Frequently Asked Questions

Painted brick sits on the surface of masonry, essentially suffocating a building product that needs to breathe to thrive. When the masonry is sealed, moisture can get trapped, and will likely destroy your brick. Painting exterior brick may seem like the cheaper option upfront, but will require upkeep every 3-5 years, and will decrease your home value. 

Stained brick absorbs into the masonry, and becomes chemically bonded. It does not seal the masonry, and will not need any maintenance or upkeep. 

We can stain any porous masonry including brick, mortar, stone, manufactured stone, block, etc.

Yes we can! If your brick is absorbent and you haven't previously painted bricks, you can achieve a white stained brick  

Most masonry is absorbent, but not all. Whether it had been previously painted or has just naturally low absorbency, there's a quick and simple way to check absorbency. Perform a water test - pour a little water on the wall. If the water beads off it and doesn't darken the wall, you have low absorption. If the wall absorbs the water, and the wall darkens until it is dry, your masonry is a good candidate for our proven masonry staining. 

Yes! Our proprietary masonry stains are VOC-free with no harsh fumes or harsh chemicals.

The masonry must be dry (no rain or snow for 24 hours prior or after time of staining), and weather must be above 40 degrees. The masonry must be free from any acid, cleaning-solution residue or sealers. Our stains react poorly with acids, especially muriatic acid which can affect how well it bonds with the surface.
