What Makes Brick Painting Tricky in Broadview Homes
Broadview has a lot of brick homes — old Chicago brick, face brick, and newer veneer. Brick is porous. It soaks up moisture, spalls in the freeze-thaw cycle, and efflorescence pushes salts through the surface. Paint brick the wrong way and it traps moisture, then the paint peels and the brick beneath spalls. Our crews know how to prep brick properly, the same way we do on exterior painting jobs.
Brick absorbs moisture
Paint brick without sealing it and moisture gets trapped. Then the freeze-thaw cycle spalls the brick face off. We seal it first.
Efflorescence bleeds through
White salts push up through brick and mortar. We neutralize the salts and block them with a masonry primer.
Old brick is powdery
Aging brick has a powdery surface that regular paint won't grip. We etch and seal it so the paint bonds properly.
Mortar joints are porous
Mortar absorbs paint differently than brick. We prime both so the finish is even across the whole wall.
Brick spalls under the paint
If moisture gets trapped, brick faces pop off. This is why we use breathable masonry paint that lets water vapor out.
Colour matching is tricky
Brick absorbs colour unevenly. We use a primer coat that evens out the surface so the finish coat looks consistent. See color consultation.

A Broadview Brick Crew, Not a Call Centre
We're based in Broadview itself, so when you call about your brick house on 25th Avenue or off Cermak, you're talking to the people who will be standing on your driveway. We know the brick here: the old Chicago brick bungalows, the 1960s veneer, and the newer brick additions. Each one needs a different prep approach.
That same crew covers the neighbouring suburbs too, from Hillside and Westchester across to Maywood, Forest Park and Melrose Park. Same crew, same prep, same price list.

How We Paint a Broadview Brick Job, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how a brick paint job looks in five years happens before any colour goes on. Here's the order we do it in, every single time.
Walk the brick with you
We look at every side and every brick, note the condition, then write the price down. No charge, no pressure.
Pick the masonry paint
We use a breathable masonry paint that allows water vapor to escape. You choose the colour, we choose the formula.
Pressure wash the brick
We clean the entire surface and let it dry completely before any prep work starts. Moisture is the enemy.
Etch and neutralize
We etch the surface to create a mechanical bond and neutralize any efflorescence salts.
Prime and seal
We apply a masonry primer that seals the brick and stops salt from pushing through the finish coat.
First coat
We roll the brick and brush the mortar lines to get full coverage across both surfaces.
Second coat
After the first coat dries, we hit it again. Two coats are standard on every brick job.
Walkthrough and touch-ups
We walk the house with you and fix anything you point at before we load the van.
The Brick Problems Broadview Homeowners Call Us About
Almost every brick call starts with one of these. Here's what's actually going on, and what your brick looks like once we're done.
Brick that looks dirty all the time
Porous brick traps dirt. We seal it so dirt washes off with rain instead of soaking in. Details on exterior painting.
Peeling paint on brick
Previous paint trapped moisture. We remove the failed paint, seal the brick, and apply breathable paint so it doesn't happen again.
Brick that looks clean and fresh
Even colour across the entire wall, with mortar lines that match the brick.
Brick that breathes properly
The paint lets moisture vapor escape so the brick stays dry and the paint doesn't blister.
