Lime wash is experiencing a renaissance in Santa Ynez 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 the Santa Ynez Valley, Refugio Road, and wine country estates have transformed Santa Ynez's ranch-style and wine country estate architecture with a finish that looks like it has been there for centuries. Lime wash is particularly well-suited to Santa Ynez'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.
Santa Ynez Valley's agricultural buildings — barns, equipment storage, fencing — require durable coatings that withstand dust, moisture, and UV exposure. We use agricultural-grade products for these applications.
Santa Ynez's small but charming downtown along Sagunto Street features Western-themed storefronts and restaurants. We paint these commercial properties with colors and finishes that complement the valley's character.
Santa Ynez Valley's world-class wineries demand premium finishes for their tasting rooms and estate buildings. We've painted multiple winery properties, understanding the aesthetic standards of the wine industry.
We offer a full range of low-VOC and zero-VOC paints for clients who prioritize indoor air quality, have young children, or are pursuing LEED or green building certifications.
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 crews protect your floors, furniture, and landscaping with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. At the end of every day we clean up — and at the end of the project your property looks better than when we arrived.
