How Will You Use Sherwin-Williams’ Color Of The Year In 2020?
January 2, 2020So, you’re living in a beautiful brick home in Collin County, TX.
Either you’ve been living there for years or have just moved to one of our great cities of Wylie, Plano, McKinney — among others.
One day, however, you decide that brick exterior could use a change or color refresh, but your first thought is: “can I paint the brick on the outside of my home?”
If this situation sounds familiar to you, you’re definitely not alone in wondering if painting exterior brick is possible.
As you’ll find out below, painting brick is indeed possible but does come with some very important caveats before you start prepping your local paint crew.

Pros & Cons Of Painting Your Brick House
Check out this article for more details about the pros and cons of painting a brick home, but the first major item in the “con” list of painting a brick house is that there is no easy “undo” button.
Essentially once you’ve painted the brick, going back to the original surface is next to impossible.
Outside of that important drawback, though, the pros of painting your brick home are what you would find with painting any other kind of home: improved curb appeal, updating a dated exterior aesthetic and most importantly achieving your desired look you want for your home.
Hire An Experienced Brick House Painting Company To Do It Right
Painting brick can be a painstaking process.
While all painting projects require prep work, brick house painting projects require much, much more upfront work to ensure it will turn out correctly.
From cleaning and repairing the brick, to picking out the correct paint to ensure it will let your brick breathe correctly, this kind of painting project you’ll want to leave it to the pros. (Check out this Bob Vila article for more brick painting process details).
As mentioned above, once you start painting your brick home going back is almost always not an option, so make sure you hire the right exterior painting crew that has the experience and foresight to make certain your project goes smoothly.
