Limewash is not regular paint, and applying it is not regular painting. It’s a mineral finish made from slaked limestone that gets brushed on wet-on-wet in thin, overlapping coats. Each pass builds a different concentration of pigment, which is what gives limewash walls that soft, matte depth that shifts with the light throughout the day. The effect is closer to old European plaster than anything you’d get out of a roller and a can of latex.
Getting that effect right takes specific training. If your timing between coats is off, you get hard lines. Inconsistent brush pressure shows up as streaks. Wrong primer on the wrong wall and the whole thing peels in a few months. Most painting crews have never touched this stuff — they know rollers, they know cutting in, they know acrylic. Limewash is a different skill set entirely, and we’ve put in the work to learn it properly. We’ve trained on application methods for brands like Bauwerk Colour, Portola Paints, Color Atelier, Romabio, and Vasari, and we’ve tested primer systems across the range of wall conditions you find in NYC apartments and commercial spaces. When we show up to do a limewash job, we’re not figuring it out as we go.
📍 Residential Apartment, SoHo
We transformed this SoHo apartment with a full refresh - from patching and repainting exposed brick walls to refinishing shelves, closets, and doors. The entryway now features matte black walls with high-gloss trim, while the bathroom shines with a mirror-like finish. Every detail restored and elevated.

📍 Residential Apartment, Upper West Side
We gave this apartment a soft, elegant refresh with Benjamin Moore’s French Macaroon in the kitchen, great room, and hallways. The nursery went playful in pink, the master bedroom serene in sage, and moisture-prone areas like the bath and kitchen got a satin coat for a clean, lasting finish.

📍 Zara Popup, Financial District
For the @zara pop-up event, we turned a blank white space into a bold red experience, from elevator banks to walls to fabricated surfaces. It took 4-5 coats to get the color right, and just as many to restore it after the event wrapped. Precision, speed, and clean finishes all the way through.

Booking with us is a breeze – a simple call or online request is all it takes to set your limewash project in motion. Our streamlined scheduling process ensures a hassle-free experience, making it easy to transform your space at your convenience.
Limewash lets moisture pass through the wall instead of trapping it behind a film. In older NYC buildings where dampness is just part of life, that actually matters — it helps prevent the peeling and bubbling you get when moisture gets sealed behind conventional paint. The high pH also makes it naturally resistant to mold.
It’s non-toxic. The base is limestone and water, so there are no real VOC concerns. If you have kids or pets, or you just don’t want your apartment reeking of paint fumes for a week, limewash is a cleaner option from day one.
And it ages well. Standard paint chips and peels over time. Limewash develops a patina instead. Minor scuffs blend right in because the finish is already varied, which makes touch-ups way easier than trying to match a perfectly uniform wall color. You also don’t have to commit to an entire room — a single limewashed accent wall behind a bed or in a living room can do a lot on its own.
Limewash is one of those finishes where the gap between “done well” and “done badly” is obvious to anyone standing in the room. We take it seriously because the material demands it — from picking the right brand for your walls to nailing the timing between coats. Every decision in the process affects the final result, and we’d rather spend the extra time getting it right than rush through and hope for the best.
Limewash isn't something you learn from a product data sheet. We've spent time training on brand-specific application techniques — how Portola handles differently than Bauwerk, which primers actually bond to old plaster, how to manage drying time in a humid NYC apartment. That hands-on knowledge is the difference between a finish with real depth and one that looks like a bad faux treatment.
Limewash projects cost more than standard paint jobs — the materials are pricier and the application takes longer. We're upfront about that. Our estimates break down exactly what you're paying for so there are no surprises.
Same standards we bring to every project. Floor and furniture protection before we start, daily cleanup, and a crew that shows up on time and communicates throughout the job. Limewash application can be messy — the material is thinner than latex and spatters more easily — so proper containment matters even more than usual.
