Thread: Another Project

This is a remodel job we done a while back. Check out the handrails on the proch. My brain was sore after building these lol. The lady wanted the brick painted on the house when we finished everything. So we did lol. Think it turned out nice. I love this old house. Would sell mine and buy this one tomorrow if it was possible. We also done the concrete work and put all new windows in the house. Anyway, not fishin pics but thought some of u might enjoy.

Very nice!!! Gonna paint my brick, did you use some sort of sealer before painting it??

I have an airless sprayer and yes we pressure washed the brick then primed it with a block sealer then put the paint on. I would recommend putting a semigloss paint on everything on the outside. It stays cleaner and in my opinion lasts a whole lot longer,

Good info, thanks.

This may get deleted for not being on classified but Rees i got a very good deal on good airless sprayer. After we pained this one we did 4 more here in town and I upgraded to a bigger one. I will demo the one for sell. Its a good rig. Anyone interested can pm me.

Just remember, once painted it will fade and you'll be painting for as long as you own it.

Depends on what kind of paint you use and how well you prime them. Mines been painted for 8 yrs and looks as good now as the day I finished it.

Yes I agree , flat paint fades pretty quickly but if you paint with a gloss or satin finish like most people use on the trim it will last a very long time.
