Aurora Limewash is a referral website for owners of brick and stone homes in Aurora, Illinois and the towns around it. The site explains limewash and the finishes people compare it with, publishes typical prices, and connects callers with independent local contractors who do the work.
Who actually does the work
The contractors are independent local painting and masonry businesses. Each is responsible for its own licensing, insurance and workmanship. Before work starts, ask for proof of insurance, the product they plan to use, and a test patch on your own wall.
How limewash pricing works here
Limewash is priced by the square foot of masonry, then adjusted for coats, preparation and access. Around Aurora that typically means $4 to $8 a square foot for a premium mineral limewash, or $4,000 to $12,000 for an average brick exterior. A written price comes before any work, and the cost guide breaks it down.
