"Tyler and his crew were very professional and easy to work with and did an excellent job repainting our 1930s tudor-style home and garage. He patiently helped us pick colors and provided many samples, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
Shades of Rose made a very competitive bid and, more importantly, demonstrated that they could safely and competently handle the lead-abatement issues that are so common among older homes like ours. Several other bidders whined and moaned about the recent regulations for lead treatment -- one bidder even recommended that we completely replace our cedar siding!  Shades of Rose provided real solutions and put us at ease.

"Vadim and Skavic take great pride in their work and are very proffessional. We had two very large Exterior Wood doors restored and re-stained. They communicated every step of the process well and clearly took a vested interest in the final result. They were incredibly respectful of our time and property and I would highly recommend them."

"I highly recommend Mi Caza Painting LLC. Zach came to my home to measure the porch and give me a quote. He arrived on time and was very professional. He agreed to get nonslip paint for my porch. He power washed the porch to prep the porch for paiting. He returned on the agreed upon day and sanded areas that needed sanding, put down a primer coat and then the final coats after it dried. He arrived on time each visit and did a wonderful job. My porch looks great. I have no hesitation giving Zach and Mi Caza 5 stars."

"I hired Pait Paul LLC to paint a table, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The attention to detail, smooth finish, and professional craftsmanship were absolutely outstanding. They truly transformed the table into a beautiful piece that looks better than I could have imagined. I was so impressed with their work ethic and skill that I’m already planning to hire them again for a wall painting project. If you’re looking for a painter who is reliable, talented, and dedicated to delivering top-quality work, I highly recommend Paint Paul LLC! Feel free to personalize it further!"

"David Jackson and his crew did an outstanding job for us painting our home and repairing a significant portion of the hardy plank and framing under our front porch. The crew was professional, friendly and willing to spend time answering questions. David also personally took the time to explain concerns he saw with the house and made some recommendations to us going forward. I'd highly recommend hiring Millenium."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

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.

Whitewashing isn’t permanent, but it can last for a long, long time. When you apply it correctly or have a seasoned pro whitewash your brick, whitewashing can last for 20 to 30 years or longer. Whitewash is very durable and typically requires little maintenance, making it a great project for most DIYers.

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.

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.

Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.
