What's the Importance of Exterior Brick Painting?

While painting exterior bricks isn't an option for every property, this process offers several benefits for your home's aesthetics, including protection against the elements and a significantly increased curb appeal.

Painting brick white is a common design choice that adds a fresh, modern look to your property and helps it stand out in the neighborhood. Additionally, a painted surface shields the brick from rain, snow, UV rays, and extreme temperatures, preventing issues like erosion and prolonging the life of the exterior.

Painting brick also makes it easier to clean and maintain, as it has reduced porousness, meaning dirt and grime won't adhere to the surface as easily.

Spray-Applied Exterior Painting

Spray-applied exterior brick painting is the most effective and efficient method for creating a smooth, uniform finish on brick surfaces. Our team uses specialized sprayers that atomize masonry paint into a fine mist, allowing it to penetrate the porous brick surface and cover your exterior comprehensively.

Our spray-applied paint guarantees an even finish, is suitable for older and newer homes, and is highly effective on irregularly shaped surfaces.

How Often Should You Paint Your Bricks?

Depending on the integrity of your bricks and the type of paint used in your previous application, you should repaint the exterior brick every 5 to 10 years to maintain a consistent appearance.

Specially formulated masonry paints can last 10 years or more with proper cleaning and application. However, environmental factors can shorten the lifespan of exterior paint, meaning you may need to touch up your brick surfaces more frequently.

What Equipment Is Used to Paint Brick?

Painting brick can be done with standard brushes and rollers, but it requires careful preparation and attention to detail, as the uneven surfaces of the brick can cause complications.

The most common tools and equipment used to paint brick include the following:

• A wire scrub brush or power washer to thoroughly clean and remove debris from the brick surface before painting to help with surface adhesion.
• Painter's tape, which is used to cordon off areas that don't need to be painted, including trim, windows, doors, and adjacent surfaces.
• Drop cloths to protect your outdoor surfaces and soil from paint splatters or spills.
• High-quality masonry primer, which is porous, powerful, and alkali-resistant, meaning it can bond to the bricks more easily and allows moisture to escape.
• Exterior paint, often latex or acrylic paint that is specially formulated for masonry surfaces. It has a slightly different chemical makeup than other paints and usually offers improved color retention and weather resistance.
• Paint sprayers, which are a popular choice for large surfaces, providing increased efficiency and coverage in the bricks' crevices.
