Tampa's Trusted Brick Painting Company
Painted brick can transform a Tampa home faster and cheaper than almost any other update. A red brick ranch turned crisp white. A dated 1980s fireplace given a soft limewash. A backyard chimney finally matched to the trim. Whether you want to modernize a full brick exterior or add a single dramatic accent wall, brick painting is one of the highest impact upgrades you can make. Tampa Painting is a licensed and insured masonry painting specialist headquartered in Brandon, serving brick homeowners across South Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and the wider Tampa Bay area. We use breathable masonry coatings, elastomeric finishes, and specialty techniques like limewash and German smear when the project calls for it. Many brick exterior projects fold in residential exterior painting for the trim, soffits, and siding so the whole house finishes as one coordinated look. Interior brick clients often add cabinet painting in the same scope to update the rest of the room around a freshly painted fireplace. From a single chimney refresh to a full brick ranch repaint, every brick job runs through the same prep standard, the same breathable coatings, and the same written warranty.
Brick Surfaces We Paint
From the dated brick ranch facade that defines so many Tampa neighborhoods to the small backyard chimney nobody notices until the rest of the house gets painted, we refinish every brick surface across Tampa Bay with breathable masonry coatings rated for Florida humidity and salt air. Whether the brick is on a coastal home in Apollo Beach or a 1950s bungalow inland, every project starts with a careful look at the existing mortar, the brick condition, and whether the surface needs paint, stain, limewash, or a German smear treatment.

Brick Painting Projects Across Tampa Bay
Full Brick Exterior Painting
Going from red brick to white, gray, or a designer specified color across the entire front of the house. We pressure wash, repoint mortar where needed, and apply elastomeric masonry coatings that flex with Tampa heat while letting the brick breathe. Most full exterior projects also include trim, fascia, and soffits in the same scope.
Brick Accent Wall Painting
Interior brick accent walls in renovated bungalows and master planned homes throughout Carrollwood refreshed with breathable interior masonry coatings. Common in living rooms, entryways, and modern farmhouse great rooms where a single statement wall ties the whole space together.
Brick Fireplace Painting
Brick Color Changes
Already painted brick that needs a refresh or color match. We touch up problem areas, color match the existing finish, and reseal where mildew or chalking has set in. If we find damaged drywall behind interior brick, we also handle drywall repair in the same scope.
Limewash and German Smear
Two specialty techniques that have taken Tampa renovations by storm. Limewash gives brick a soft, lived in patina that mellows over time. German smear creates an old world textured finish that looks like centuries old European brick. Both let the original brick read through, instead of looking flat painted.
Why Tampa Homeowners Trust Our Brick Painters
Licensed Hillsborough County painters, breathable masonry coatings, mortar repair included, and a written warranty on every brick surface we touch. From the first inspection to the final walkthrough, we treat painted brick like the long term investment it is. Homeowners across Riverview trust us with full brick exteriors that have stood for decades and need a finish built to last another two.
Masonry Rated Coatings
Premium breathable masonry coatings formulated to bond with brick, flex with Florida heat, and let trapped moisture release instead of causing the finish to bubble or peel.
Mortar Repair Included
Cracked, missing, or weathered mortar gets repointed and repaired before any paint goes on. Skipping this step is the number one reason painted brick fails through Tampa's wet season.
Limewash and German Smear Specialists
Two specialty brick techniques most painters do not offer. We bring the materials, the experience, and the eye for the textured patina effect you cannot get from a roller and a can of paint.
Breathable Paint Systems
Brick needs to breathe. Standard exterior paint traps moisture inside the brick, which leads to spalling and finish failure. We use coatings engineered specifically to let masonry release moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brick Painting
Can brick be painted?
Yes, with the right system. Brick must be cleaned, mortar repaired, primed with a masonry primer, and finished with a breathable masonry coating. Painters who skip those steps cause the failures that give painted brick a bad reputation. Done correctly, painted brick holds up for years.
Will painting my brick trap moisture or cause damage?
What is limewash and what is German smear?
Limewash is a thinned, lime based paint that soaks into the brick for a soft, weathered patina that mellows over time. German smear is a wet mortar mixture troweled and brushed across the brick face so some of the brick texture shows through. Both are specialty techniques that let the original brick read through the finish, instead of looking flat painted.
How long does painted brick last in Florida?
Properly painted brick with breathable masonry coatings should hold up 15 to 20 years before needing a refresh, sometimes longer. Limewash develops a patina from year one and can be left to mellow naturally or re coated every 5 to 7 years. German smear is generally permanent once cured.
Can I paint my brick fireplace?
Absolutely. We protect the hearth, mantel, and surrounding flooring, then apply masonry primer and finish coats rated for the heat exposure around a working fireplace. Limewash and German smear treatments are very popular for fireplaces specifically because they update the look without making the brick look flat.
How much does brick painting cost in Tampa?
A full brick exterior repaint usually runs $4,500 to $9,000 depending on square footage, prep needs, and coating spec. A single fireplace refresh runs $500 to $1,500. Limewash and German smear projects are priced individually based on the technique, application time, and finish color. Every quote is itemized.
