Lime wash is experiencing a renaissance in Isla Vista as homeowners and designers rediscover its unique ability to create soft, aged, breathable surfaces that feel both timeless and contemporary. Danis Painting Co. applies traditional lime wash — made from slaked lime and natural pigments — using authentic layering techniques that build the characteristic translucent, mottled finish that synthetic lime wash paints cannot achieve. Our applications throughout UCSB-adjacent properties, Del Playa Drive, and Isla Vista neighborhoods have transformed Isla Vista's coastal residential and multi-family properties with a finish that looks like it has been there for centuries. Lime wash is particularly well-suited to Isla Vista's climate because it is fully breathable, allowing moisture to pass through without trapping it behind the surface — a critical advantage for stucco, brick, and masonry construction. Each application is unique: the natural variation in lime wash means no two walls are identical, giving every project an organic authenticity.

Why Danis Painting
Over 30 years of trusted craftsmanship — here is what sets us apart for your lime wash project.
Isla Vista's dense student housing stock requires painters who can deliver fast, cost-effective repaints between lease cycles. We repaint full apartments in a single day with durable, washable finishes.
Major Isla Vista property management companies rely on us for annual unit turns and building maintenance painting. Our volume pricing and rapid scheduling make us the most efficient choice for multi-unit portfolios.
We're not the cheapest bid in town — and we're not the most expensive. We price fairly for the quality of materials and labor we provide, and we never cut corners to win a job.
A paint job done right lasts 8–12 years. One done cheaply may need redoing in 3–4. We help you understand the total cost of ownership so you can make the best decision for your property.
Our track record on Google, Yelp, and Houzz reflects what our clients say: exceptional quality, professional crews, and a company that does exactly what it promises.
Every painter on our team is a long-term employee — not a day laborer. Our crews have worked together for years, which means consistent quality and a team that takes pride in the finished product.
