Brick painting is a commitment — once painted, going back to bare brick is a significant undertaking. We make sure clients understand that upfront. But when done right, painted brick looks spectacular and adds years of protection to aging mortar.

We use masonry-specific paints that allow the brick to breathe. Regular exterior paints trap moisture and cause spalling. The right product matters more here than on any other surface we paint.

Brick staining is a less-permanent alternative. A penetrating stain soaks into the masonry and changes the colour while keeping the texture visible and the brick breathable. It's the right call for many older Toronto homes.

What's included

  • Mortar joints inspected and repointed where needed before paint
  • Efflorescence and staining treated before application
  • Breathable masonry paint — moisture can escape
  • Penetrating brick stain available as an alternative
  • Two full coats applied by brush and roller
  • Colour tested on a small area before full commitment

Our process

  1. 1

    Pressure wash & inspect

    The whole exterior is washed to strip dirt, chalk, and mildew, then inspected for failing paint, rot, and gaps that need attention.

  2. 2

    Scrape, sand & repair

    Loose and peeling paint is scraped and sanded, and damaged wood or masonry is repaired so the finish has a sound surface to grip.

  3. 3

    Caulk & prime

    Every gap and joint is caulked with exterior-grade sealant, and bare spots are spot-primed to lock out moisture — the freeze-thaw enemy of Ontario paint.

  4. 4

    Two finish coats

    We apply two full coats of premium exterior paint built for our climate, carrying manufacturer warranties of up to 15 years when applied over proper prep.

  5. 5

    Final inspection & clean-up

    We do a full walkaround with you, touch up anything flagged, and leave the property spotless — no debris, no paint chips in the garden.
