Limewash Richmond VA Home Timelapse | Residential Exterior Painting

hjholtzandson.com to learn more about the limewash technique. In this video we show the dramatic transformation possible through an eco-friendly approach to updating a classic brick home -- limewash. Some people call it whitewash, but limwash is a specific technique used to create this timeless look.
Limewash is made from crushed limestone mixed with water to a consistency of putty. The material is aged, then thinned with more water. Pigments can be added, but the color palette is narrow: white and soft earth tones. When applied to brick, the wash is absorbed, providing a protective coating that breathes, so moisture isn’t trapped within the brick or mortar. Additionally, thanks to its mineral origins, limewash is a natural fungicide and repels insects.
Because limewash is organic, it will fade over time and may need to be reapplied after five years to maintain the original depth of color. Unlike paint, however, limewash won’t chip or peel, so wear isn’t obviously apparent.

just straight hydrated lime with nothing added? no pigment or anything added? trying to match up a house where only the garage has been rendered for some reason. wondering if I could lime the house, and then like over the render to make them match, or whether I'd need to add a pigment to the lime to make the house match the existing colour of the garage
