Consultation and Color Selection
Step 1
We look at how light moves through your specific home, since a hillside view home and a shaded flatland ranch house read Roman Clay very differently, and help you pick a tone that suits the room.
Roman Clay Painters in Burbank
Burbank is a city of two very different housing styles living side by side. Flat, tree lined streets full of post war ranch homes built for Lockheed and studio workers, and hillside streets climbing toward the Verdugo Mountains lined with contemporary builds and mid century view homes. VesaPainters brings hand troweled Roman Clay to both, from a warm accent wall in a 1950s Rancho district living room to a full interior finish in a newer hillside home. Many of our Burbank clients work in the entertainment industry next door and want interiors that feel as considered as the sets they work on, without looking staged.

Roman Clay Craftsmanship in Burbank
About VesaPainters
Burbank grew up around two industries. Aerospace, through the old Lockheed plant, filled the flatlands with modest, well built ranch and traditional homes in the 1940s and 1950s. Media and entertainment, through Warner Bros, Disney and NBCUniversal, shaped everything that came after, including a wave of hillside homes above Alameda Avenue and Sunset Canyon with wide windows built to take in the view toward the studios below.
Those two housing types call for different things from a wall finish. In the flatland homes, Roman Clay works as a way to bring texture and warmth into a straightforward mid century floor plan, often in a living room, entryway or primary bedroom. In the hillside homes, it tends to show up as a full interior treatment, since the architecture already leans toward clean, tactile surfaces and large uninterrupted walls where a hand troweled finish can really read.
A good number of our Burbank clients work in production, in front of or behind the camera, and want their home to feel put together without looking like a set. Roman Clay fits that brief well. It photographs beautifully for anyone doing interviews or content from home, and it holds up as a finish you actually live with day to day, not just something styled for a shoot.

Our Roman Clay Finishes for Burbank Homes
Portola Paints Roman Clay Application. We apply the authentic Portola Roman Clay formula across Burbank, from flatland ranch homes to hillside builds near the Verdugo Mountains, keeping the same traditional cloudy texture on every wall.
Roman Clay Accent Walls. In many Burbank homes, especially mid century layouts with open living and dining areas, a single Roman Clay accent wall does more for the room than repainting everything, and it works well behind a media wall or home office setup.
Roman Clay vs Limewash Consultation. With Burbank’s mix of bright hillside light and shaded flatland streets, the right finish depends heavily on the room. We walk you through Roman Clay against Limewash based on your home’s specific light and layout.
Smoothing Textured Walls. Many Burbank homes from the 1940s and 1950s still carry their original stucco or orange peel texture. We skim and prep those walls properly so Roman Clay goes on flat and bonds the way it should.
Custom Color and Texture Blending. Whether you want a finish that matches the quieter tones of a Rancho district home or something bolder for a modern hillside build, we mix color and texture to fit the room, not a fixed formula.
Eco-Friendly Wall Finishes. Our low VOC, earthen based Roman Clay and plaster options are a common request from Burbank clients who spend long hours on set and want their home to feel like a genuine break from that environment.

Our Roman Clay Process in Burbank
From Vision to Reality
Every Roman Clay project in Burbank follows the same six step process, adjusted slightly depending on whether we are working in a flatland home or a hillside property.
Scheduling and Site Protection
Step 2
We plan around your schedule, including tight production or travel calendars that come up often with Burbank clients, and fully protect floors, trim and furniture before work begins.
Surface Prep and Smoothing
Step 3
Many Burbank homes still have original stucco or textured walls from the 1940s and 1950s. We skim and level these surfaces before any Roman Clay goes on.
Priming for Plaster
Step 4
We apply a primer built for decorative plaster so it bonds cleanly and does not flash through, whether the wall is original plaster or newer drywall.
Hand Troweled Application
Step 5
Our artisans build the finish by hand in thin layers, creating the soft, cloudy texture that works equally well in a mid century flatland home or a clean walled hillside build.
Sealing and Final Inspection
Step 6
We seal where needed and walk the finished space with you, checking the wall in natural light before we consider the job done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The finish adapts well to both. We adjust color, texture and application to fit the home’s specific architectural style.
Yes. We work throughout Calabasas, including gated communities such as The Oaks and Mountain View Estates, as well as homes along Mulholland Highway and in Old Town Calabasas.
We are based in Van Nuys, right next to Encino, so we are able to visit quickly for consultations and keep a close eye on the project throughout.
Yes, with proper prep. Many Encino homes from the 1950s and 1960s have textured stucco, so we skim and level the surface first to get a clean, flat finish.
Limewash is a natural, mineral-based paint made from slaked lime and water, often with added pigments. Unlike regular paint, which sits on the surface, limewash penetrates porous materials like brick, plaster, or stucco, creating a breathable, textured finish with a soft, matte look. It’s eco-friendly, mold-resistant, and evolves over time for a unique, aged aesthetic.
It works especially well in that kind of space. Tall great rooms and wide walls give the texture room to read properly, which is common in Calabasas homes.
