exterior makeover. might paint the brick

sue
el último mes

if we can keep the brick and work with it to look amazing, great ! but we are leaning towards painting it. siding change to board and batten, and maybe in the peaks those shingles . oh . and we have to replace all the windows. this is in a neighborhood on a crescent , house is about 40 years old. DO we paint brick light then dark on top, other way around, I have no idea ! thanks the brick is a light brown . hard to explain, this photo makes it look darker. i want plain windows , shutters to come off, etc

    There is nothing wrong with the brick. Surely you don't want to turn your no maintenance brick into a surface that has to be repainted again and again periodically. I think your house will look better without the shutters. The brown roof is a limiting factor. Cream or sage siding (think of the roof over the bay window) would look good, but board and batten doesn't strike me as the best choice. Please don't get black windows. Your house will never be Modern Farmhouse. The porkchop eaves and bay window are working against that. Once you choose a siding color, think about something different for your front door and garage door. You can always update your post here to show samples of siding and get more comments. Once you choose the manufacturer you will know what your options are.

      Since you are replacing the siding forgo painting the brick. Find a siding colour that moderizes the brick. I feel it is a waste of money that can be better spent into the siding/windows etc.

      Are you also planning on redoing the roof? Seems old and discoloured on the photo.

      Here's one idea keeping the brick as is...

      I don’t undertand the worry anout having to periodially repaint brick, when the rest of the house with siding will also need repainting. If you do proper prep and use products specifically designed for brick, lots of people have posted that their painted brick has been maintenance free..

      I think your house would look wonderful all painted one color.

      You can play with paint visualizers on different paint websites, if you don’t have photoshop skills.

      One of several options if you decide to paint the brick...

      All one colour could also be quite nice. Select a white that will match the brick colour. Look at the Romabio website for a limewash finish for your bricks.

      The current color of the siding and roof shingles don't work with the brick color. Limewashing the brick would be my last consideration.

      "... it looked awesome! " It always LOOKs nice-at first. It won't last the way the brick does and the maintenance chore you've now created will be a FOREVER PITB!! FUNCTION FUNCTION FUNCTION

      If you love the brick, modernizing the siding will be your next step as Lorraine suggests.

      HI THERE . we don't love the brick thats the issue,but we for sure are replacing the siding to a board and batten, but no idea what color scheme. no grids on windows. we have to change them all, no shutters posts changed etc. the only thing staying is the roof as its new, its a dark brown, almost a touch of gray but hard to say, thanks :)

      Aaaaahhh since you don't love the brick than maybe a German Schmear. It's very magnolia farms Chip and Joann Gaines but looks very pretty and softens the brick. I think maintenance may be easier than a painted surface

      I painted our brick house 20 years ago and it looks as good now as when it was first painted. I’m so happy we painted it. My husband thought the same thing about maintaining it, but now he is so glad we did, looks 100% better painted. Go for it if that works best for your look.

      My brick home was actually painted when it was built in 1939. We have not had any issues with it…in fact, we have had more issues with paint peeling off our redwood siding over the years that we have owned it. That said..I think you might dislike your brick because it looks pink in contrast to the yellow siding. It is the siding color that needs to change. Give your brick a chance and look into paint colors that coordinate better with it than what you have on it now. The sage green, or white, would both be a dramatic improvement over the yellowish color that you home is painted now. Good luck!

      Pick colors first since there are thousands of colors of paint.
