Painted Brick Regret? Here’s the Fix You Didn’t Know Existed

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 brick.

What We Do Is Not Repainting — It’s Restoration

At The Brick Painters Ltd., we don’t blast it off or strip it with harsh chemicals.And we definitely don’t repaint it with a flat, one‑colour spray job that leaves brick looking lifeless and forgettable.We apply our proprietary faux-finish technique — perfected over decades — to make your painted brick look like real brick again, with texture, depth, and authentic variation.What we do isn’t a flat coat of paint — it’s a handcrafted, brick-by-brick transformation.The result? A surface that looks like authentic brick — not like something trying to cover it up. A decision you’ll be proud of. Not another unsightly mistake.

Avoid the Spray & Pray Crew

We’ve seen it too many times. Crews show up with a sprayer, coat your brick with yet another lifeless paint colour, cash the cheque, and move on.But all it really says is: "I wish there was a better option… but I couldn’t find one."

All they’ve really done is double down on the original mistake — burying the beauty of your brick even further.The finish is flat. The look? The neighbours are already whispering — and not in a good way.And the regret hits before the paint is even dry.

Our process brings it back to life — no demolition, no costly blasting, no dangerous chemical stripping. Just masterful technique designed to make people look twice.And more often than not, they do exactly that — then say:“I don’t believe my eyes.”

And that’s exactly why our tagline is: You won’t believe your eyes.
