"Chad painted the exterior of my house, including brick that had never been painted. His preparation, multi-step sealing/painting process, and overall quality of work were great. He regularly kept in touch on matters that required discussion, signaling a strong customer orientation. The one thing he could have done better was controlling paint chips that ended up in a planting bed. I am quite happy with his work and will use him again when I need painting done."

"There aren’t enough words to say how great 360 Painting of Cincinnati does their work. It is the end of the outdoor painting season & Eduardo came the day I called for a quote on our trim. He worked it into his schedule & work was completed in time. From meeting Eduardo for the quote to his crew, everyone was thorough & polite. The day of painting there was a supervisor on site, working with the crew. On the day of painting Eduardo found a hole in a soffit & with our approval repaired, along with some additional changes we requested. Once work was completed, Eduardo came by & inspected to be sure all work was done & cleanup was completed to our satisfaction. Should we need painting inside we will call Eduardo. We highly recommend 360 Painting of Cincinnati."

"This company is the absolute best. I will use them again as needed and refer them to everyone I know. Mike, the owner is an artist with a roller. He runs his company the way it's supposed to be. He is experienced, neat, respectful and kind. Did I mention an excellent painter? Hire him and I guarantee you will not be disappointed in any way. It is hard to find a painter that is a perfectionist. I'm grateful that I did."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

Limewash and whitewash are two techniques used to give brick a light, matte finish, but they differ in composition, application, and permanence. The best choice depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific surface.

Composition

  • Limewash: A natural and environmentally friendly option made from limestone, water, and sometimes pigments. It is breathable and soaks into porous surfaces like brick.

  • Whitewash: Traditionally made from lime, water, chalk, and binders, but a similar look can be achieved with watered-down white paint. It is paint-based and sits on top of the surface.

Appearance and Finish

  • Limewash: Provides a natural, textured appearance that allows the brick's character to show through. It offers a more traditional finish.

  • Whitewash: Creates a softer, more opaque finish, often used for a rustic or shabby-chic style.

Application and Permanence

  • Limewash: Is semi-permanent and can be removed, making it a good choice if you might want to change the look in the future. It requires more skill to apply and cannot be used on previously painted brick.

  • Whitewash: Is a more permanent solution. It is more forgiving to apply and can be used on painted brick. However, because it sits on the surface, it can trap moisture.

Ultimately, if you want a breathable, natural, and reversible finish for unpainted brick, limewash is a great option. If you need a more permanent, opaque coating that can be applied over painted surfaces, whitewash is the better choice. Whitewashing may also be more economical, costing approximately $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
