"He's a perfectionist. He uses high-quality paints and brushes. There weren't any drips, and everything was thoroughly covered. We applied two coats, which we were very happy with. I received referrals from two other people at our church. He had painted the inside of our church, and another person I knew had him paint the outside of their home; both were very pleased with his work. He always says, and he said the same thing when he finished the inside of my house, 'If you have any problems, call me and I'll come and make it right.' He offers a really good guarantee on his high-quality work."

"Vadim and his crew love their job and they are great at it. They painted our whole house and deck in 3 days including all prep. They filled all the cracks in the wood and the finished job looks fantastic. It sets our house apart from all others on the street. Competitive price but a bargain for the high quality job they did."

"Ben Phillips was great to work with. Our second story decks required serious repair/replacement of supporting beams and posts. The job was expertly done and care was taken to keep the hot tub protected during the work. Ben tells you when he will start and communicates wonderfully and timely for any changes. Very Professional!!"

"The job was done in a timely manner and clean up afterwards was done well. I would have liked a bit more scraping but my house was in rough shape. High quality paint was used and plenty of touch up paint was left. All in all a good job."

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.

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Oxygen bleach uses hydrogen peroxide as a base and won’t harm wood when using it as a cleaner. On the other hand, chlorine bleach breaks down wood at the cellular level and causes irreversible harm. Although you may not see immediate damage to wood after exposing it to chlorine bleach, its strength and integrity are now compromised.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place.
