History:

Starting LIME Painting in Denver, CO in 2013, Nick Lopez, Founder and CEO, was hands-on growing and finding success in the painting, surface coating, and restoration space. Launching into franchising in 2018 with the members of his own team branching out on their own to use the tools they learned to grow their dreams.

Recognizing a deeply underserved niche in the luxury home‑improvement space, Nick and his team built a model that delivers far more than paint. High‑end properties require specialized care, which is why we offer 40+ premium services designed to preserve, enhance, and elevate every surface. Our approach centers on meticulous preparation, intentional process, and curated product selection—tailored to each client and each project—to create results that endure beautifully over time.

 

Love. Integrity. Mission. Excellence.
