Does brick increase home value?

• <div><p>Brick can increase the value of your home depending on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-most-common-masonry-materials.htm">type of masonry materials</a> used. Homes generally have a higher resale value when they have brick siding, and brick is also easier to maintain (and lasts longer) than other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-different-house-siding.htm">types of siding</a>, which can motivate buyers to make an offer.</p><p>Just keep in mind, however, that although brick can up the asking price when you sell your house, the cost to brick a house is also more expensive than other typical siding costs—so you’ll invest more in the project.</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>

Q: Is it better to limewash or whitewash brick?

• <div><p>The choice between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-whitewash.htm">limewash vs. whitewash</a> brick depends on aesthetic preference and the desired outcome. Whitewashing creates a softer, more opaque finish, suitable for a rustic or shabby-chic look. Since the solution is paint-based, you can use it on painted brick, unlike limewash. Limewashing offers a more natural, textured appearance, allowing the brick's texture to shine while providing a breathable, protective coating. Conversely, whitewashing is also more forgiving when it comes to application, while limewashing requires more skill but offers a more traditional and durable finish.</p></div>

Q: Can you stain red brick white?

• <div><p>You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn&rsquo;t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white. </p></div>

Q: Can you German smear over painted brick?

• <div><p>A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance&mdash;so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.</p></div>
