Residential Case Study – Brick Ranch House In Huntsville, AL

CertaPro Painters of Huntsville completed a project to update the look of a brick ranch house from the 1990s, enhancing its curb appeal. The house, in excellent condition, required a modern aesthetic. The work included pressure washing and painting using Romabio Classico Limewash paint, which allows the brick to breathe as moisture levels change. This authentic Italian slaked-lime paint creates distressed and wash-off effects, suitable for an Old World feel or a modern look. The goal was to achieve a mild distressing for a classic southern ranch home appearance, and the distressing was done by hand within the drying window to meet the customer’s preferences.

CertaPro Painters of Huntsville completed a project to update the look of a brick ranch house from the 1990s, enhancing its curb appeal.

Special Challenges: 

The lime-washing process is distinctive and different from painting. It involves wetting the brick before application and then scrubbing off areas as desired. This process needs to be done gradually, allowing the lime wash to fully soak into the brick. The customer envisioned just a mild distressing, which was achieved by hand within the drying window to meet their preferences.
