Brick Painting for Arlington and Alexandria Homes

Painted brick is a heavy commitment and a common request across Del Ray, North Arlington, and Old Town Alexandria where the original red brick reads dated. Once brick is painted it is a maintenance surface, and the prep and coating system decides whether the finish lasts a decade or peels off in three years. Crews walk the elevation at the estimate to flag efflorescence, spalling, and failed mortar before pricing.

Prep is where a brick job succeeds or fails. A full pressure wash is day one, followed by masonry primer designed to lock down chalky surfaces and neutralize alkalinity. Loose mortar is repointed and rot-adjacent trim is addressed, then finish coats go on with the sheen the elevation actually needs.

Color reads on brick are hard to judge from a chip, so real drawdowns are staged on the wall in full sun and shade before final color is locked. Warm whites, sandy greiges, and deep charcoal or moody blues are the palette we see most, always within Old Town historic-district color guidelines where applicable. Every brick project is backed by our 3-year transferable warranty, and it sequences cleanly with any exterior painting already on the scope.
