The Ultimate Guide to Painting Brick Homes in Nashville

Painting brick homes has become increasingly popular in Nashville, especially in neighborhoods like East Nashville and Sylvan Park. Whether you're looking for a modern whitewash or a dramatic dark exterior, painting brick is an affordable way to give your home a custom, upscale look. But it takes the right technique—and the right team.

Why Homeowners Paint BrickUnpainted brick can look dated or clash with updated landscaping and trim. Painting it provides instant curb appeal and a clean, refreshed aesthetic. It's especially effective for homes with older, multicolor brick patterns that don’t match today’s style preferences.

Specialized Prep for Brick SurfacesBrick requires more than a simple coat of paint. We begin by cleaning the brick thoroughly and letting it fully dry. Then, we use breathable, masonry-safe primers and paints that prevent moisture from becoming trapped beneath the surface. This is crucial in Nashville’s humid climate.

Choose a Timeless Color SchemeWe’ve helped many homeowners achieve stunning looks with off-whites, charcoal grays, and deep blues. Want to keep the texture but lighten things up? We also offer limewash and whitewash techniques for a softer, historic look.
