The Brick Painting Process
The process for painting brick can vary depending on the type of brick and the project requirements, but most projects follow a process similar to the one below:
Prep & Clean Brick
The first step is to make sure the brick is clean and clear of any dirt or grime. This is usually done with power washing equipment and steel brushes. Cracks and other issues are also repaired as part of the prep process.
Prime
A layer of primer is applied to the brick, this step helps make sure that the paint adheres to surfaces properly.
Paint
Once the primer layer is dry a top layer of paint is applied to the brick, most projects require a few coats to get an even finish.
Inspect
When the job is completed, we clean everything up and walk you through a final inspection. During this time, we accept feedback and ensure that you are 100% satisfied with the results.
CertaPro Painters did an excellent job on the exterior of my house and garage. Both look beautiful when they finished. They cleaned up completely each day and did a complete cleanup before they left. I would certainly use them again and highly recommend them.
