Luxury Roman Clay Finish NYC
If you prefer a smooth, stone-like texture, our Roman Clay finish offers an organic alternative to standard paint. Houm Painting and Wallpapering NYC applies this specialty coating to create a plaster-like feel that is both durable and elegant.
These textured paints are perfect for high-traffic NYC apartments where you want a designer look that adds significant value and character to your property.
Professional Limewash Painting Service NYC for Interiors
When you want more than a flat color, our Limewash painting service is the perfect solution for a soft, mottled look. We use specialized brushes and “wet-on-wet” techniques to ensure depth on walls that plays beautifully with light throughout the day. A calm flow of movement. Ideal elegance for a bedroom or a living room.
Expert Limewash, Wall Repair, and Surface Prep
A great finish starts with a perfect surface, which is why we perform comprehensive wall repair and limewash prep before every project. Houm Painting and Wallpapering NYC fixes cracks, holes, uneven textures, and non-binding surfaces.
Proper prep work and a limewash primer coat prevents the mineral paint from drying too quickly or unevenly, ensuring the final patina.
Faux Limewash Painting and Specialty Finishes
For those who want the look of lime wash on a faster timeline, we provide faux limewash. Houm Painting and Wallpapering NYC can replicate the soft, cloudy appearance of mineral paint on surfaces that haven’t been primed for traditional limewash.
We also offer decorative wall options like thin brick walls and custom murals to complement a new textured finish. This flexibility allows us to bring the traditional charm to any NYC interior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy materials ahead of time?
We recommend not purchasing materials or supplies until you’re able to speak with your service provider. Too much is one problem, too little is another, wrong type is a third.
Does the space need to be cleaned and emptied?
As much as possible certainly saves time, but we understand not having that time and we applaud delegation to appropriate parties. As part of our project preparation we can organize, pack and work around personal belongings. We protect all floors, furniture, & objects. We clean walls of dust and oil. We are Respectful, Considerate, Cautious, and Safe.
What kind of prep do the walls need?
NYC walls get beat up. Moisture and extreme temperatures age wall finishes. Sometimes the character of an older building can crack: Peeling Paint, Wall Scuffs, Cracked Plaster, Drywall Holes, Uneven Textures, Door Frames, Wood Moulding.

Several factors are at play, the current condition and quality of existing materials determine the preparation required. Extreme temperatures can present unique challenges for longevity. Large spaces intuitively take more time, but smaller, tight spaces can impede fast work and often require more attention to detail.

Shouldn’t I just Do It Myself?
We LOVE DIY. We really, really, TRULY LOVE DIY.
In New York City, Efficiency-in-Execution is King. We suggest considering putting your time somewhere else. There are more important projects that need it. It’s not frustrating work for us, it shouldn’t be for you either. We really like what we do, and we know you will also. Let us make an environment for Other Projects to blossom.
Can any painter do limewash?
No, limewash requires specific techniques and knowledge.
How long does limewash last?
Limewash will last decades as it absorbs into the wall and will never peel or flake. Houm Painting and Wallpapering NYC brings longevity to your walls with expert wall repair before the first coat is applied.
Is it cheaper to limewash or paint brick?
Limewash is often more affordable for brick as it doesn’t require the same heavy primers as latex and allows the brick to breathe.
Is limewash high maintenance?
It is actually low maintenance because it doesn’t peel or flake. It is hard to touch up, but a perfect initial application helps immensely.
