The symmetry of this house is very aesthetically pleasing

the brick looked good to start with

Wow this is the first video where I can’t figure out if I like the before or after better! The front of your house is adorable. Your stairs, windows and front door compliment both brick colors. Just beautiful!

Thank you so much 🤗 We painted this for a lovely young couple who wanted a slight change with a more uniformed look which is why the color shift wasn’t as drastic. We love how it turned out, too!

I love this! And this video was actually really fun to watch, great commentary! :) I'm considering doing this to my brick house but I don't want such a stark white finish. If I dilute the limewash more than 1:1, will it give me a more translucent finish? Thanks!

Was gonna use a sprayer but your comment that each brick will still HAVE to be touched steers me away from that. Thanks. Looks great

We have used a sprayer many times, but that extra element of back brushing truly makes the finish the prettiest in our opinion. Otherwise, it will look like paint is sitting on top of the brick rather than being calcified to the brick.

@@yourhomerenewed thanks for that tip. Live in Nashville. Went to several Big Box stores in 15 mi area. Most paint desks have NEVER heard of Limewash, white wash, German schmear. Big box desks did not even know they carried limewash and had to pull pictures up on the internet to show them. Around here, you either leave the brick or paint it. Called 4 contractors for estimates. We have a 2.5 story house. Very high. To do was $12k-15k and none had ever done before. "Just not done around here." was what they said. So we will do ourselves.

Couldn't you achieve this same technique with just white paint and then go back with the water hose? What's the upside of the "limewash" mortar versus just doing the same thing with diluting white paint?

Do you have to "distress" it? I'm wanting to have a solid color.
@yourhomerenewed4 ай бұрын
You don't have to distress it, but it is formulated to patina over time. If you are wanting a permanent finish - try @romabio Masonry Flat.

You could have used potassium silicate stains that we and other brands cover. You could have added the darker colors after. Without impregnation, the lime will fade over time, it’s good you used the shield. But potassium silicate will last much longer. Good luck, at least you didn’t use latex,acrylic or elastomeric paint, so kudos on that front
@jjay37234 ай бұрын
where do you get that from and is it the same look as limewash? does it let the brick breath?
@yourhomerenewed3 ай бұрын
Yes - those elastomeric properties are the worst for allowing the brick to breathe! We'll have to check out your stains - that sounds super interesting! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Hello, looks great, I have a Graco Magnum X7 sprayer, would that handle limewash?
@yourhomerenewed21 күн бұрын
If it's an airless sprayer with a large enough tip, that should work. Our suggestion is to remove the filters and use a 519 or 521 size spray tip. Good luck with your project and thanks for reaching out!
@rgriffith64762 ай бұрын
instead of emulating years of water for the 'distressed' look, cant you just actually let that happen naturally? How long does it generally take for a limewashed building to actually develop this 'patina'? I imagine that all the old 1900's colonials in my area that have this distressed limewash look were originally just white...
@yourhomerenewed21 күн бұрын
That's a great question and we actually did that for our own home. However, the patina process takes a long time. After 5 years, our almost solid limewash looked the same and we ended up distressing it using a pressure washer. This speaks to the quality of the product, but keep in mind that that natural process may take longer than expected.

Does this still allow the brick to rain porous?
@remas69912 ай бұрын
According to the product description, limewashing allows the brick to breathe. Unlike painting the brick which can trap moisture and cause mold to grow.
@yourhomerenewed21 күн бұрын
Yes! This is why we chose Romabio products to begin with. We were worried that our brick wouldn't breathe. You're applying crushed limestone which soaks into the brick becoming a part of the surface allowing the porosity to remain the same. Hope that helps!

To make it truly DIY making limewash is easy. I tried to purchase this from home depot and the container broke during delivery. Limewash can be made by mixing regular hydrated lime water and salt. Lime/water mixed at 20/80% and pay $20 instead of 300...😂
@yourhomerenewed21 күн бұрын
We looked into that years ago, and then learned that the formulation of Romabio's product has been passed down for generations so we trusted the authenticity of their Limewash.
