Brick Painting Makeover

 

The homeowners of this Carmel home called us to get a quote for painting the exterior of their house for a modern update. They wanted a full makeover, and for that they were going to need to paint the brick! We were happy to come by and give them a free quote for exterior siding and brick painting.

The first thing we always want to do is understand your goals for your painting project. We walked around with the homeowner to review the entire house and put together a quote for everything. They had some wood rot, so we pointed that out and included wood replacement in their detailed quote for painting. This family also wanted some interior painting completed, so we put together a full proposal based on their painting goals.

 

Color Selection

When painting, color selection can be an overwhelming decision.

  • How do I choose the best color for my house?
  • How do I pick the best shade of white for my home?
  • Should I paint my brick the same color as my siding?

 

Luckily, we’ve got you covered! Like many of our customers, this homeowner received a complimentary color consultation. We sent a professional designer and color expert to their house to help them pick out just the right colors to achieve the look of their dreams!

The homeowner’s knew they wanted to brighten and modernize the home. They definitely wanted to get rid of the green, and they wanted to paint the brick. We helped them with choosing paint colors for their home!

 

With our designer’s help, the homeowners chose Sherwin Williams colors for their project:

Brick Painting

When it comes to painting brick, the process, products, and experienced painters are all crucial pieces to achieving a finish that will last for years. We clean the brick to remove any surface debris that could prevent adhesion, and we use tape, paper, and cloths to protect any surfaces that we won’t be painting. Next, we apply a high-quality masonry primer. This primer will seal the brick to help prevent deterioration, block the color of the bricks from showing through, and provide the base layer for paint to stick to.

After that, we will paint with a high-quality exterior paint. Different homes and colors have different needs, and our experienced team of painters and managers will make sure that your home has the perfect products for your situation. Most of our projects use Sherwin-Williams paints and products, but we also use PPG/Porter Paints and Benjamin Moore products when appropriate. Your quote will show what products we will use to create your dream home look!

The Result

Our favorite things to see: a beautifully painted home, and another straight-A grade card!

Every customer gets a grade card at the end of every project, it’s the chance to let us know how everything went. We LOVE seeing how happy our homeowners are! Our painters, carpenters, and managers all pride ourselves on creating beautiful homes for all of our customers!

Painting Brick to Update Exterior


 

When these Indianapolis homeowners started thinking about painting their house, they knew they wanted to make a big update. It’s a beautiful home but the brick was starting to look a little outdated, so they decided to go all in: they painted the brick!

A lot of people are considering painting their brick to update their homes. It’s a quick way to completely change the look of a house, and you can change your home into any color you would like. The process for painting brick is more involved than with just painting wood or siding, so it’s important to bring in a professional who knows how to paint brick correctly.

The Process

When making this kind of investment in your home, it’s important to be sure you have the color that you want! Our team has experience with colors and we sent our PPG Paint specialist to the house to make sure we had an exact match. He was also able to create a custom match for the black contrasting color used on the garage doors and gutters. For the brick, siding, and trim, the homeowners chose PPG 1008-1 Focus. This is a warm neutral white color that feels classic, and the perfect choice for their home!

As with many of our painting projects, the first step is to take care of any wood replacement needed. A painted finish can only be as good as the material that it’s on! Luckily our carpenters can take care of most wood issues that we come across. In this case, our carpenters replaced some wood trim, gutter boards, and siding.

 

 

As a service, we are also able to offer new gutters and downspouts. The perfect time to replace those is during a painting project, and we can make it easier by handling all of that for you. Since we were doing such a big overhaul on this home’s exterior, the homeowner’s thought it would be ideal to take care of both projects at once. They chose gutters with gutter covers to reduce future maintenance. In addition, they chose to have their gutters and downspouts painted a contrasting dark color in order to stand out.

 

 

Once painting started, our Quality Managers were on site to check the progress and quality of this project every day. We take care of the details so the homeowner can just relax and know that the job is being completed with care. Our results and reviews speak for themselves!

The Finished Product

The end result of this project is stunning. The house feels contemporary while still timeless, welcoming and warm. We want to spend a quiet afternoon on the porch of this house – but we are on to the next home!

 

 

If you’re thinking about your next painting project, give us a call and let us help you create an incredible home that you’re sure to love.
