Transform Your Milwaukee Home with Exterior Brick Painting

Posted on April 16, 2025

Brick homes are a staple in Milwaukee’s historic neighborhoods—from Bay View to Wauwatosa—but over time, even the most charming brick can start to look tired or outdated. If you’re ready for a transformation, exterior brick painting is one of the most effective ways to refresh your home while adding lasting protection from Wisconsin’s weather.

At CertaPro Painters® of Milwaukee, WI, we specialize in turning classic brick exteriors into bold, modern statements with high-quality, durable paints. Whether you live in a mid-century ranch in Shorewood, a bungalow in Bay View, or a colonial in Whitefish Bay, our team is ready to help bring your vision to life.

Why Milwaukee Homeowners Choose Exterior Brick Painting

1. Instantly Modernize Your Curb Appeal

Painted brick is on-trend, and for good reason. A fresh coat of paint in timeless shades like warm gray, slate blue, or crisp white can breathe new life into older Milwaukee homes and make them stand out in any neighborhood.

2. Weather Protection for Harsh Winters

Milwaukee winters are tough on exterior surfaces. Professional-grade masonry paint adds a layer of protection against snow, ice, salt, and fluctuating temperatures, while still allowing your brick to breathe.

3. Increase Property Value

Updated exteriors attract buyers and add long-term value. A professionally painted brick home in neighborhoods like East Side, Walker’s Point, or Glendale can increase marketability and give your home an edge.
