Professional Painting for Brick Surfaces in Knoxville, TN

Painting brick is a popular way to dramatically transform the curbside look and feel of a brick home. Brick painting projects can be difficult because of the porous nature of the material, brick will soak up paint which means more paint will be needed when compared to other common exterior surfaces.

Painting your brick is a permanent change to the home. Before painting the brick surfaces of your home, carefully consider the pros and cons of what the results of the project will bring. It will be extremely difficult to fully remove paint from brick once it has been applied.

Painting brick also will introduce the need for occasional washing and cleaning of the exterior. Painted brick will show dirt and grime more easily than the natural face of brick.

Benefits of Painted / Stained Brick

• Painting brick is an easy way to quickly change the curbside appearance of a home.
• Paint on the surface helps seal cracks or gaps where bugs or water could get in.
• Protection from the elements – painted brick will help with reducing deterioration of the surfaces
• Easy to clean – Painted brick offers a smooth surface that wipes clean very easily.

Prepping Brick for Painting

Brick surfaces need to be thoroughly cleaned and fully dry before painting begins. Damaged areas of brick should also be repaired and replaced rather than painted over. We start most brick painting projects with a thorough power washing, followed by patching and repairs to any areas that look like they could be a problem.

Painting brick exteriors is not recommended as a DIY project for these reasons. If you are interested in painting the exterior of your brick home and live in the greater Knoxville, TN service area. Contact us to set up a free estimate appointment.
