New Lenox Brick Has Its Own Challenges
New Lenox homes range from 1970s split-levels to newer developments off Laraway Road. The brick changes with the age, and so does the prep work.
Older brick is softer
Brick from the 70s and 80s is more porous than modern clay brick. It absorbs primer differently and needs a breathable coating so moisture doesn't get trapped.
Mortar loses its grip
Freeze-thaw cycles break down mortar over time. We repoint any loose sections before painting so the new coats have something solid to hold onto.
Newer brick is denser
Modern brick doesn't absorb as much. We use a different primer for these so the paint doesn't sit on the surface and peel.
Whether your house is off Cedar Road or near the Village Commons, we've painted brick in every neighborhood in New Lenox. We know what works on each kind of brick.

The Brick Work New Lenox Calls Us For
Most calls fall into one of three buckets. Same crew and same prep standard on all of them, different scope.
Full house exteriors
The whole house, front to back. This is the core of our exterior painting work, and what most New Lenox brick jobs are.
Chimneys and walls
Single chimneys and retaining walls that need repointing and painting. We do brick painting on any brick surface.
Brick plus siding combos
Houses with brick front and siding everywhere else. We tie the two together so it looks like one job.
A Crew That Knows Brick, Not Just Paint
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. New Lenox is about 35 minutes south, and we make that drive regularly. The person who prices your brick job is the person you'll see on the scaffolding.
We work Will County every week and we know these houses. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Hickory Street or near the Metra station. If a spot needs a touch-up a month later, we're close enough to swing back.
Brick work often pairs with other exterior jobs. Plenty of New Lenox customers add exterior painting or deck and fence staining once we're already on site.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every brick call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the house looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Wrong paint used. Non-breathable paint traps moisture and peels within two years.
Paint can't fix bad mortar. The cracks just show through the new coat.
One coat over dark brick leaves thin spots you can see from the street.
What you get
Breathable paint and proper primer mean no peeling in two years.
We repoint before we paint so the finish has a solid base.
Two coats and correct primer means no thin spots showing through.
True on every New Lenox brick job we take:
What the Brick Looks Like When We Leave
No thin spots. No paint on the windows. Mortar solid and the color even across every wall.
