Painting brick can dramatically modernize a home, especially when coordinating the brick with trim, shutters, roofing, doors, and landscaping. It should also be treated as a long-term finish decision.
Evaluate the masonry first
Brick should be clean, sound, appropriately dry, and free of issues such as loose mortar or moisture-related staining before coating. Proper preparation is essential.
Painted brick becomes a maintained finish
Once coated, brick should be inspected over time like other painted exterior surfaces. A well-planned system can create a clean, cohesive look while protecting the masonry surface.
