Request a Limewash EstimateBeautiful Limewash Starts With the Right Surface Preparation.
Limewash performs best when brick and masonry are clean, sound, and properly prepared. We evaluate the surface, remove dirt and loose material, protect surrounding areas, and apply limewash in controlled layers to create the natural, dimensional finish this mineral coating is known for.
Proper Masonry Prep
We inspect the brick or masonry, remove dirt and loose material, and prepare the surface carefully before limewash application begins.
Breathable Mineral Finish
Limewash creates a breathable mineral finish that works with masonry rather than forming a heavy film over the surface.
Natural Color Variation
We control application and coverage to create the soft movement, depth, and variation that give limewashed brick its distinctive character.
Timeless Curb Appeal
Limewash softens the look of brick while preserving its texture, creating an elegant finish that complements both traditional and modern homes.

What surfaces can be limewashed?
Limewash is best suited for porous masonry surfaces such as unpainted brick, stone, and certain masonry finishes. We evaluate the existing surface first to determine whether limewash is appropriate for your project.
How is limewash different from brick paint?
Limewash creates a softer, more natural appearance and penetrates porous masonry rather than forming the same type of film as conventional paint. The result is a breathable, mineral-based finish with subtle variation and character.
Can you control how much brick shows through?
Yes. Limewash can be applied for a more solid appearance or selectively washed back to reveal more of the original brick. We discuss the desired look before application so the finished appearance complements your home.
Does brick need to be cleaned before limewashing?
Yes. Proper preparation is important. Dirt, mildew, dust, loose material, and other contaminants should be removed so the limewash can properly bond with the masonry surface.
Can limewash be used on previously painted brick?
Traditional limewash performs best on porous, unsealed masonry. Previously painted or sealed brick may not absorb limewash properly, so we inspect the surface and recommend the most appropriate finish for its existing condition.
How long does limewash last?
Limewash naturally weathers and develops character over time. Longevity depends on the masonry, exposure, preparation, application, and the appearance you want. Some homeowners appreciate the gradual patina, while others choose to refresh the finish periodically.
