Get a brand new look with freshly painted brick!
Painting or staining exterior brick is very popular right now and will continue to be for many more years. You can see examples of houses with painted brick in almost any neighbourhood as well as on leading renovation TV shows!
We have developed a specialized method to refinish your brick exterior for beauty and longevity.
Our Method
Most painters who attempt to paint exterior brick will either apply the paint by brush only or by spray only.
By using only a brush or roller, there’s no way that the proper amount of product can be applied for the job to last. The paint just cannot get into and seal all the areas when painting by hand alone.
But applying the paint only by spray is not preferable either, because without the friction of a brush or roller, the paint will not penetrate into the texture and pores of the brick. It will just lay on the outer surface and form a weaker bond with the substrate, peeling and flaking off after only a few seasons.
So at We Paint Siding, we always back-roll or back-brush the paint after we spray it on. This is an extra step that makes a big difference for both aesthetics and longevity. As the customer you get the best of both worlds.
Brick Painting Testimonials
We Paint Siding spray painted the outside brick and aluminum siding of our house. They are very professional and performed an excellent job – they power washed the exterior before spray painting. After spray painting, they went over all painted areas with a brush to ensure that no spots were missed. The paint job is very thorough – all the nooks and crannies and crevices in between the bricks were painted. The house underwent a complete transformation, we are very satisfied!

Our Process
- Thoroughly pressure wash and clean all the brick, and allow enough days to fully dry out
- Fill gaps and cracks in the brick. Cracks tend to be more noticeable once the brick is painted a solid colour, so we make sure to seal them all up
- Completely mask and protect all surrounding areas and surfaces from possible overspray
- Apply a generous amount of paint by spray
- Back-roll or back-brush all the excess paint into the brick, using the friction to work the product into the texture.
- Remove the masking and reveal the finished product!
