Absolutely.  TheBrickPainters.com has developed a faux-finish technique that leaves an original appearance that even under the closest scrutiny, is virtually undetectable.  No two bricks are alike.  Each brick and the mortar will have a natural, variable range of colour throughout.  Yes, it looks very real.  A look that only TheBrickPainters.com can achieve!      

The Brick Painters faux finish process is recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a "Proper Method of Encapsulating Lead Based Paint", making our services a very "Green" approach to dealing with existing lead paint situations on previously painted brick. Don't hesitate to contact us at info@thebrickpainters.com or toll free at 877.653.4469 and our
"Certified EPA Lead Paint Technician" will be more than happy to answer all your concerns.

We would be happy to provide either, a sample panel which includes brick slices on a board, painted to your requested color, or, a sample painted on the wall of the project itself! Either way, each sample allows you the ability to scrutinize, up close, the look and feel of TheBrickPainters.com's applied finish. 

There is a lot to consider when comparing TheBrickPainters.com's faux-finish system to the hazardous chemicals involved in the stripping of paint, or in the destructive nature of sandblast paint removal.

Let's start with Chemical Stripping: 

As the name implies, harsh corrosive chemicals are used in order to remove the paint.  Consider the following questions:

• Is any of the paint to be removed lead-based?
• What are the complications and costs involved with the containment, collection, and disposal of chemical and waste run-off?
• Why was it painted in the first place?  What's underneath the paint?! 
• Is the paint merely masking unsightly repairs and mismatched brick?  You won't know until you've paid to have it stripped!

Now let's consider Sandblasting:

• Again we ask, before you pay for sandblasting, what's underneath the paint and why was it painted to begin with?
• Can the brick and mortar on your building withstand the abuse of sandblasting?  For example, the older and more historic a building is, the softer and more vulnerable the brick and mortar is. 
• Have you talked to people who have experienced the results and ramifications of sandblasting?
• What is the cost of the inevitable mortar repointing after sandblasting?

And finally, TheBrickPainters.com option:

• We provide the natural appearance of authentic brick and mortar without having to answer any of the above questions . . . and at a fraction of their cost!
