Paint the brick! Exterior and interiorReplyCancel

This home in Maine was painted with Japanese soot style. I think its pretty cool. In contrast the house next to theirs is white. In the woods. So gives a nice comparison

We have a black house! The siding is painted, but as another commenter mentioned, the brick was stained with a custom concrete stain. I was concerned the painted siding wouldn't match the stained brick sections, but they do! I will say colors look darker when it's your entire house than a 12" square you test the color on. Ours is BM graphite–it reads black. Very few houses in our early 70s neighborhood have painted brick, so I was prepared for opinions. I actually had people comment they wished they had the guts to paint their brick instead of finding a paint color to match it. On the plus side, staining the brick was also cheaper than painting because it needed fewer coats!ReplyCancel

Measure the living area and estimate the construction cost of the area including annexes, lean-tos and other addition but exclude the basement, attic, and porch. garage conversion
