Top-Quality Coatings for Home Exteriors in Metro Atlanta

Many people may have heard of whitewashing, but not as many homeowners are as familiar with a specific type of whitewashing known as brick wash. This superior, longer lasting form of coating is excellent for protecting all kinds of structures and surfaces from succumbing to harsh weather conditions that often strike homes in Georgia.

With such a changeable climate, the exteriors of homes need to be able to withstand scorching sun, wind, rain, and hail. This is why it is so beneficial to have our dedicated Marietta painting experts at Jose’s Painting and Remodeling apply our long-lasting, durable limewash treatment. You can have true peace of mind knowing your home will be secure from unnecessary deterioration by using organic lime stone paint, which will calcify with your brick surface and outlast conventional paint and primer latex paints.

Why Choose Limewash for Superior Protection?

Even though there are many types of wash coatings available to homeowners, one of the most durable choices around is that of limewash. Created from a powdered form of limestone, this substance then receives a thorough application of heat and water, so its internal makeup is transformed into a tough, long-lasting coating. Once this layer is applied onto surfaces such as mortar or brick, erosion that comes from the harsh elements of rain or sun or wind will be greatly decreased. Limewash has been such a powerful form of protection that many old buildings, including those in Ancient Egypt and Greece, are still standing on account of their limestone coverings.

Whether your home is made from terracotta, brick, or even extremely porous substances, it can benefit from this superb form of paint. Just get in touch with our brick limewash painting professionals so that we can arrange an excellent application. In addition to our limewash painting, we also provide expert interior painting as well as exterior painting!

Step-by-Step Process of Applying Brick Limewash

Limewash is applied in a multi-step process that involves preparing the surface, mixing the limewash, and then applying it correctly to achieve a durable and attractive finish.

Here is a brief overview of the process:

Surface Preparation: The first step in applying limewash is to prepare the surface to ensure proper adhesion. For brick or masonry surfaces, this involves cleaning off any dirt, grime, or loose material. If the surface has existing paint or sealants, our team will remove them, as limewash needs to adhere to the porous surface of the brick or masonry.
Mixing the Limewash: Limewash is typically made by mixing slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) with water and, if desired, pigments for color. The mixture is usually allowed to sit for several hours or overnight to achieve the right consistency. The consistency should be similar to thick cream, which allows it to spread easily while still penetrating the surface.
Application: The limewash is applied using a brush or a roller, with a brush being preferred for traditional methods. It’s usually applied in multiple thin coats rather than a single thick coat. Each coat is allowed to dry before the next one is applied, which can take several hours to a day, depending on the weather conditions and the specific product used. Our team works in manageable sections to ensure a consistent application and finish.
Curing: After application, the limewash needs to cure, which involves a period of drying and carbonation. During this time, the lime reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to form calcium carbonate, which hardens and bonds with the surface. Proper curing can take several weeks, and keeping the surface lightly damp during this period can help achieve a more uniform and durable finish.
