Bolingbrook Brick Has Its Own Challenges
Bolingbrook homes range from 1960s ranches to newer builds, with a lot of brick on the exterior. That brick absorbs moisture, and when it's painted wrong, the paint peels within a year or two.
Freeze-thaw cycles
Bolingbrook winters go from freezing to thawing and back. Water trapped in brick expands and pushes paint off. We use breathable paint that lets moisture out.
Efflorescence buildup
Salt deposits on Bolingbrook brick are common. If you paint over them, the salts push the paint off. We treat them first so the paint stays.
Mixed brick and siding
Many Bolingbrook houses have brick on the front and siding on the rest. We match the color across both surfaces. See our siding painting page for the full exterior.
Painting brick isn't like painting drywall. Use the wrong paint and you trap moisture inside the wall, which leads to spalling. We use the right materials for Bolingbrook brick.
How We Paint Brick in Bolingbrook
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a chimney off Boughton Road or a full house exterior.
Inspect and quote
We check the brick condition, look for loose mortar, and write the price before we leave.
Clean the surface
Pressure wash and scrub dirt, moss, and loose paint off the brick.
Treat efflorescence
Apply neutralizer to salt deposits so they don't cause peeling later.
Repair mortar cracks
Fill cracks in the mortar with a flexible caulk that moves with the house.
Apply masonry primer
Seal the brick with primer designed for masonry surfaces.
Spray and backroll
First coat sprayed on, then backrolled to push paint into every pore.
Second coat
Full second coat once the first has dried. Even coverage across the whole surface.
Clean and walkthrough
Ground sheets removed, tools packed, then we walk it with you.

A Crew That Knows Brick, Not a General Handyman
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Bolingbrook is about 25 minutes southwest, which is why we can usually get out for an estimate the same week you call. The person who prices your job is the person you'll see on the scaffolding.
We've painted brick across Will County for years. We know which primer to use on older brick, which paint breathes properly, and how to handle the freeze-thaw cycle that ruins less careful work. If a spot needs a touch-up a month later, we're close enough to swing back.
Brick painting often pairs with other exterior work. Many Bolingbrook customers add deck and fence staining or siding painting once we're already booked in.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the brick looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Cheap paint or no primer lets moisture push the paint off the brick surface.
Efflorescence coming through the paint because the salts weren't treated first.
One coat of thin paint doesn't cover dark brick. Looks blotchy from the street.
What you get
Two coats, masonry primer, breathable paint, and proper prep. It holds up through every season.
Salt treated, primer applied, and two full coats rolled and sprayed for even coverage.
Breathable paint lets water vapor escape so the brick doesn't spall or crumble.
