Painting brick is one of the few exterior choices you cannot undo, which is why this project in Superior, CO started with color renderings, not a paintbrush. The homeowners could see the finished look before a single coat went on, so they committed to a permanent change with confidence.

The result is a white painted brick house with an Alabaster body, Pure White trim, and a Van Courtland Blue front door. The brick and siding were coated in Sherwin-Williams Duration exterior paint, chosen because painted brick has to hold up against the weather for the long haul.

This exterior painting project also folded in siding repair and new gutters before any color went on, so the homeowners in Superior, near Louisville, handled it all with one contractor. Start to finish, the work took three days.

Background Story: The homeowners came in as a referral from friends A New View had painted the year before, and their main concern was the one that stops many people from painting brick: choosing a color they could not undo. To take the risk out of that decision, A New View built digital color renderings of the house, so the homeowners could see each option on their own exterior before committing.

After a few versions, they settled on Alabaster for the brick and body, Pure White for the trim, and Van Courtland Blue for the front door. Painting the brick was the biggest decision in the project, and it is what gives the home a clean, timeless look that sets it apart from its neighbors.

The exterior also needed siding repairs and new gutters, so that work was completed first and rolled into the same project. That saved the homeowners from lining up separate contractors and kept the whole exterior on one timeline.

Scope of Services:

• Digital Color Renderings: The home was rendered in each color option so the homeowners could preview the result before committing.
• Brick and Siding Painting: The brick and siding were coated in Alabaster for a clean, warm white across the body.
• Trim Painting: The trim was painted in Pure White to sharpen the edges against the body.
• Front Door Painting: The front door was finished in Van Courtland Blue as a focal point.
• Siding Repair: Damaged siding was repaired before any paint went on.
• Gutter Installation: New gutters were installed as part of the same project.

Paint Products Used:

• Brick and Siding: Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior in Alabaster SW 7008
• Trim: Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior in Pure White SW 7005
• Front Door: Benjamin Moore Van Courtland Blue

Project Cost: This project came to $11,500, which covered the brick and body repaint, the trim and front door, the siding repairs, and new gutters. Pricing on a painted brick project varies with the size of the home, the condition of the brick and siding, and how much repair work is needed up front.

Results: The home now reads as a clean white painted brick house with crisp Pure White trim and a Van Courtland Blue door that draws the eye to the entry. The painted brick is what separates it from the other homes on the street, and the repairs underneath mean it is protected, not just repainted. Finishing in three days, with the siding and gutter work included, meant one project instead of three.
