Brick Lime Painting and Lime Washing Experts

Brick Lime Painting and Lime Washing

The Piedmont area of North Carolina is known for its clay soil which is the reason it is home to many of the largest brick companies in the United States. The various types of clay and different ways of mining and firing the clay give brick many different looks. Over time the look of the bare brick might date the exterior of your house and/or detract from its overall curb appeal and you want to make a change. Applying a coating to the brick can give it the updated look and feel that you are looking for. But you need to be very careful when it comes to coating brick.

Like all masonry surfaces, brick is meant to breathe in order for it to do its job correctly and for it to last. Because the purpose of standard architectural coatings is to protect the surface from the elements the process of priming and painting those surfaces with standard water based or oil based primers and paints seal the surface, not allowing them to breathe. Therefore, priming and painting brick, especially exterior brick can create issues with the performance of the primer/paint and the brick leading to bubbling, chipping, peeling, cracking, and spalling. By using the correct type of coating (mineral based) you can achieve the look you want without creating a potential long term and expensive maintenance and performance issue for the paint and the brick.

Fair pricing, timely in every aspect... communication and arrival times, color expert to help choose your perfect colors, meticulous neatness, extremely respectful of home, amazing work, and everyone was a pleasure to work with. I have pictures but they just don't do the work justice. Highly recommend without reservation.

    Used them for the first time, very happy! The person who gave us a quote was very thorough. They painted our deck in September and did a perfect job plus showed respect for our property. I like the way a project manager came the day before, we met with him and the painting team and then he came back after the job was done to inspect it and make sure we were fully satisfied before paying. In January they came and did interior painting and I was also great! There was a few areas in the bathroom we needed touched up and the project manager came the next day and took care of it for us. I’ve been very happy with the whole process and recommend them highly!

    Five star painting did two colors on the entire exterior of my house. Not only Did they do an exemplary job of painting, but they were very careful with our sidewalks plants and borders. They showed up on Time every day, and worked diligently, efficiently, and quietly. My wife and I would recommend them for any of your painting needs.

    When Is It Too Cold to Paint The Exterior of Your House? (And Ideal Conditions)

    Knowing the right temperature range for painting the exterior of your house is critical. If you start your project in temps outside this range, you risk premature paint failure and a tragic waste of time and money.

    How Long Can You Keep Paint Before It Goes Bad?

    We’ve all been there—a painting project doesn’t use up all the paint you bought, and now it’s time to hammer the lid back on and take it to the garage or basement storage area. That paint will go bad in two to fifteen years. That’s such a big range, so how do you determine when it’ll be spent? Examine the type of paint and storage conditions to estimate shelf life. We’ll walk you through it.

    How to Clean Your Painted Kitchen Cabinets

    Cleaning painted cabinets isn't just about wiping last night’s sauce splatter off. It's about removing the buildup that settles over time that stems from cooking, baking, and everyday handling of your painted kitchen cabinets. Safely removing this buildup can become more difficult, especially when harsher cleaning materials can damage the paint on your cabinets.
