"I am so impressed by the work of Joel at DaVinci Painting! First of all, he is exactly on time every day and his attention to detail is top notch. He repaired a wall after a cabinet removal with no patch visible after painting. He works so diligently and independently that you can almost forget he is even there. Also, he uses paint that has a very low odor so you can actually sleep in a room the same day. Very happy with his work and will definitely be using him again for some more interior painting projects!"

"We have had the exterior of our house painted/stained numerous times over the past 35 years, but no one has done such a phenomenal job like Rainbow Painting. I can not recommend this company enough as they were absolutely incredible. This family owned company was detail-oriented, friendly, exceptionally thorough, and took extreme pride in the quality of their work. Although they were the least expensive of any of the quotes we received (by $2,000), they went above and beyond our expectations. They were at our house promptly each morning and painted our house as if it were their own. They were dedicated, conscientious and exceptionally responsive to all our questions. They masked off, draped, and/or covered the areas not to be stained, and then thoroughly cleaned up upon completion. They even cleaned the exterior of all our windows. They provided suggestions, recommendations, and when they were done, our house looked as though it was brand new again. I usually never leave a review, but I was so impressed with Rainbow Painting that I would hire them again in an instant for any future work (like interior painting. Note that I am not personally affiliated with them, nor compensated in any way. I rate them 5+ out of 5 stars."

"We highly recommend Five Star Painting! Everyone that we had contact with was professional, friendly, efficient, and responsive. We had ceilings and walls in 4 rooms and 3 hallways painted and they finished in 1.5 days. And it all looks so good! Very reasonable pricing. Meticulous work. We will definitely use them for any future painting needs."

"I would highly recommend Culver's Painting. Communication was excellent from start to finish so we knew what to expect and when. They painted our whole 3-story house and garage and finished very quickly. Any minor things we needed touched up were done immediately, and the crew that did the work was very pleasant and cleaned up so well. There was no mess left behind at all."

"This is a family business. I hired them to paint the exterior and interior of my house. They also stained a large deck, a sliding glass door, and new kitchen cabinets. They were competent, straightforward, and flexible with our schedule. I'll remember them the next time I need painting and staining work."

"Employees were very personable and did excellent work. It's the second time that they have either painted or stained for me and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I never even bothered to look for another company because I was so pleased the first time around."

Painting 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.

Wood stain is typically dry to the touch within 6 to 12 hours, but it is not fully cured at this point. You should wait at least 24 hours before applying a second coat or a protective finish. For surfaces like decks, avoid walking on them for at least 24 to 48 hours, and wait even longer before placing furniture. The full curing process can take from 24 hours to one week, depending on the type of stain. Factors like high humidity and cold temperatures can extend drying and curing times, so it's wise to allow for extra time in these conditions.

We don’t recommend it. A wired brush or a brush with metal bristles damages concrete and asphalt during the stain removal process. For the best results, stick to nylon stiff enough to do the job but gentle enough to keep from scratching the driveway. For extra caution, skip the brush entirely and use towels.

For homes in areas with extreme weather, high heat, or intense sun exposure, high-quality acrylic paint is the best option. Acrylic paint is durable, resistant to both heat and cold, and provides a protective barrier with excellent UV resistance. For best results, look for acrylics that contain natural earth pigments, which are better suited for resisting sun damage. While oil-based paint is also durable, it can be prone to fading in high heat and can become too viscous to apply easily in cold temperatures. Additionally, choosing a neutral or light color like gray, beige, or white can help, as these colors absorb less heat than darker shades.

Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.
