From historic homes in Bethlehem and Easton to newer properties in Allentown and surrounding communities, updating brick exteriors is a popular way to modernize curb appeal while protecting your home from Pennsylvania’s seasonal weather.
Painting or limewashing brick can dramatically improve your home’s appearance, creating a clean, updated look while helping shield surfaces from moisture, temperature changes, and long-term wear. It’s a smart investment for homeowners looking to increase property value and extend the life of their exterior.
Because brick is naturally porous, achieving a durable, even finish requires proper preparation, the right coatings, and careful application. Our experienced painters understand how to properly clean, repair, and prime brick surfaces to ensure long-lasting results.
Whether you’re looking for a solid painted finish or a softer, natural limewash look, we deliver results designed to perform in the Lehigh Valley climate and look great for years to come.
Our Brick Painting Process
The process for painting brick can vary depending on the type of brick and the project requirements, but most projects in the Lehigh Valley follow a process similar to the one below:
Clean & Prepare Brick
The brick is cleaned of any dirt, mold, or mildew. This is usually done through power washing and steel brushes. Cracks and other major flaws are repaired.
Prime Coat
A layer of primer is applied to the brick. This step ensures that our specialty paints adhere properly to the surface, creating long-lasting results.
Painting
Once the primer layer is dry we apply a top layer of paint. Most brick painting projects require multiple coats to achieve an even finish.

Whitewashing & Limewashing For Brick Surfaces
Whitewashing and limewashing are unique alternatives to standard painting, offering homeowners a way to enhance their brick surfaces while preserving the natural beauty of the material. The application process involves applying the product to the brick lightly, then dabbing it with a cloth. Depending on the intensity of white used in the wash, the brick’s inherent color variations subtly show through a soft, semi-translucent layer. This is a refined and attractive look that some homeowners desire for their interior or exterior brick surfaces.
If you’re looking to maintain the authentic feel of your brick while freshening up its appearance, this approach may be right for you. We can customize how much white is used in your wash.

Frequently Asked Questions about Painting & Limewashing Brick
See below for some of the most commonly asked questions about brick painting and limewashing projects.
Q: Is it better to paint brick or limewash it?
A: It depends on the look and longevity you want. Painted brick offers a solid, uniform color and long-term coverage, while limewash creates a softer, breathable finish that naturally ages and allows the brick texture to show through.
Q: What’s the difference between whitewashing and limewashing brick?
A: Whitewashing typically uses diluted paint to create a semi-transparent look, while limewashing uses a mineral-based product that bonds to the brick and creates a more natural, weathered finish over time.
Q: How long does painted or limewashed brick last?
A: Painted brick can last 10–15 years or more with proper application, while limewash may last 5–10 years and gradually patinas over time, often requiring less maintenance but more touch-ups depending on exposure.
