Q: Are brick mailboxes allowed everywhere?

• <div><p>Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/masonry-contractor-hiring-tips.htm">masonry contractor hiring tips</a> is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;s easy to miss a few important steps if you&rsquo;re starting from a raw brick surface and don&rsquo;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 it better to roll or spray exterior paint on brick?

• <div><p>Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the bricks beyond a surface layer. Rolling penetrates the bricks but doesn&rsquo;t work as well on the mortar. A combination of painting and rolling is your best bet. Using a brush to paint brick isn&rsquo;t advised because it is time-consuming and won&rsquo;t penetrate beyond the surface.</p></div>

Q: Can you paint stone on the exterior of a house?

• <div><p>Yes, you can paint stone on the exterior of a house. It&rsquo;s important to properly prep the stone by cleaning off dirt and debris. You&rsquo;ll want to apply at least two coats of paint to get the most even and complete coverage. Any pinholes or missed spots, however small, can allow moisture to get into the masonry and potentially cause the paint to blister and peel from the stone.</p></div>

Q: How do you hang lights on brick without drilling?

• <div><p>You can hang holiday lights on brick without drilling by using hot glue, outdoor tape, or brick clips for your project. There are plenty of alternatives to consider, so consult a professional Christmas light installer to discuss the best options to preserve your brick exterior.</p></div>
