Our signature finish

Lime wash that only looks better with age.

Soft, breathable, old world character for fireplaces, brick, and exteriors. Real mineral lime wash bonds into the surface, so it will not peel or chip the way paint does.

Lime wash is not paint. Paint sits on top of a surface as a plastic film, and when that film fails it cracks and peels. Real mineral lime wash soaks into masonry and bonds with it, creating a soft, matte, living finish that breathes and mellows over time instead of flaking off.

That is exactly why it is our signature finish. On a brick fireplace, a stone surround, or an exterior, lime wash gives you the kind of quiet, high end character that designers charge a fortune for, and it wears in gracefully rather than wearing out.

Where lime wash shines

  • Brick and stone fireplaces, the most requested lime wash project
  • Interior brick and masonry accent walls
  • Exterior brick and stucco for old world curb appeal
  • A breathable finish that will not trap moisture or peel
  • A soft, matte, hand finished look with natural variation
  • A finish that ages into the home rather than dating it

The finish that makes a valley home feel custom.

Drive through the foothill neighborhoods of Alpine or Highland and you will see lime wash on the high end custom homes. The whole idea behind Godspeed is that you should not have to live on the mountain to have that finish. A lime wash fireplace can transform an ordinary Vineyard or Orem living room into the showpiece of the house.

We will walk your space, look at the actual material, and tell you honestly whether lime wash is the right call before you commit. It is a mineral finish, not a wipeable coating, so we make sure it fits how you actually live before we start.

I hired them to do a paint job on the interior of my home. I wanted my half bathroom to have a lime wash look. Godspeed services was responsive, professional, and got the job done quickly. The communication was great, and the end product was what we were asking for which can be hard sometimes to find. I highly recommend them for your painting jobs around the house!

Questions about lime wash

No, and that is the whole point. Real mineral lime wash bonds into the masonry and is breathable, so it does not form a plastic film that can crack and peel. It ages and softens over time rather than failing.
It depends on the surface. Lime wash bonds best with raw, porous masonry. If your brick is already sealed or painted, we will assess it and tell you honestly what is possible, which may involve a different approach to get the look you want.
Lime wash is a mineral finish, not a wipeable plastic coating, so it behaves differently than paint. We will walk your space, look at how the room gets used, and tell you honestly whether lime wash or a different finish is the better call for a busy family home. No overselling.
Yes. Exterior brick and stucco are classic lime wash surfaces, and the breathable, aging finish gives a home real old world curb appeal that holds up to the elements.
