Serving Sugar Land, Houston, Missouri City, and surrounding areas, our experienced team ensures every project is completed with meticulous care, the right products, and techniques that make your brick a lasting centerpiece.

Why Choose Limewashing for Your Brick Fireplace?

Limewashing is an environmentally friendly, mineral-based technique that has been used since Roman times. Unlike standard latex paint, limewash bonds with the brick, maintaining its natural porosity while providing a soft, matte look. Popular for its timeless aesthetic, limewashing offers:

• A natural, breathable finish

• The ability to distress for a custom aged look

• Easy removal on exterior applications (before full cure)

• Long-lasting durability that doesn’t chip or peel

Our 5-Step Limewashing Process

Step 1: Clean & Prep the Surface
We start by scrubbing the brick with a wire brush and soapy water. For stubborn stains, we use trisodium phosphate. Skipping this step risks imperfections showing through the final finish.

Step 2: Mix & Apply in Stages
We dilute the limewash—like Romabio’s Avorio White—in a 1:2 ratio with water, spray the brick lightly with water, and apply with heavy nap rollers followed by a masonry brush for full coverage.

Step 3: Achieve the Desired Look
Working in stages allows us to distress the surface using a damp cloth, softening the finish for a lived-in charm. This step is optional if you prefer a solid look.

Step 4: Allow to Cure
We let the surface cure for about six hours before additional distressing, with full curing in 48 hours. Once cured, limewash becomes as durable as the brick itself.

Step 5: Enjoy Your Updated Fireplace
Your fireplace transforms into a beautiful focal point, whether you choose a modern clean look or a rustic aged style.
