Brick Painting Goes Wrong More Often Than Any Other Exterior Job — Here's Exactly Why

Brick is one of the most unforgiving surfaces to paint incorrectly. It's porous, it holds moisture, and it breathes — meaning moisture from inside the wall has to be able to move through the surface. Paint the wrong product over brick and you trap that moisture inside. In Illinois, where we get hard winters and humid summers, that trapped moisture freezes, expands, and pushes the paint off in sheets. It also damages the mortar joints underneath. Our exterior painting service covers masonry surfaces with the same care — but brick specifically requires a masonry primer and a breathable finish coat, not standard exterior latex paint.

Brick Must Be Cleaned and Dried Completely Before Any Primer Goes On

Dirt, mold, and efflorescence on brick surface block primer adhesion. Paint over a contaminated brick wall and the coating fails at the surface level — not years later, but within one season.

Mortar Joints Absorb Paint Differently Than the Brick Face

The mortar between bricks is more porous than the brick itself. Apply paint without accounting for this and you end up with uneven coverage — dark mortar lines showing through a light paint color.

Non-Breathable Paint Traps Moisture and Destroys Brick From Behind

Illinois homes with brick walls experience moisture movement through the wall year-round. Non-breathable paint stops that movement, traps moisture inside, and causes spalling, cracking, and paint failure that's expensive to repair.

Previously Painted Brick Has to Be Assessed Before Adding Another Coat

Painted brick that's already peeling can't just get another layer on top. The existing failing paint has to come off first — or the new coat peels with it before the next winter hits.

Everything Included in Our Brick Painting Service in Orland Park

When you book brick painting with Adamson Painting Services, you get a complete masonry painting job — surface prep, primer, and finish coat with the right products for brick — not the same process used on wood or drywall.

Brick Surface Cleaning and Efflorescence Removal

We clean the brick thoroughly — removing dirt, mold, and white efflorescence deposits before any primer is applied — so the coating bonds to the brick, not to surface contamination.

We check mortar joints for gaps, cracks, and crumbling areas and flag any that need tuck-pointing before painting — painting over damaged mortar seals in problems that get worse over time.

A breathable masonry-specific primer goes on before the finish coat — penetrating the brick surface and providing the adhesion layer that makes the paint actually stay on the wall.

We apply a breathable exterior masonry coating — Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore masonry products — that allows moisture to move through the wall while protecting the surface from weather and UV.

Two coats go on — the first coat seals the varied porosity between brick and mortar, the second coat provides even, consistent color across the entire wall surface.

We walk the finished brick wall with you before leaving — checking coverage on mortar joints, corners, and any detail areas — and clean up all materials before we leave the property.

Why Orland Park Homeowners Choose Adamson Painting for Brick Painting

What Painted Brick Looks Like When the Right Product and Process Are Used

Even color across every brick and mortar joint. A wall that looks intentionally painted — not like someone rolled latex paint over raw brick and hoped for the best. The mortar lines disappear into the color instead of showing through.

Brick Painting Across Cook County, IL — Homes and Commercial Buildings

Adamson Painting Services handles brick painting throughout Cook County — residential homes, commercial storefronts, and any exterior masonry surface that needs professional coating.

Residential Brick Painting for Cook County Homeowners

Homeowners in Berwyn, Oak Park, and Brookfield call us for brick painting on front facades, side walls, garage fronts, and chimney stacks. Many of these are older homes with brick that has been painted before — we assess the existing paint condition before adding another coat on top.

Commercial Brick Painting for Storefronts and Buildings

Retail storefronts, restaurants, and commercial buildings across Cook County with brick facades call us when the exterior needs refreshing. We've handled commercial brick painting for business owners in Forest Park, Broadview, and Arlington Heights — scheduled around business hours and done with the right masonry products for commercial exposure.

Pre-Sale and Property Renovation Brick Painting

Real estate agents and sellers in Cook County who have brick homes know that faded or stained brick is one of the first things buyers notice at the curb. Our brick painting service paired with our siding painting handles mixed-material exteriors where brick and siding both need refreshing before a listing goes live.

The Painter Showing Up Knows the Difference Between Masonry Paint and Wall Paint

That sounds obvious — but a lot of crews use whatever they have on the truck. Wrong product on brick is hard to fix and expensive to redo. Adamson Painting Services is a licensed, insured Illinois painting company that handles masonry painting — brick, concrete, and stone — as part of our regular exterior work across Cook County. We give honest estimates, we tell you if the brick has issues before we paint over them, and we use breathable masonry products every time. Call today and get your free estimate in 5 minutes — +1 (708)-607-5887.

What We Actually Do on a Brick Painting Job — From First Look to Final Coat

Brick painting has more prep than almost any other exterior job. Here's exactly what happens from the time we arrive to the time we walk the finished wall with you.

Step 1

Brick and Mortar Assessment

We inspect every section of brick — checking for efflorescence, damaged mortar, existing paint failure, and moisture signs before selecting prep method and products.

Step 2

Power Wash and Surface Cleaning

The entire brick surface gets thoroughly power washed — removing dirt, mold, and loose contamination before any chemical treatment or primer is applied.

Step 3

Efflorescence Treatment

White mineral deposits on the brick get treated with efflorescence remover and rinsed completely — leaving them in place causes paint failure from behind the new coat.

Step 4

Remove Failing Existing Paint Where Present

Any sections of previously applied paint that are peeling or failing get removed before the new coat goes on — new paint over failing old paint peels with it.

Step 5

Mask Windows, Trim, and Adjacent Surfaces

All windows, trim, and surrounding surfaces get masked before primer goes on — masonry paint overspray on glass and trim is difficult to clean after it cures.

Step 6

Apply Breathable Masonry Primer

Masonry-specific primer penetrates the brick surface across the full wall — providing the adhesion layer the finish coat needs and sealing the varied porosity between brick and mortar.

Step 7

Apply Two Coats of Masonry Finish Paint

Two full coats of breathable masonry exterior coating go on — even coverage across brick faces and mortar joints, consistent color from edge to edge of the wall.

Step 8

Final Walkthrough and Cleanup

We walk the entire wall with you in natural light — checking coverage on mortar joints, corners, and trim edges — then remove masking and clean up before leaving.
