How much does it cost to have limewash paint applied professionally?
You love the soft, nuanced effect of limewash paint , but you're wondering: how much does a professional applicator cost for this type of paint ? Whether you're in the middle of a renovation project or simply curious to add a Mediterranean touch to your walls, here's what you need to know about the prices for applying limewash paint in Quebec.
How much does it cost to have limewash paint professionally applied?
The price to have limewash paint applied by a professional generally varies between:
$9 to $14/sq ft
Depending on various factors:
- The condition of your walls (new walls vs. already painted walls)
- Ceiling height and access to the construction site
- The type of effect sought (artistic, ancestral, nuanced, textured)
- The complexity of the rooms (straight vs. curved walls, stairs, architectural details)
At Domeco , the application is always done by hand , using an artisanal method, to guarantee a unique result that matches your type of property .
Does limewash paint cover well?
Lime paint requires at least two coats to reveal its full depth. Sometimes three, if the color is very pale or if the surface is absorbent.
- Choosing the right dilution according to the material
- Strategic application order (vertical, horizontal or crossed)
- Mastery of natural pigments
💡 Tip: Improper application may leave streaks or uneven color.
Why use a professional applicator?
Limewash paint doesn't apply like conventional paint . It's alive, capricious... and that's what makes it beautiful.
A professional knows:
- Prepare the surface properly
- Respect the drying times
- Create subtle effects without smudging
- Use harmonious ancestral methods

What if you want to repaint over it in a few years?
Although limewash paint is designed to last, you may be wondering: what if, in 10 years, I want to change?
The answer: yes, it is possible to repaint over it , but this requires suitable preparation. Since lime paint is mineral and porous, you will need:
- Clean the walls and remove surface dust
- Apply a primer suitable for the new paint chosen
- Sand lightly if the texture is too pronounced
⚠️ But repainting is not the intention behind a lime finish.
