What Is Whitewashing?
Whitewashing is a technique that involves applying a thinned paint mixture over brick to create a semi-translucent coating. This allows the texture and character of the brick to show through while softening its overall appearance. Unlike traditional painting, whitewashing allows the natural texture and unique features of the brick to show through. The result is a softened, weathered appearance that can vary depending on the amount of coverage you prefer.
Benefits of Whitewashing Brick
Whitewashing is a beautiful way to update your home’s brick surfaces while still enjoying their natural texture and charm. Some of the top benefits include:
- Preserves Texture: Whitewashing highlights the natural texture and pattern of the brick rather than completely covering it.
- Customizable Look: You can choose how much of the original brick color you want to show through based on your style preferences.
- Brightens Spaces: Whitewashing can make both interiors and exteriors feel lighter and more inviting.
- Low Maintenance: Properly applied whitewash provides a long-lasting finish that’s easy to maintain.

Common Questions About Whitewashing
How long does whitewashing last?
With proper preparation and application, a whitewashed brick surface can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or more. Longevity can vary depending on exposure to weather, especially for exterior surfaces. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of the finish.
Can I choose how much of the brick shows through?
Yes! Whitewashing is highly customizable. During your estimate appointment, we’ll work with you to determine how much of the original brick you want to show through — from a very light, subtle wash to a heavier, more solid white appearance.
Where can whitewashing be applied?
Whitewashing works well on both interior and exterior brick surfaces. Common projects include home exteriors, fireplaces, accent walls, and even brick patios.
How is whitewashing different from painting brick?
Unlike painting, which completely covers the brick, whitewashing creates a semi-transparent finish that lets the brick’s texture and natural variations show through. It results in a more rustic, aged look rather than a solid, opaque coating. We’ll assess your specific project during the initial consultation and we can help you explore the best look for your home.
