How do you paint your brick house?

• <div><p>The premise for painting a brick building is fairly simple: Prime the bricks to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ask-angie-painting-chimney-good-idea.htm">seal the surface</a> and apply the top coat to protect your brick home. However, it’s easy to miss a few important steps if you’re starting from a raw brick surface and don’t know the basics of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-brick-home-exteriors.htm">how to paint brick</a>. So be sure to reach out to a local professional painter if you have any reservations about correctly painting your brick house. </p></div>

Q: Is rock salt corrosive?

• <div><p>Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead. </p></div>

Q: Who repairs brick mailboxes?

• <div><p>Typically, a brick mason will repair a brick mailbox. They can provide an estimate for repairs, which may include sourcing replacement brick, mortar, and other materials. If your brick mailbox has been completely destroyed, you should check with your local building code enforcement office to confirm that a brick mailbox is allowed in your location as some areas do not allow brick mailboxes because of the potential hazard for drivers who may hit them. </p></div>

Q: Does brick stain peel?

• <div><p>Brick stain doesn&rsquo;t peel or chip and is much more durable than painting. That&rsquo;s because the staining is absorbed into the brick instead of lingering on the surface as paint does. The color retains even under extreme weather conditions. Therefore, brick stain will save you a lot of time and cost on maintenance in the long run.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose a brick paint color?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-right-paint-color-your-home.htm">Choosing the right paint color</a> for a major investment like painting the exterior brick on your house can be a daunting task. Perhaps the most important thing is to find painted brick houses that you like and replicate the look by researching their colors and asking the homeowners for the paint color code. If all else fails, white-painted brick is a timeless, classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. </p></div>
