Get More Than Just Curb Appeal with Romabio Italian Mineral Paints

Aug12023

For the last few years, we have been learning the art of applying lime wash and masonry paint to exterior brick homes and interior porches and fireplaces. Our professional painters have become skilled in the application of these specialty products and our customers have been thrilled at the way their homes look once the transformation has taken place.

We utilize the Italian mineral paints produced by a company called Romabio.

What is Romabio Paints?

Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Atlanta, GA, Romabio has been on a mission to change the way the world makes paint. From the beauty of Classico Limewash to the durability and performance of their Masonry Paints, to authentic Italian Plasters, Romabio designs elegantly luminous products with beauty like no other, all while educating consumers on the benefits of choosing the correct product for the surface.

Their name, Romabio, is pronounced in two parts: Roma for Roma, Italy, and Bio for biological or organic and natural. Romabio products are crafted and designed in Italy, inspired by ancient traditions but formulated for everyday use.

Romabio cares about creating safe, durable, high-quality products, and they consciously consider the impact of all the components of what they create, distribute, and dispose. Their philosophy is to offer the highest quality products that will benefit people and the planet, and Romabio aspires to treat our customers and their employees with the utmost respect. We share those values at My Three Sons Professional Painting.

Why did My Three Sons choose to work with Romabio and use their products?

We developed a good working relationship with the Romabio manufacturer and sales team over the past several years as we have been using and learning about their products and the correct application techniques for them. We love working with these durable, toxin-free, environmentally sustainable products, the beautiful effects we create with them, and how pleased our customers are.

Some features of these durable and high-performing paints:

Breathability: It’s micro-crystalline structure allows air and moisture vapor to permeate through the surface into the substrate, and provides provide up to 95% permeability.
Luminosity & Color: Because of the high mineral content, the color refraction ceases. Their color palates are more vibrant and beautiful providing more depth and light.
Durability: With a micro-crystalline bond, the coating is more durable, which means less frequent applications (saving time and money).
Mold Resistance: The high mineral content also provides a natural, high alkalinity which is resistant to mold & fungal growth.
Odorless & Toxin Free: Their paints do not contain solvents and have no toxic emissions, as opposed to many acrylic paints on the market.
Fire-Resistance: Their paint is non-combustible and therefore provides excellent resistance to fire.
Sustainability: Potassium silicate is the primary binder in the mineral paint, which is a natural, raw material.

Romabio’s slogan of “Ancient Technologies Changed for the Modern World” is because mineral-based paints have been around for centuries and are widely used in Europe and Asia. Their paint formulator in Italy has been using mineral, potassium silicate technologies for more than 40 years.

The Romabio Difference

How did My Three Sons become the only certified Romabio professional in the Greater Lexington Area?

We noticed on the Romabio website that they recommend certain professional applicators in different markets. We called to find out what it took to be a recommended professional. They had us submit pictures of our completed projects and customer satisfaction surveys to determine if our work met their quality standards and our customers affirmed that. We passed their qualifying analysis and they not only list us on their site as their certified applicator of lime wash for the Greater Lexington Area but they refer customers to us when someone writes in to their company on their website or calls them to ask who does this work in our area. We are thrilled to have earned the distinction of lime wash and masonry paint experts. See just a few samples of our work below.

“My Three Sons painted the entire exterior of our home and my wife and I cannot be happier with the way the job was done and the results of the work. We have never lived in a painted brick home but Keith, Victor and the crew walked us along to make the bold decision to do so. Our home’s curb appeal increased exponentially. From the proposal stage to the finished product, the work was done in the most professional manner possible. We would highly recommend My Three Sons.” – Evan M., 5 Star Google Review

“Keith and Carlos rebuilt a screened porch and deck that had been poorly constructed initially. Their product and craft was as described and they communicated well. I was much happier with the end result. Since completion there have been some minor issues that needed attention. Keith has communicated immediately and Carlos has fixed in a timely manner. They can be relied upon to follow thorough with their guarantee. I would not hesitate to use them again for further projects.” – Amanda S., 5 Star Google Review

“Keith Zafren and his company, My Three Sons Professional Painting, is a first class experience from start to finish. From his concise and professional initial proposal, to his impeccable attention to detail, he transformed our office space. I am very grateful that I hired the best. The lines are crisp, the colors are fantastic, and there is seriously not one mistake. I have never experienced a more professional or competent contractor. I will never hire anyone else again.“

