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 masonry more expensive than concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it&rsquo;s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth removing paint from brick?

• <div><p>Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.</p></div>

Q: What are different types of masonry?

• <div><p>Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.</p></div>

Q: Does staining brick increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, staining a brick home can increase a home&rsquo;s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home&rsquo;s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe. </p></div>
