Exterior brick painting is definitely the more cost-effective solution when it comes to freshening up the outside of your home.

Average completion time for Exterior Brick Painting
Most people wonder how long it takes to paint the exterior brick of a house. There are many types and sizes of Toronto homes, but the entire process can take 2 to 3 days for smaller to medium-sized houses, and up to 7 to 14 days for larger projects.
What could affect the price of the Exterior Brick Painting?
The exterior brick painting costs of your home are influenced by several factors. Consider what follows when planning your exterior brick painting budget:
- The size of the job. Typically, the larger the job, the lower the price per unit.
- The difficulty of the job. A project of exterior brick painting will cost you more if you need it to reach areas that might be difficult to access (i.e. fixtures outside, oddly placed corners that require a special machine to reach). Such areas require extra effort and will incur more expenses.
- Preparation work required. Preparing the surface is essential for any exterior painting project. This also applies to exterior brick painting. We refer to preparation as removing plants, covering surfaces, and taping to ensure the paint does not reach undesired areas.
- Season- When it comes to exterior painting your home, fall is the best season to do so.
- How soon you want it done, and how fast you need it done. Your painting company might need to increase the price of the job by paying extra for overtime hours, moving a job, or canceling one.
- Payment terms i.e. Visa vs e-transfer. There are many reasons why clients may like to use their credit card; however, this payment method has a fee attached that increases the overall price.
- The number of coats that are involved. The number of coats involved depends on the color you choose. A higher number of coats means a higher price for exterior brick painting.
- If you hire a professional when it comes to painting, you may save money and time. A professional will be able to determine whether a surface is suitable for painting and ensure the job has been completed properly the first time.
Make arrangements with your professional painters in advance to complete some of the preparation work yourself and possibly save yourself some money. The painter’s life will be much simpler if the exterior has been cleaned and the amount of work he has to do will be lessened. As a result, the exterior brick painting process will cost you less.
Some common questions for Exterior Brick Painting
Will you include the paint, materials, and labor?
The total price for the project includes up to five colors of paint, as well as all materials and labor.
Do I have to move my own furniture before the painters come?
The general answer is yes, but this will increase your project’s duration and will result in an increase in your overall estimate. But, if there’s any oversized furniture that you cannot move on your own, it’s normally ok to ask them to give you a hand to move it a bit to allow them to paint.

3. Do you know the difference between brick painting and brick staining?
Brick Painting
Brick painting is the option to go with when you cannot stain your bricks — i.e. if there’s already a sealant or stain on the bricks. Basically, you can’t do a stain or sealant over top another stain.
Painting your bricks is a good option if you’re looking to really change up the colour and you want something long-lasting. We do offer a guarantee on our brick painting work for three years.
Going the brick painting route is often the less expensive option. So, if you’re looking for something more economical and budget-friendly, brick painting might be the right option for you.
Brick Staining
Brick staining offers a great longevity for the exterior of your home. If you go with brick stain, it’s the super durable option as the stain basically works to become a part of the brick. It repels water and dirt better than brick paint, which is always a consideration for classic Canadian weather — especially in Toronto!
Contrary to what you might think, you can get a brick stain in a variety of colours as well. So, your options are wide open. If you really want to show off the integrity of your brick, there are also clear and semi-transparent options when it comes to stain.
If you do it right, brick staining can really last a lifetime. It is slightly more expensive, but we also guarantee our brick staining work for 15 years.
Our expert recommendation is to go with brick staining whenever possible in order to get the best return on your investment in the long run.
