"Needed to sand and stain a mid-century style wood ceiling on a short timeline due to other work scheduled immediately after the project. Rubumco did an excellent job of prepping all the rooms, carefully protecting the existing painting walls, before they carefully sanded with dust collection equipment to keep everything clean. They did a great job of touching up ceiling beams and making crisp paint lines to make the ceiling really pop. Will definitely use Rubumco in the future for other paint work."

"Evergreen Painting I had to manage my paint project from Arizona so from the start it presented many challenges. Being out of state made it difficult to get contractors on the phone and get them into my home for an accurate estimate. Fortunately, I found Andrew at Evergreen Painting. He was flexible, sharp on communication and very thorough on what my paint project needed. While in Arizona he maintained constant communication and provided me with updates on how my place was going. Without having to be in WA state to see it I knew the project was on schedule and looking great. In my experience, that level of customer service is hard to come by with other companies. Prior to contacting Andrew I spent weeks talking with different GCs and painters to get timelines and estimates but unfortunately the vast majority of them were unclear about their timelines, poor on communication, or unavailable when I needed them. Andrew was clear with his timelines, available to complete the project and more importantly he was on target with his initial estimates. It can be frustrating working with trades and having different costs come up during the project only to have the final invoice be higher than the initial estimate. Andrew and Evergreen Painting did it ON budget and completed days ahead of the initial deadline. Give a quick rundown on what work I needed done, my home (built 2005) had original beige walls and wood trim everywhere. It definitely needed an refreshed look. He and his team did a phenomenal job repainting my walls, ceiling, trim, doors, door frame, window frames, and cabinets in all rooms. Essentially every inch of the home was painted. We opted for agreeable grey walls and alabaster white for ceiling and trims. The place turned out amazing. The quality of paint he selected and recommendations for my home were top notch. You can spend hours going through Google business, HomeAdvisor, Yelp etc to try and find the perfect painter like I did or you can call Andrew at Evergreen Painting. I wouldnâ t hesitate to contact Andrew again for any future projects."

"Admirable professional attention to detail during prep, staining, clean up and end of job walk around our cedar-sided home. Crews were a pleasure to have on site. Office staff was pleasant to work with and went out of their way to be helpful. Couldn't be more pleased."

"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!"

"Indica Construction did an amazing job for us. They could have simply painted our trim and gables and leave. They discovered demonstrable rotten wood and trim and addressed it perfectly. They wrapped our home with a beautiful paint job with an emphasis on longevity. We are grateful for their skills and professionalism. Thank you Indica Construction!!"

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one.

Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.

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.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Stain is meant to be absorbed by the porous wood, allowing some of the natural grain to show through. With that in mind, you don’t want to add more stain than the wood can absorb, as you risk covering up its natural markings. Generally, two coats is the maximum you should do, although very dense hardwoods may only be able to take a single coat.
