What do Riverside homeowners ask about lime wash and specialized painting?
What is lime wash paint?
Lime wash is a mineral finish made from slaked limestone that soaks into stucco, brick, and masonry instead of forming a film on top. It dries to a soft, mottled, matte look that ages into a natural patina.
Can lime wash go over painted stucco?
Not directly. Lime wash needs a porous mineral surface to bond to, so previously painted stucco needs a compatible mineral primer first. We test adhesion on a sample area before committing to the whole wall.
How long does a lime wash exterior last?
Expect a lime wash exterior to need a refresh coat about every 5 to 7 years, depending on sun and rain exposure. It's designed to wear gradually, so a refresh is simpler than a full repaint.
Do you make samples before applying a decorative finish?
Yes. Every lime wash or Venetian plaster project starts with a sample board or an on-site mock-up, so you see the real color and texture in your own light before we start.
