Why do people restain a perfectly good house?
Because they never picked the brick. One couple we worked with had a big, beautiful home in a nice neighborhood. They just did not like the color, so we stained the entire house, a $32,000 full makeover, and now it is the house they actually wanted.
What does a full home makeover cost?
We do not quote by the square foot. Two houses the same size can need very different work: one wall might take one coat, another might take four coats and a custom-mixed color every few feet. We price by what your house actually needs, and you get it in writing.
Compare that honestly with paint: about $10,000 to $15,000 up front, then roughly $10,000 again every few years, forever, while the paint film damages the brick underneath. Brick staining vs painting has the full math.
How do you pick the new color?
On your wall, not on a screen. We stain a sample area on your actual brick and tune it, coat by coat, until it is exactly what you pictured. Darker, richer, warmer, grayer, almost anything is on the table. See what brick stain colors are possible. The sample panel costs $1,800 and is credited toward your job.
What is it like while we work?
A crew of four, about 7 to 10 days, brushing mineral stain into each brick by hand. No spray overspray, no plastic sheeting over your windows for weeks, no smell of paint. You watch the house change wall by wall, and when we leave you get the lifetime warranty in writing.
