Can you pressure wash the paint off brick?

• <div><p>Yes, technically, you can pressure wash the paint off of brick. However, you run a much greater risk of damaging the brick and causing serious problems. If you go this route, you’ll still need to carefully choose and apply a chemical paint stripper before washing, following all instructions on the product packaging. Set your power washer to a low pressure to avoid damage.</p></div>

Is brick staining a good idea?

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>.

Q: Are brick houses more durable?

• <div><p>Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a power sander to clean mortar from bricks?

• <div><p>No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause. </p></div>
