Here's what we were working with - a classic two-story brick home with a large back deck, a covered front porch, and a lot of original character. The brick had some discoloration and weathering going on, and the trim and porch surfaces were showing their age. The deck out back was raw, unfinished wood that needed attention before the elements got to it.

Painting brick is not the same as painting siding. It takes the right primer, the right masonry paint, and a lot of careful prep. Skip any of that and you end up with peeling paint within a season or two. We made sure every surface was properly prepped before a drop of finish coat went on.

The result is a totally different home. The brick went from its original red and weathered look to a clean, warm neutral that ties everything together. The trim, porch columns, railings, and stairs all got fresh white paint to match. And the back deck - the whole thing got painted to complement the new exterior color. Front to back, the whole house got the same level of attention.

Older homes like this one have a lot of detail - cornices, decorative trim, arched window surrounds, porch columns. Those details are actually what makes a house like this special. Getting the paint right on all of that is what separates a finished job from a half-finished one. We take that seriously.
