Lime Wash Interior Painting FAQ

What are the disadvantages of lime wash?

Lime wash requires proper surface preparation and is best applied by professionals. It adheres best to porous, mineral-based surfaces and may not bond well to previously painted or synthetic finishes without proper treatment

How much does it cost to apply lime wash?

The cost of lime wash depends on factors such as surface condition, room size, and the desired level of finish. For an accurate quote, we recommend scheduling a personalized estimate based on your specific project.

Why choose lime wash over traditional paint?

Lime wash is eco-friendly, breathable, and naturally antimicrobial. It creates a soft, matte finish with organic movement and character that evolves beautifully over time, qualities that standard paints simply can’t replicate.

Can lime wash be applied to any surface?

Lime wash works best on porous surfaces such as plaster, brick, or raw drywall. If applied over previously painted or sealed surfaces, a mineral-based primer may be required to ensure proper adhesion and finish quality.

Just had our project finished by Paintzone and we couldn’t be happier with the results! We hired Paintzone to paint the interior of our home. They did an amazing job and were so easy to work with! We wanted to visually create a larger space and the team came with very thoughtful suggestions. Dorian and Andrei are detail-oriented and don’t take any shortcuts. They deliver excellent results in a timely manner, are responsive to calls, and extremely friendly. Great customer service! We will definitely work with them again on future exterior projects and recommend them to friends and family!

Paintzone is reliable, 2022 summer, they painted my house (siding, deck, door). Upon interviewing more than 10 painting companies, (the siding material was not good, so I made sure the painters understood my needs.) why I selected Paintzone, Audrei, and Darian have good attitudes, honest, and patience to communicate. They show responsible, good knowledge, and caring in their work. The paintwork from start to finish, they came often and make sure things were alright. The lead painter Nestor did great work. There were a few areas that needed fixing, they kept the promises to fix them well and at no charge. I appreciated them, good work and excellent service.

The first time we used Paintzone, they helped us by painting on the interior of our house. The work was fantastic, and their attention to detail was top notch. Last month we had them completely repaint the exterior of our home; the house was built 6 years ago, but we were never fully satisfied with the less-than-perfect exterior paintjob or paint quality that the builder used. Paintzone did a fantastic job on our exterior and COMPLETELY changed our impressions of our home exterior paint quality.

David

Paint zone recently helped us remodel our powder bathroom and second floor bathroom and I cannot recommend them enough. They took our beat up cabinets and competently transformed them resurfacing them and getting rid of any blemishes and they looked better than new afterwards. They have incredible attention to detail and are very responsive. The only problem is they did such a good job that now we want to have them help paint even more of our house!

Erica

Andrei and Dorin are astute professionals. They communicated clearly throughout the process from the initial estimate through the final walk through. After moving lights on a large ceiling, we worked with Andrei and Dorin to patch holes and blend new paint with the existing color. The finished product is fantastic. While at our home, they also painted interior walls, carefully prepping our home and caring for our floors and furniture. Finally they applied a special finish (Roman Clay) to a feature wall and like everything else, exceeded our expectations with their skill and careful attention to the smallest details
