Yes. It is extremely important that you thoroughly clean the brick surface with soap and water to remove all mold, dirt, and debris prior to painting. If you fail to clean the brick properly, the paint could have a hard time adhering to the surface — compromising the quality and service life of the paint job. When you choose our team at Alliance Painting, we perform all the preparation for you to ensure that you receive the highest quality brick painting services.

When wanting the whitewash effect, you will only need to apply a single coat of Classico Limewash. However, if you are wanting a solid-colored finish, it will take two to three coats of limewash before it becomes non-transparent and offers a solid-color to your brick surface.

Exterior paint applies best in warm temperatures, so it is best to paint your home’s exterior in the late spring through early fall. This allows the paint to dry at a proper speed and is the best chance at avoiding high humidity or precipitation that could prevent the paint from applying properly to the home’s surface.

When painting your home’s exterior to sell, it is most common to choose a neutral and muted color. Lighter colors are also the most popular such as off-white, light gray, taupe, and light blue or green. If you are wanting to make a statement and choose a bolder and darker color, the best sellers are red, yellow, and blue.
