Brick Painting Company in Middle Tennessee

Take a cruise around our Nashville neighborhoods and you’ll pass a lot of brick homes. Maybe you live in one! Exterior brick is popular, and many homeowners enjoy the relatively low level of upkeep it requires.

But there’s one major downside to having a brick exterior in Nashville: you really never have the opportunity to update your style. It looks the same, year in and year out. And while some folks say unpainted brick is “timeless,” it’s really not. Brick color, shape, types of grout, sizing, etc. all pinpoint exactly which decade your home was built in, giving you that same dated look as an old paint job.

For all these reasons, you’re considering painting or staining your brick house. It’s time for a fresh look, and you’re exploring your options. Keep reading! We have some in-depth information for you, as well as a few tips to help you avoid costly mistakes.


Benefits of staining or painting brick

Did “increased property value” from brick painting catch your eye? It’s true! Especially for older brick homes that have a dated appearance, brick painting can have a substantial impact on marketability and overall value.


Understand our brick painting process

Before we dig into our process, we have to share a word of caution. If you don’t approach brick exterior painting the right way, the results can be disastrous.

Here’s a prime example: brick has to be able to breathe. If you use a regular exterior house paint, you’ll suffocate the surface and your paint job could fail within 3-4 years. We see it all the time, whether the house was painted as a do-it-yourself project, or by a painting company that didn't have the right product knowledge or expertise.

At Nash Painting, we have specific products that we use intentionally. If your brick has never been painted, and it’s painted the right way, that new paint job could easily last 20 years. That’s a HUGE value compared to more frequent, cheaper paint jobs that aren’t done right.

Here’s how we do it:

And yes, Sherwin Williams Loxon XP is a breathable product. As an extra benefit, it also stops efflorescence: salt working its way from the interior of the brick to the exterior, creating a powdery buildup.


How do you stain brick?

The process is much the same as it is for painting. The key difference here is that stain has a solid tint, is more watery, and doesn’t fill the surface holes like paint does since it’s so much thinner. It also doesn’t have mildewcide to protect against algae growth, and can discolor with time. This discoloration can also be caused by sprinklers, rain splashing off the ground, etc.

Brick staining does, however, tend to last longer than paint because there’s really no “coating” to fail or wear. While those are certainly benefits, paint tends to come out ahead in a number of key ways.


Why choose Nash Painting?

First and foremost, because we do the job right. Sound simplistic? Only in written form. In reality, it means no cut corners, total transparency, high-end products we believe in, and standing by our work to a degree that most professional painters won’t… and can’t.

When you’re painting exterior brick, this is what you need. The project is too technical and too important to trust the process to just anyone, or to hunt for a bargain.

Here are a few more reasons why you should choose us as your exterior painter:


Brick Painting FAQ

What brick painting services do you offer?

Brick painting and staining.

Does painting brick increase property value?

Yes! Brick is not a timeless look: different decades had trademark brick styles. Painting makes it much harder to date a home, and creates a more modern aesthetic.

Does painting brick damage it?

Only if you use the wrong products and approach. Your paint has to be breathable: standard exterior house paints will suffocate the surface, incurring damage and drastically shortening the life of your paint job.

How long does painted brick last for?

If your brick has never been painted and the process is done right, by professional painters, your paint job could last 20 years.

How do I clean painted brick?

Gently! We recommend a soft wash: even a garden house will do.

What sheen should I paint my brick?

It used to be that flat was the only option, but there are now satin products available with a bit more sheen. There are pros and cons here: satin shows more imperfections and is harder to touch up, but it’s also easier to clean. Flat is easier to touch up and more forgiving of your surfaces, but definitely can retain more dirt. Our recommendation is flat paint for your brick wall and satin for your trim.

What our Customers Say

Nash Painting is probably the most professional and reliable home services contractor I have ever used.

Jack Powell on 11/23

We had a wonderful experience with Nash Painting on a full interior job. They were prompt in scheduling an estimate, fair with pricing based on other estimates we received, and very prompt in scheduling our project. They took three days to paint the entire interior of a ~1800 sq ft home, including trim. The crew was very courteous, on-time, and clean. I will certainly use them again when we need exterior painting done!

Anita Carter on 06/22

Working with Linda and Bill was a true pleasure from our first communication to the completion of the project. Linda was there to answer all questions and their team was very polite and professional. The painting was absolutely perfect and we couldn't be happier. I will definitely call Linda and Bill for our future projects. Thank you Nash Painting, you deliver on every promise!

Nash painting was great to work with. They worked around my schedule and were very accommodating. They crew was very professional and courteous. They were not the cheapest nor the most expensive bid I got but I was pleased with the service and outcome. Definitely will use them in the future and highly recommend them.

David Ingram on 04/22

Nash Painting has completed several jobs for us, most recently interior and exterior painting in 2021: The three-floor stairwell and 2nd floor hallway inside our home early in the year, and the exteriors of our house, guest cottage, and detached garage in the summer. They also did some carpentry work on the cottage. We have always been very pleased with the quality of the work, the professionalism of the staff and painters, and the cleanup. We highly recommend Nash Painting.

Timothy McNamara on 05/22

Nash Painting just did our kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Wow!!! Great work, on time, meticulous details!!! Our area was cleaner when they left than when they got there.. The carpentry crew and the paint crew both took extreme pride in their work and our satisfaction!! Thank you Nash Painting! Look for us to call you again !

Bill Putman on 10/22

Best painting experience I’ve ever had. The team was professional, always showing up on time, and completed the project by the deadline. They even came back to touch up a few small things I noticed! Worth it for both quality and dependability.

Sarah VanArsdal on 11/23

Nash Painting painted our deck, and I could not have been happier with the process or the work. The quote was exactly what we were expected to pay, they were accommodating of our schedule, they helped us when we had trouble trying to get the color match we needed, and the work itself was done quickly and well.
