Ugly brick, big dilemma
Honestly, our brick is a weird orange-brown that clashes with everything, including our roof. I've been scrolling photos of whitewashed homes for weeks, but I'm scared of trapped moisture and constant touch ups. What should I weigh before deciding? Recommendations for experienced brick house painters in Arizona would really help.

I get the temptation when the brick colour clashes with the rest of the house! We had a similar issue with our exterior, and before painting, a contractor explained how moisture, drainage and the condition of the mortar could affect the result. A neighbour went ahead with white paint and later needed repairs where it began peeling, so I'd definitely get the brick inspected first. Consider maintenance, reversibility and a breathable coating too. This guide helped me understand the risks: painting brick house how long does it last . I'd seek a second opinion from an Arizona brick specialist.
