How to Paint Brick for Commercial Buildings

Painting commercial brick is a bit of a project, but with the right steps, you can make your business place look fresh and inviting. Here’s a simple guide for painting commercial brick:

1. Prepare the Surface: First, clean the brick thoroughly. Use a wire brush to remove dirt, loose paint, and any rough spots. You may also need to power wash the brick to get it really clean.
2. Repair Any Damage: Check for cracks or holes in the brick. If you find any, fill them in with masonry caulk or patching compound. Let it dry completely before moving on.
3. Protect Nearby Areas: Cover any areas you don’t want to get paint on, like windows, doors, or trim, with painter’s tape and plastic sheeting.
4. Choose the Right Paint: Select a high-quality masonry paint suitable for outdoor use. It’s best to go with a paint specifically designed for brick surfaces.
5. Start Priming: Apply a coat of masonry primer to the brick. This helps the paint adhere better and provides a smooth surface. Let it dry according to the primer’s instructions.
6. Paint the Brick: Once the primer is dry, start painting with a roller or a brush. Begin at the top and work your way down, ensuring even coverage. Apply a second coat if needed, following the drying time specified on the paint can.
7. Clean Up: Remove the tape and plastic sheeting while the paint is still a little tacky. This prevents peeling when you remove the tape.
8. Final Touches: After the paint is fully dry, step back and admire your refreshed brick exterior. It’s a good idea to keep some extra paint for touch-ups in case of any future damage.

Remember, painting brick is a durable way to update your commercial space’s appearance, so take your time and do it right for a polished and professional finish.
