a beautiful job. WE have more jobs on our home and on our rent homes for them. Wendy and James are the best! So happy to have found some painters that we can rely on. We frequently need painting work, and now we have an excellent, trustworthy company we can rely on! Thank you, again, to 5 Star Painting. We are so pleased to have found you! I will post further reviews as we have more work done!!"

"They did an excellent job replacing the window and all the wood trim inside and out. They matched my paint and were very professional. Although it was a little more involved with some rotten wood, they stood by their estimate. Professional, on-time, work performed exceeded my expectations."

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.

In most cases, sanding an old deck before staining it is necessary to achieve a decent finish. If your old deck has a relatively new stain finish on it and you're only doing touch-ups, you can generally skip the sanding part. However, if your goal is to make the deck look and function better, sanding first is a must. 

If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.

The best type of paint for concrete exterior surfaces like concrete porches, steps, or walkways is high-quality exterior-grade paint with strong weather resistance. Acrylic latex blends with tiny anti-slip particles will help create an anti-slip coating for your concrete porch. This type of paint will stand up best to the elements, especially rain, snow, and ice. An exterior epoxy will also help strengthen your concrete porch.

You’ll need to restrain your deck when you notice fading, cracking, peeling, or mold and mildew over a moderate to large area, or when it’s become especially difficult to clean. As for how often to stain a deck, plan to do it every two to three years or whenever you start to notice extended damage.
