Fort Worth is a city of brick homes. From mid-century ranch houses in established neighborhoods to newer construction throughout Tarrant and Parker Counties, brick is the dominant exterior material in the region. When a brick home\'s exterior needs freshening, homeowners often wonder whether painting the brick is the right approach, and Bearcat Painting is able to give them an honest, experience-based answer. Unpainted brick in good condition generally does not need to be painted and is best maintained with a breathable masonry sealer that protects the mortar without trapping moisture. However, brick that has already been painted, brick with significant color variation or staining that the homeowner wants to address, or brick that is part of a home the owner wants to give a more contemporary look are all candidates for professional painting or treatment. When painting brick is the right choice, the process must be done correctly. Bearcat Painting cleans the brick surface thoroughly, uses a masonry primer appropriate for the specific brick and mortar type, and applies exterior paint products formulated for masonry that allow the wall to breathe rather than sealing moisture inside. This approach avoids the peeling, spalling, and moisture damage that can result from using the wrong products on brick.
