Limewash & Whitewash Services
Two of the most popular brick painting styles are limewash and whitewash. Limewash is a traditional coating made from slaked lime and water, offering a breathable, eco-friendly finish that allows bricks to age gracefully, creating a natural patina over time. It penetrates the brick surface, providing a textured, matte look that can vary in color intensity. In contrast, whitewash is a mixture of water, hydrated lime, and salt, yielding a thinner, more translucent layer that sits on the surface of the brick, allowing some of the original texture and color to show through.
Each of these painting services will add a brighter look to any traditional brick home. While whitewash will always appear white, limewashing can utilize different shades of paint like taupe or even gray. One of the biggest differences between the two is that whitewashing often lasts longer and will not need to be touched up as often. However, each of these services can add the modern design you are looking for to your home’s exterior.

How to Maintain Painted Brick Homes
Once you have decided to have your brick home painted, there are a few routine maintenance services to keep in mind. While natural brick can be extremely low-maintenance, after you have your home painted there will be some additional upkeep needed. If your paint has started to chip, fade or peel, the exterior of your home will need to be touched up or repainted. To keep the exterior of your home clean and free from unsightly buildup, you may also need to invest in the occasional power washing service as well.
