Brick Painting in Atlanta
Painting the brick exterior itself, or the siding and trim to compliment the brick, increases your home's curb appeal and adds value. It can also make your home look gorgeous, which means you'll feel proud to roll up to it at the end of any long, hard day!
Many people don't know they can paint the actual brick. In truth, there are considerations you must take into account. Let's review some of them.

Before You Decide
Exterior Brick Painting Considerations
In addition, you should only consider brick painting when the brickwork is in good condition. We will make light repairs as part of our painting process, but we're not bricklayers. We'll assess and itemize repairs on your written estimate.
- 01Brick is porous
That means it holds on to dirt and debris far more than traditional siding.
- 02Most paints won't bond to brick
It also means that most exterior paints will struggle to bond to brick. If you use traditional paint, it will tend to bubble and peel very quickly. Only use paint formulated for brick.
- 03Clean it at least once a year
You should clean your home's brick exterior and trim at least once a year to protect it from Atlanta weather and keep the color vibrant. Also be sure to clean and maintain your gutter system.
Color Ideas
Exterior Brick and Paint Color Combinations
Brick painting colors are usually most successful in neutral shades. These are our favorite exterior brick and paint color ideas.
- White or Off White
White or Off White is beautiful with grays and blacks for the roof, siding, and trim giving your home a monochromatic color scheme.
- Beige or Bronze
Beige or Bronze exterior brick looks stunning with brown or clay-colored roofs. Use a rich brown for the trim.
- Gray
Gray is sleek and classy on natural brick. Pair it with crisp white trim.
Limewash
Limewash Brick Exterior Painting
Limewash is more expensive, but lasts for decades. The manufacturer warranties it for 20 years when applied properly. Ideal for unpainted, absorbent brick, stone or other masonry surfaces, lime wash brick painting offers unparalleled beauty and a classic finish. It does not bubble or peel and can withstand annual washings with ease.
- It's natural, permeable, and breathable.
- It bonds directly to the brick.
- Limewash becomes rock-hard when it dries.
- Limewash allows you to retain the textured look of brick.
We recommend limewash because it offers a classic look with timeless appeal. It's also environmentally friendly and cost-effective. It's even UV fade-resistant and typically dries within an hour of application.

Excellent work at very competitive prices
I hired Kimberly Painting to do some work on the exterior of my home. Before hiring them, I took quotes from four other painting companies. Not only was Kimberly's quote the cheapest, but it also included the most amount of work. The crew that painted my house did an amazing job. They worked quickly, communicated with me often and we're always on time. When they finished, their work exceeded all my expectations for how it would turn out.
BMB. MurdockGreat company, great results
We are in the midst of a remodel, and used Kimberly Painting to handle all the interior painting: walls, ceiling, trim, and cabinetry. They did a great job, and we are very pleased with the outcome. The people are great, and you get the very real sense that they genuinely want to do whatever it takes to please you. We really enjoyed working with the whole team, the painting crew, the office, and the project manager. A great company.
TBT.H. BarrKind and Hard-Working!
I picked Kimberly Painting randomly, and I'm glad I did. They first painted my interior in 2021, and they just completed my exterior. Both times they did a beautiful job, and the team of painters are always kind and hard-working. The owner, Mark, is easy to talk to, and the prices can't be beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Brick painting FAQs
We're big fans of painting brick exteriors, but it's an important decision, because you're changing a significant element of your home's appearance. As an advantage, exterior brick paint can help cover up discoloration and uneven bricklaying. Multiple coats offer insulating benefits to reduce energy costs and help seal out damaging moisture. Painting brick also enhances the existing architectural features of your home. And painted brick is easier to keep clean. However, paint won't cover damage to the brick itself. In addition, brick is a low-maintenance feature on your house, whereas exterior paint needs more upkeep. If you use the right kind of exterior paint, thorough preparation, and the correct process, brick painting can give your home a beautiful, timeless appeal.
Yes! But brick paint is permanent. It cannot be removed. It's a great solution for homeowners who don't like the color of the brick or feel it is boring and outdated. If you're not sure, natural brick looks gorgeous with the right exterior paint colors on the trim, siding, and soffits. You could also add shutters to perk up your home's style. Get in touch with Mark at Kimberly Painting for a free assessment and some exterior painting guidance. Also learn how to compare painting estimates to get the best value.
For brick painting, we recommend Sherwin-Williams masonry coating scientifically developed specifically for exterior brick. Another amazing option is Romabio Classico Limewash. This paint was formulated especially for brick surfaces using a slaked-lime slurry that forms a gorgeous finish. It's made in Italy using Dolomite lime, a combination of modern technology and 2,000-year-old techniques.
The average lifespan of regular paint over brick is five to seven years, but it really depends on the weather and also how often you perform maintenance such as pressure washing. Limewash, on the other hand, can literally last decades before you need to give it a refresh.
