Once brick has been painted, preservation is no longer about returning to untouched material, but about correcting the building’s appearance without forcing the look or overdoing it. That same attention extends to the building’s architectural details such as brick courses, bands, window surrounds, and other features that shape how the façade is read. These are not decorative add-ons. They are part of the structure’s visual logic. Re-establishing them prevents the work from fl

(You Won’t Believe Your Eyes!) When the owners moved into this home, the brick was already painted — and something about it never felt right. At first, it was hard to put into words. The house had good bones. The proportions were there. But the brick felt flat and lifeless, as if the home’s personality had been muted. Over time, that quiet dissatisfaction only grew. What should have felt solid and confident began to feel dull and unresolved. Like many homeowners in this situa

Let’s be honest . Most people want it done fast and cheap. They see brick painting as cosmetic — just another coat of colour slapped over what’s already there. What they often don’t realize is that there’s a real solution — one that respects the brick, restores the home, and tells the story it was meant to tell. There’s a real solution — and that’s where we come in. We don’t compete on price — we deliver outcomes. Outcomes that transform how a home looks — and how it feels

We repaint painted brick — the right way. At The Brick Painters Ltd. , we don’t demolish. We don’t strip. We repaint previously painted brick  using a layered, hand-applied faux-finish technique that restores the look of natural brick and mortar — one brick at a time . Serving Toronto and Ottawa , we help homeowners fix bad brick paint jobs with a finish that looks like real authentic brick, lasts, and actually suits the building. No shortcuts. No sloppy coatings. No regret.

Most homeowners with painted brick didn’t choose to paint it themselves . They inherited the mistake — whether it was a previous owner, a flipper, a builder, or a well-meaning but short-sighted renovation years ago. At one point, painted brick was “in.” But like shag carpet or avocado-green appliances , that trend didn’t age well. The Problem Isn’t That Your Brick Was Painted. It’s That It Looks Like It Was. It’s flat . It’s lifeless . It lacks texture, depth, and character

It’s not that your brick was painted. It’s that it looks like it was. That’s the problem — and deep down, you know it. Whether it was done by a previous owner, a trendy paint crew, or a decision you made years ago that felt right at the time, the outcome is usually the same: What once had warmth, texture, and soul is now flat, fake, and lifeless. Painted brick chips. It fades. It traps moisture. And worst of all, it erases the natural character that makes brick feel like bric