Dr. Friesen, Creator: How Dogs Help Kids

“My Three Sons did an amazing transformation in both our kitchen and entrance hallway. The professional paint job on our oak kitchen cabinets to a more current gray was a major factor in selling our home so quickly when the time came. In addition to transforming our kitchen cabinets, they did a super job on painting the kitchen walls and completely updating our entrance hallway. Would highly recommend, great crew.“

Dora DelgadoLexington KY

“My Three Sons Painting finished painting my dining room and two rooms of trim repair and repaint today, and I couldn’t be happier! Tony and Justin came in with masks on to keep me safe, covers to keep my floors and furniture safe, and then they worked their magic. They were at my house for two days and started both by letting me know what they planned to do that day, and asked if I had questions or changes. They ended each day by letting me know exactly what they had completed, and asked if I had questions or changes. They were friendly, thorough, and went the extra mile to make sure I was pleased with their work. I may not ever DIY with painting anymore, it makes such a difference when a professional does it!”

Gail BurgeLexington KY

“Keith and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a two story entryway and hallway painted by them, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations. It ended up turning out so beautifully, I asked them to do another room! They were able to get it done the next day which i greatly appreciated. The men who did the painting even fixed mistakes on the ceiling that they did not make, which speaks to the pride they take in their work. On top of doing a beautiul job, I also felt comfortable with them in my home. They were kind, respectful, great with my pets (two large dogs), and very clean. Each day they left my house cleaner than how they found it. I also changed my mind on the paint color the morning that they were due to start, something which understandably could have been very frustrating, but Keith was extremely accommodating. He gave me an honest opinion when asked for and called his contact at the paint store to have the colors adjusted quickly so the job could start on time. I will be using them in the future and recommend them to anyone who asks. My experience with My Three Sons Painting was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a contractor, I feel blessed to have found them!”

“Mr. Jean and his team were excellent. Professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail was exemplary. Having been involved in the construction business for 30 yrs. I know a top tier organization when I see one. Hire this company and you will be extremely pleased and satisfied for years to come.” – G. Bolin, 5 Star Google Review

“We wholeheartedly recommend My Three Sons painting. Everyone, from the estimators to the painters, was always on time and very professional. Roger and his team did a fabulous job getting our almost 30-years-old drywall to look new again by repairing nail pops and seams. Then they came back after the carpenter had installed trim and spray painted a 2-story foyer, hallways, and family room. They also painted ceilings and an exterior door. The communication all along the way was terrific, and change orders were accommodated and done quickly and efficiently. We could not be more pleased with the results and will definitely call them again for all our drywall and painting needs.” – Erin M., 5 Star Google Review

Erin McMahonGoogle Review

‘Keith is hands-down the best contractor I’ve ever worked with. He’s prompt, communicates exceptionally well, very courteous and service oriented. His company motto is “Your Satisfaction is our Motivation”, which is exactly how they operate. From my first call for an estimate through the final walkthrough after completion, Keith and his crew were top notch; on schedule every day, worked late as needed, and accommodated changes. I highly recommend them, and will call upon Keith for our future painting needs.“

I just had four rooms painted by My Three Sons and they did an incredible job. Quick, neat, careful, well organized, conscientious, polite, always on time, and they did a beautiful job. I've never had a better experience with painters and have never had a project look so good. Travis, the crew leader, was always professional and a real pleasure to work with, the kind of person I was happy to trust with my home. Though they didn't submit the lowest bid, their price was very fair and very competitive and their thoroughness in assessing the job and preparing their estimate was impressive, head and shoulders above any of the others I called. It made it easy to choose them for the job. Keith, the owner, even helped pick out the colors.

We are so pleased with the work performed by My Three Sons Professional Painting. They painted the entire interior of our home and transformed our home. Travis and his crew were such a pleasure to have around, worked really hard, and cleaned up after themselves at the end of every work day. They certainly cared about doing a good job for us, and it was reflected in the finished product. During the middle of the project, we went out of town for a week. We felt very safe leaving them in our home knowing that they could be trusted with the keys to our home and that they would not cut corners on the job while we were away. Keith was so great to work with and followed up on every question or concern we had. We are happy that we chose My Three Sons Painting to do our job and will certainly call on them for any future painting projects we might have.

My Three Sons Painting never lets us down. We recently had our kitchen cabinets redone. They took so much time preparing them before painting and it shows. They turned out beautiful!! This was not the first time we have hired My Three Sons Painting and it definitely won't be the last!

