Brick Limewash Growing in Popularity

Over the past few months, more and more of our customers have been asking for Limewash. We were interested to find out that this practice dates back centuries. The original purpose of the lime solution was to protect aging brick from the damage of the sun and other elements.

In the San Antonio-Austin Metro Area, there are plenty of homes and business properties exposed to sun damage on a regular basis. With the hot Texas sun bearing down on you every day, your home’s exterior is left vulnerable to fading. To counteract sun damage and keep your home clean, you need the brick limewashing services here at CertaPro Painters of NE San Antonio.

While most people today are looking more for the aesthetics, limewashing still provides these benefits. Although whitewashing and limewashing are often used interchangeably, limewashing specifically refers to the use of lime in the process. Some whitewashing techniques do not use lime. For example, a popular alternative to limewashing is to apply watered-down paint in order to create a translucent coat. Here at CertaPro Painters, we are committed to the highest quality of standards and are happy to provide brick painting and limewashing services to our community along the I-35 corridor.

Limewashing is all natural and safe for the environment! Our crews really enjoy using their creative talents to achieve the “distressed” look below. By providing quality limewashing services, we hope to safeguard homes in San Marcos, Cibolo, & beyond by protecting against sun damage. Interested? Set up an appointment to find out more!
