Transform Your Sherman Oaks Home with Exterior Painting Services

The main difference lies in texture and application. Limewash is a mineral-based paint applied with a brush, resulting in a matte, chalky finish with soft brushstrokes. Roman Clay, on the other hand, is a plaster finish applied with a putty knife or trowel. It creates a smooth, hard surface that feels velvety to the touch and mimics the look of natural stone or marble. If you prefer a “cloudy” but smooth aesthetic, Roman Clay is the better choice

While DIY limewash is possible, professional application ensures a flawless finish. The process requires specific techniques, like proper surface prep and layered application, to achieve the desired texture and durability. Hiring experts like VesaPainters guarantees stunning results without the mess or hassle.

Costs typically range from $5-8 per square foot, depending on the surface type, preparation needed, and project complexity. For an accurate estimate tailored to your space, we offer free consultations to discuss your needs and budget.

A fresh coat of paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to boost a property’s appeal — especially when preparing a home for rent in Los Angeles. Rental staging is all about making a space feel move-in ready and attractive to a wide range of tenants. Neutral, clean wall colors help potential renters envision themselves living in the space, while a well-maintained finish signals that the property is cared for and up to date.

At VesaPainters , we specialize in interior painting services tailored for real estate professionals, landlords, and homeowners looking to stage their properties for fast, successful rentals across LA — from Studio City and Sherman Oaks to Encino and beyond.

For rental staging, we recommend using modern, neutral tones like soft grays, warm whites, and light beiges. These shades work well in almost any space and appeal to the broadest audience. They also photograph beautifully — which helps your listing stand out online.

We’re happy to provide free color consultations to help you choose the perfect palette that enhances lighting, maximizes space perception, and gives your property that “freshly renovated” look.

Because it is a hand-applied art form, Roman Clay painting takes longer than standard roll-on painting. The process involves prepping the walls, applying a primer, and then hand-troweling at least two thin layers of plaster, with drying and light sanding between coats. For a standard room or a large Roman Clay accent wall, expect the project to take 2 to 4 days depending on the initial condition of your walls.
