"Trim Line Painting quickly responded to my request for External House Painting quote. I selected them (from multiple quotes) because they had experience with staining a cedar structure, their price was fair, they provided references and photos of previous clients. Glen (owner), was very good about letting me know the scheduling of my project and when he would be on site. This was a great experience and I highly recommend your consider Trim Line Painting for your next project!"

"Mario was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning of the quoting process to finishing the deck staining, he was very professional, communicative, friendly, and did an amazing job. His pricing was more than reasonable and I look forward to working with his company again next year to repaint the exterior of my house."

"Leo came out within one business day of our initial contact to give me a quote and just a few days later was back with his team to start work. My deck is a second story deck with a plywood platform that they tore down, painted & replaced in 1 day in addition to replacing the steps on my stairs. When they came back, the team put 2 coats of a rubber coating on the surface of the deck, built & installed wooden shutters. The next day they started knocking out my new Trex railing system around the deck & stairs. Throughout the project & at the end of each day, Unique kept the workplace clean (the deck is over my driveway), I was able to park in it each time after they left which I really appreciated. Leo stuck to his quote, called to let me know when they were on their way, Leo & his team members were very polite & worked hard to knock out my project in 2 1/2 days whereas another contractor who was working alone quote $1500 more and a time estimate of 4 weeks. Not only would I hire them again but I have already gotten a quote to do matching railing on my concrete porch steps, which they will do as soon as the materials arrive, and in a few months Iâ ll have them back to retile around my fireplace. Very satisfied with the work, the speed & the team."

"Super quick to reply and get onsite. Spectacular Job. Jonathan really knows what he is doing when it comes to carpentry. Sylvia is fantastic to work with as well. I could not be happier. I had a one-off request to have them build removable Wood Wall Dividers. They saved me in a last minute pinch. Reasonably priced. Will definitely use again."

"We contracted with Keith and Jared this Spring to paint our home and out buildings exterior after seeing the job they did on our neighbors home. We could not be happier with their work. They went out of their way to make sure everything was done correctly and to our satisfaction. They were also a pleasure to work with! If you are looking for a first class paint job on your property, you’ll not find a better team! I give them a triple A rating!!!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

You can paint over old paint on a concrete porch. For the best results, you should first clean the surface and remove as much paint as you can. A power washer is helpful here, but you’ll also want to scrape as much of the old paint away as possible. Then you should prime the porch before repainting it.

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

You’ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.

A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.

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.
