We are building a ranch and love the look but need to know if this is affordable for a 2600 sq ft home

    Application costs for application can be as varied as cost for interior painting for new construction, but the rule of thumb is if you are just painting BioCalce Classico or BioDomus I or II, labor and materials average $1.50 - 2.50 per ft2, labor and materials, depending on existing circumstances. This is for straight painting with no antique effects. Applying BioCalce Classico and creating an antique effect, is a question of artistic interpretation, experience with masonry building materials, and profound knowledge of how slaked lime products work. Application of this type on a home is a huge responsibility, and requires a master craftsman/artist to succeed where few dare to venture. What is that worth? More than what an applicator will charge you, but our experience with applicators seems to indicate an average of about $3.50 ft2. Response from Christopher Lewis, CTO, ROMA.