I found My Three Sons online. They painted a door and frame, patched and painted a wall, and sanded, primed, and painted an unfinished fireplace mantel. Keith, the owner, was amazing. He was always on time, detailed with his assessment of the project, explained everything thoroughly, and was in contact with me regularly throughout the process. Best of all, Keith was able to schedule me in for the NEXT DAY - a SATURDAY since my project was fairly small and he had an employee willing to work a weekend. Keith came over the day painting began and went over the to-do list with the painter personally. He brought all of the supplies needed and checked in with me each day to make sure I was satisfied with the work. If I contacted him with a question, I heard back from him within minutes. You couldn't ask for a nicer, more professional guy. I felt like he genuinely cared that I was not only happy with the work, but the entire experience. I also felt that they made my time and schedule a priority. Ben, the painter who did the work was great as well. He showed up when he said he would, worked efficiently, was very neat, and was very courteous and polite. He did a wonderful job. Based on the above, I really have no reason to look for another painting company. I trust My Three Sons and plan to use them for all of our painting needs in the future.

My Three Sons Professional Painting came highly recommended to me by several neighbors and friends. The bid was accurate, the work was done as soon as my other contractors finished the exterior construction, and the painters were professional, efficient and kind. Keith and his whole crew were a pleasure to work with. My entire house looks just wonderful and I get great comments all the time from neighbors about what a nice job they did! I would highly recommend My Three Sons Professional Painting for interior or exterior painting on your home.

We originally obtained three bids to paint the interior of our house. Unfortunately, we elected to go with a local franchise of a national company that was less expensive. The online reviews were positive and a friend had used them with good results. This turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes we have made. Be aware that reviews may be crew-specific. Some of the individuals sent to paint our home were careless and borderline incompetent. We had to clean for about two hours each night after they left and the end result was much worse than if I had done the job myself. We then contacted Keith at My Three Sons to come in and paint the woodwork. I cannot express the difference between the two companies. Geyner and Christopher have cared for our home like it was their own. The workmanship is fantastic. These gentlemen are professionals and take pride in their craft; totally unlike our previous experience. I give My Three Sons my highest recommendation. Keith is a man of integrity and stands behind his company’s work. We will not waste our time with bids for our next painting job. I will consider no one else.

I wanted to commend My Three Sons Professional Painting Services (Painters in Lexington) for the job they did on the outside of my house. I hated the color of the brick and had tried to remedy by having someone else dye the brick; it looked like he had put graffiti on my house. Keith, the owner, did some research on what I could do to fix it. We decided on a lime wash paint and it looks great. I have had several compliments within just a few days. I will use them for any painting needs in the future as well

My Three Sons Professional Painting did excellent work at our home. We had our master bathroom, front entry and door, and our garage door painted.

I hired My Three Sons to remove the textured ceilings in a new home I purchased in December 2020. The job was sizable, requiring the removal of approximately 3400 square feet of textured surface. Tony, our project manager, successfully finished the job over a relatively short period with great care and attention to detail. Looking at our ceilings now, you would never know they were once textured--they are perfectly smooth, pristine, and look original to the house. Moreover, the removal of the texture brightened the light in our home significantly and modernized the overall look immediately. I can't say enough about how professional My Three Sons was or what a great job they did. Amongst all the many, large-scale projects we tackled in our new home, refinishing the ceilings resulted in one of our favorite finished products and it is something we are so glad we did with My Three Sons.

We could not be happier with the quality of the work. The ceilings went from textured to absolutely flawless and smooth. The work was done in a very professional manner. There was virtually no dust and extra care was taken to protect floors and furnishings. They were prompt and the work was completed in an amazing timeline. We highly recommend My Three Sons to smooth out textured ceilings and also paint.Ava and Ken Taylor

Painters in Lexington - My Three Sons Professional Painting Services. We hired this company to stain our deck. It’s a new deck that we spent a lot of time (and $$) to build, so we wanted the initial staining to be done well to protect our investment. We got numerous bids and while My Three Sons was not the lowest price, they were an easy choice for our project. The initial estimate process was very professional, knowledgeable, and plan clearly explained. Follow-up calls were not done in an annoying/pestering way. When it was time to move forward, the communication moved to a different person, but the transition was smooth with no drop in customer service. The project started exactly when promised, the crew on-site was professional, stayed busy, and communicated very clearly when they were leaving both days for what to expect next. We’ve had our share of bad experiences with contractors not showing, communicating, poor quality, etc. My Three Sons has been the best contractor experience that we have ever had. When we’re ready for our next painting/staining project, we’ll definitely return to this company!

We had our house limewashed and we couldn’t be happier with the results. My Three Sons painting knew exactly what we were looking for. If you are looking for Lexington painters contact them. They were so helpful and easy to work with. We had a certain look we wanted and they were glad to repaint and rewash as much as needed to get the exact finished product.
