Painted Brick Regret? Get the Natural Look Back With Stain
Paint looked great for a minute—until it started to peel and trap moisture. Masonry stain is different: it penetrates, stays breathable, and looks like real brick (not a painted film). We help Oregon homeowners undo painted brick and choose a color you approve with a sample panel in 72 hours.
Your options
Strip + Restain (best, true natural look): We remove the coating, then stain brick, stone and mortar so everything blends.
Stain Over Certain Coatings (case-by-case): Some coatings can stay if they’re sound and compatible. We test a small area first.
Why stain beats repainting
Won’t peel: Vapor-permeable—lets walls dry.
Natural finish: You keep brick texture and variation.
Low maintenance: No repaint treadmill.
