"Ryan is a professional painter that takes pride in his work. Two areas were painted with attention to every detail. I'd hire him in a heartbeat for interior and exterior painting. Once completed, both areas looked great and both sites were totally cleaned. You can't find a nicer, more professional, hard working, attentive to detail artistic painter!"
"Jerry's Painting team was outstanding and professional. Communication was great, choosing colors was easy. I changed my mind last minute on the stain for our porch. The company worked seamisly to make sure our home was exactly as we envisioned. Careful attention to detail was given. We would recommend this company 5 out of 5 stars."
"Nick is an excellent handyman pro to hire for work inside and outside of the home. Nick patched and painted a ceiling for me. Nick fixed my 75 year old wooden door to the garage. Nick did excellent concrete repair for our seawall and steps. Nick rebuilt screens for our crawl space and the screens fit perfectly. There were other odd and ends that needed to be repaired in our house. Nick works extremely hard. I have a list started for the next time. Kim"

"Sherrie & Jeffery did a great job painting our large living room and our main bathroom . Bathroom ceiling was especially dirty and needed to be cleaned and then primed before painting. This was a two day job with having two coats of paint on ceilings and walls. Both were professional and a pleasure to have working with us, my wife and I enjoyed their sense of humor. We have them coming back next June for a outdoor project, and working with them on a couple of other projects for next year. We definitely recommend Chameleo painting for doing great work , and doing a great job of cleaning up. Thank you Sherrie and Jeffery!!"
"This October, 2021, we hired Kris – owner of KJ Services to perform carpentry and paint the exterior of our house. We could not be more pleased with the services he provided. Kris emphasized while doing his estimate that he would be there every day and perform the carpentry work himself in conjunction with the house painting with his helper, Milton. Kris replaced the wood on our two gables, repaired the molding along the garage door, and other repairs on our crown and fascia. He is a craftsman, and the repairs look brand new. And by performing the carpentry and painting, he was able to completely caulk the repairs and then immediately prime the area and paint. He also sanded the exterior of our entry door and stained the exterior – the door looks brand new and beautiful. The exterior trim painting was performed with great care using paint brushes and rollers. He did not take any shortcuts with the priming and painting. He performed this work while taking into account the rain that we received recently and performed work on the weekend to take advantage of the good weather on one of the weekends. Milton also performed tuckpointing on an area of where our brickwork had separated, and we were very pleased with the result. We have already asked Kris to perform work inside our house and are looking forward to his expertise and craftsmanship inside our home. Again, we highly recommend Kris, owner of KJ Services."
Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.
An exterior paint job typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, though this can range from 3 to 17 years depending on several factors. The longevity is influenced by the quality of the paint and primer, the quality of the application, the local climate, and the type of surface being painted. For example, paint on wood siding may need to be redone every 3 to 7 years, while painted brick can last up to 17 years. Aluminum siding often needs repainting every 5 years.
Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.
Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.
Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.
