Heritage homes in Port Hope

Port Hope has one of the best-preserved 19th century downtowns in Ontario and many heritage houses on its residential streets. These buildings have brick, stone and lime plaster walls. Limewash Paint and Venetian Plaster are traditional lime finishes that suit them, and both breathe so moisture can leave the wall.

Lime finishes for heritage walls

Modern acrylic paint can trap moisture in old masonry and plaster. Limewash is vapour-open, bonds with the wall and can be refreshed over the years without stripping. Matte Marmorino can even out a plaster wall while keeping a hand-made surface.

Bathrooms and kitchens

Many heritage owners keep the original character of the main rooms and modernise the bathroom and kitchen. Microcement gives a clean, modern bathroom with no grout lines. In showers it goes over a waterproofing membrane.

Shops and restaurants on Walton Street

Downtown businesses in older buildings use Limewash on brick and Microcement on floors and counters.

Planning from the GTA

Port Hope is about an hour east of Toronto. We plan the schedule to group coats and drying time, and confirm dates in the written quote.

Cost and timing in Port Hope

Heritage walls often need repairs to plaster or mortar before finishing, and we include these in the written quote. A Limewash room takes two or three days once the walls are ready. A Microcement bathroom takes one to two weeks including curing.
