How we do it

Outside work comes down to the weather and the prep. We wait for dry days and warm enough temperatures, wash the house, scrape and sand loose paint, and mask the windows, lights and walks with paper and tape before anything gets sprayed.

On big walls we spray and back-roll: one of us sprays and the other rolls right behind, which works the paint into the surface instead of leaving it sitting on top. Brick gets a masonry primer first so the finish coats bond and last.

What happens from the first visit to the last walkthrough. Each step adds its layer to the drawing.

  1. 01

    Walkthrough

    We walk around the house with you, look at the brick, siding and trim, and give you a price.

    Wash & mask

    The house gets washed and dried, loose paint scraped and sanded, and windows, fixtures and walks covered.

  3. 03

    Prime

    Masonry primer on brick and spot primer on bare wood, so the finish has something to hold on to.

  4. 04

    Spray & back-roll

    Two finish coats, sprayed and rolled in right behind the sprayer.

  5. 05

    Final walkthrough

    Paper and tape come off, and we walk the house with you before we pack up.

Questions about exterior & painted brick

Something we didn’t cover? Call (317) 220-5912 and ask.

Can you paint brick?

Yes. We wash it, let it dry, prime it with a masonry primer and put on two finish coats. Keep in mind that once brick is painted it’s very hard to go back, so be sure you like the look.

When is the best time of year to paint outside?

Late spring through early fall, on dry days. Most exterior paints need temperatures around 50°F or higher while they dry, so we watch the forecast and schedule around it.

How do you protect windows and plants?

Everything that isn’t getting paint gets covered: paper and tape on windows and light fixtures, drop cloths over walks, porches and plants.

Can the trim be a different color?

Of course. Body, trim, doors and shutters can each be their own color, and they’re usually priced together.
