Brick Painting: Refresh Your Property
To insure the longest lasting investment, the painting team at TBJ does critical prep-work including:
- Carefully pressure washing the bricks to break up any accumulated dirt and debris.
- Clean the brick surfaces with an environmentally friendly solution that removes impurities from the delicate mortar and surface.
- Cover surfaces, such as windows, window trimmings, doors, eaves troughs, and plants to protect them from any potential paint splatter.
Please note that the bricks need to completely dry for at least 48 hours before painting. This avoids surprises like water damage beneath the surface of the paint.
Once the preparations and drying is complete, the brick painting process can begin:
- We’ll first apply a layer of primer to ensure proper adhesion to your bricks.
- Then we’ll carefully paint the surface of the bricks. (Due to its porous nature, your bricks will probably require several coats of paint to get them looking their best.)
- We’ll finish the job off with weather sealer to protect the paint and the bricks. This will make them easier to clean and harder to damage.
