Do cracks in brick always mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>New constructions need time to “settle” and sometimes, small hairline cracks occur as a result. Larger horizontal or “stair step” cracks, however, are usually a sign of a deeper, more severe issue. It could indicate an issue with the soil beneath the home, a problem caused by an overgrown tree, or another problem.</p></div>

Q: Is it a good idea to paint a brick house?

• <div><p>In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you&rsquo;ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.</p></div>

Q: Do cracks in brick always mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>New constructions need time to &ldquo;settle&rdquo; and sometimes, small hairline cracks occur as a result. Larger horizontal or &ldquo;stair step&rdquo; cracks, however, are usually a sign of a deeper, more severe issue. It could indicate an issue with the soil beneath the home, a problem caused by an overgrown tree, or another problem.</p></div>

Q: Are cracks in brick normal?

• <div><p>Some cracking in bricks is normal, such as when a foundation settles. Keep a watchful eye though, and alarm bells should start ringing if new cracks appear or existing cracks lengthen or widen. Temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can all contribute to cracks in bricks either starting or getting worse. </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: 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>
