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 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

“First time homeowner who was looking for painters in Georgetown in order to paint the interior of the new house. It was a little tricky because the previous owners had left the walls in bad shape, bad paint cover up jobs, loose baseboards, various holes in the walls, etc, so I was concerned about finding a painter who could also repair the damage at the same time without being taken advantage of. Three Sons looked like they had what I needed. The quote was on upper end of my scale, but each room was totally broken down individually so you knew exactly what you were going to get for each price point, which was super clear and helpful. My experience with the actual painting was fantastic. Team leader Roger and his team were great. Every day he went through the house with me, explaining what they were going to do that day and what they had done. The attention he had to detail was appreciated, he went back over areas if needed, spent a lot of time repairing holes and damage and the walls now look brand new. I don’t even want to hang pictures now they look so nice! Roger was very easy to talk to and there was no feeling uncomfortable about asking for a tiny drop or minuscule bubble to get fixed. Everything was done in an orderly and professional fashion, cleaned up daily, on time every morning, and he really made this process so much easier and less stressful then I expected (as he said he would!) Would definitely use them again for next project no question based on this experience.” – Caroline V., 5 Star Google Review

“We did a complete remodel of our home and worked with a bunch of contractors and My Three Sons Painting was by far and away the best. The communication was flawless and their work was amazing. They stand behind their work. Recently we had some issue with the paint on the bricks due to moisture and Keith came out and covered it all under warranty. Just a great owner and great company. I would recommend to anyone!”

Jeff and April Morrison

“My Three Sons, its owner Keith Zafran, and its painting professionals are fantastic — I cannot speak highly enough about them. They are true professionals, excellent painters, and extremely friendly and efficient. They came to give a free estimate right away and fit me into their schedule very quickly. They were very responsive to questions and they made my house look fantastic. I highly recommend them!”

Joe Oliveri

“Excellent communication. Our project took several days and John always showed up on time and when he said he would. The drywall repair work we had done was absolutely top notch. I felt Keith and his staff were highly committed to excellent workmanship and customer satisfaction.“

“We finally updated our walls this week with the help of My Three Sons Painting. We ditched the red, green and yellow walls in the living room, foyer and bedroom for Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray while also touching up all the trim. The painters did an excellent job, and my favorite part about them was that they showed up ON TIME and delivered what they promised every day! Highly recommend their team if you need any painting. Shout out to Tony, Terrick and Justin for a job well done!”

Amy ThompsonLexington KY

“In a world where there only seems to be horror stories, My Three Sons is a shining light. I have found them to be trustworthy (quote was exactly the same as the actual price with no hidden fees), reliable (turned up when they said they would and kept me informed of the timeline and schedule every step of the way), respectful (Justin and Shane were awesome, very polite and kept the place clean and tidy. In fact they swept my unfinished basement floor when they were done and it looked better than it did when they started work!). Last but not least, the quality is spot on. Absolutely no complaints. My Three Sons power washed and repainted our deck, and they painted Drylock our unfinished basement walls. Both projects look fantastic. I fully recommend them and will be hiring them again in the future.”

Katie Owens

“I am impressed with Keith’s follow up. They had refinished my decks about two years ago, and one of the decks began showing accelerated age at the end of last year. I contacted Keith and he promptly came out to see for himself. Not only did he come, but he brought the manufacturer rep of the product used. They agreed that the deck did not represent what they expected in terms of quality. He scheduled a time that day to come back out, strip, and redo the entire deck. He said it was the right thing to do. Thank you very much for your exceptional follow up!”

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. They always showed up on time, worked conscientiously, and the results were fantastic. Very professional job. I highly recommend them for any painting around your home.

Keith and his team from My Three Sons EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS in every which way! We are extremely satisfied with the outcome of the interior paint provided by My Three Sons and enjoyed working with the staff each day. Very kind, very professional, and worth every penny.

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.
