Google is your friend.

Google ”brick house painted.” Then select ”images” on the horizontal menu across the top. Bingo.

IMO that is the fastest way to devalue your home and without pics of your house how do we know what you are dealing with . IMO you take a material that is really almose totally maintenace free and do a finish that requires constant maintenance not to mention I do not ever like the look of exterior brick painted .

soooo .. if i understand.. you dont really mind the front facade ... its more the sides that are bothering you ... thats where the monotone is.. to your eye ... i guess i dont know why you would not just change the sides??? but boy.. looking at the side .. i have no clue where i would go with those vertical lines .... and that tiny window... yikes ... but i still like the front as it is ... part of your side problem.. could be accomplished with trellises.. and introducing a vertical element to your foundation plantings ... that is part of the problem... the vast unbroken wall ... leading you to one vast unbroken color.. whatever it may be ... and i am still flustered by the vertical rather than horizontal siding.. whats that all about.. lol ... just playing devils advocate.. and adding variables for you to consider.. outside the box you are standing in .. props for hunting the area to scope out other paint schemes... its always nice to see it done wrong... lol ... ken

kbmas0n, No my kitchen isn't in the FKB. Everytime I go to take a lot of pics, they're either blurry or I have stuff all over the counters! I'll work on it one of these days. The white cabs are just a creamy white (kelly moore), but I don't remember the name and the glaze is a brown I picked up at Lowes and gave to my cabinet guy. The outer cabs are knotty alder, with some sort of dark stain my cabinet guy came up with. The island top is dark walnut and the floors are oak. appliances are subzero, dacor df, monorgram convection/mico, monogram compactor, miele dw, copper main sink, and shaws prep sink. Once I get some decent pics, I'll see if starpooh will put in the fkb. Thanks

Exterior paint color advice for brick ranch
Q
Comments (6)
Thanks for the feedback! And thanks for affirming my instinct to keep shutters and to do white windows bc it is such a traditional house. I’m leaning toward painting brick shade of white with maybe a tan shutter and dark wood door with glass panes. We were toying with dark windows bc we have seen house in our neighborhood doing it but couldn’t tell it that was really the right look for our house.

I have lighter brick (pink) with red siding and some areas of red decorative vertical metal siding with cream trim. One of my many projects (renovating stem to stern) is painting the red metal to match the siding and along with power washing everything, repainting trim and treating everything with once and done (keeps mildew from growing). Already painted the garage door, but don't have a current picture.

IMO a Romabio wash looks better than solid paint, but if you want advice that is tailored to your situation you need to post a picture of your house. Unless your brick is particularly unsightly, any sort of coating is not recommended by most professionals. Start with a powerwash to see if that helps.

Why? Do you have really ugly brick? If it's not a butt-ugly brick then leave it alone. Painting bricks mucks up something that in its original state is virtually maintenance-free and I would agree with above -- devalues the home. I bought a previous home that had painted brick. After some of if peeled away I could see why they did it -- it was that hideous pink brick you used to see way back when. Nothing looks good with pink brick roof or trim-wise, so I get it. But, I did have to pay $$$ to get the whole exterior repainted because of the peeling. Circle back to comment above re: mucking up a maintenance-free material...

But unless you have a truly ghastly brick color, do your refresh with new trim/siding, even roof and gutters, not brick painting.
