Nextdoor Neighborhood FavoriteOn a Brentwood brick home, fresh paint on the trim changes the whole look from the street: bright casings, a crisp cornice, and shutters and a front door with real depth of color. The brick carries itself for decades, so the painted details are what make a house look cared for, and they're also what the weather wears down first.
Keeping that trim crisp comes down to preparation: scraping and sanding the old coats, priming bare wood, caulking every joint and bringing each line back to sharp. It's detailed, patient work, and we'd be glad to walk the house with you and show you what yours needs. You'll find the thinking behind our standard in Alan's story.
Brick may cover most of the walls, but the painted pieces are what give a Brentwood home its polish from the street, and each one takes its own preparation.
Side and rear elevations, dormers and bonus-room gables are often clad in Hardie or wood siding even when the front is all brick. Siding painters give those planes the same wash, scrape and prime as the trim, so the back of the house doesn't lag years behind the front.
Crown and dentil molding under the eaves, window casings, fascia and soffits make up the long painted lines of a brick house. Each is scraped to a firm edge, bare wood is spot-primed, knots get a stain-blocking primer and every seam is caulked before the finish coats go on.
Unpainted brick usually just needs cleaning. Brick that's already painted can be washed and recoated in a breathable masonry finish, and painting brick for the first time is a decision worth making slowly, with your HOA and the long-term upkeep both in mind.
Shutters are often the one place a Brentwood exterior carries a deeper color, and they fade first on the sunny side. Front doors are prepared and brushed to a smooth enamel or refinished in stain, and garage door painters take care that the big panels match the trim rather than competing with it.
Front porches with square or round columns, and back porches that open onto the yard, get their ceilings cleaned, their column bases checked for soft wood and their railings brushed one baluster at a time.
Stucco bands, masonry window heads and painted chimney caps show up on many Brentwood homes. Stucco painters clean them gently, patch hairline cracks and choose a finish that lets the masonry breathe.
“He did an amazing job on the exterior trim of our home and we HIGHLY recommend him & his company!!”
On a Brentwood street it's the painted details, more than the walls, that tell you a house has been looked after.
Dentil molding is lovely from the sidewalk and slow work up close. Every block has faces, edges and gaps that collect old paint and hold moisture, and a crisp cornice depends on each one being cleaned, primed where it's bare and brushed without drips. Our exterior painters bring the same patience to the long runs of fascia and the casings around every window.
Shutters, the front door and the garage door are the accents of a brick facade, and they're where color choices matter most. We help you choose a shutter and door color that works with the brick's own tones, and look at samples outside in real light before anything is ordered. Many families pair this with fresh color indoors, and the interior of a Brentwood home often follows the same palette.
Painted brick has become a popular look, and it can modernize a house beautifully, but it's a commitment: once brick is painted, it stays painted and needs repainting over the years. We'll talk through the look, the upkeep and your HOA's view before recommending it, and when it's the right call the brick is cleaned and coated with a breathable masonry product.
Exterior house painting begins with a slow walk around the outside with you, noting failing paint, open joints and any wood that's gone soft, and it becomes an itemized written estimate that shows the preparation line by line.
Trim, siding and porches are washed to lift dirt, chalk and any mildew on the north side. With the surfaces clean, every joint and board is checked again before prep begins.
Loose paint comes off down to a sound edge, bare wood is spot-primed, knots are sealed with a stain-blocking primer and open joints along casings and molding are caulked so water can't get behind the new finish.
Finish coats go on when the surface is dry and the temperature and humidity fall within what the paint is made for. A strong color change or a weathered surface usually calls for two coats, and your estimate spells out what yours needs. It helps to know when it's too cold to paint outside, and why dew matters as much as the thermometer.
At the end we walk every side of the house with you, looking at trim lines, shutters and doors up close, and anything that needs attention is taken care of before we pack up.

Alan stained a covered pergola for us and did an awesome job. Perfect detail just as he did painting a bathroom for us several years ago. Highly recommend Alan.
Alan painted the exterior of my house with meticulous care, identified some rotten wood and connected me with a terrific carpenter to repair it, refinished two antique doors, and re-plastered a room that was a mixture of cracked plaster, wallpaper, and drywall. He gives detailed estimates upfront and works efficiently but carefully. Highly recommended.
Alan painted all trim and siding of the exterior of house. Such quality work and professionalism! He and staff did an excellent job! Always available for questions. Very Dependable and kept the job site clean after each day. We will definitely be using Alan for any future painting projects. Thanks so much Alan! 5 Star work for sure!! 🙌
Highly highly highly recommend! Alan and his team painted the exterior of our house in the Bellevue area. Due to our oddly built home, it needed extra attention with all this rain and Alan did not rest until everything looked exquisite! His communication is superb, which is hard to come by.
There's no flat rate for exterior house painting, because a Brentwood exterior can be mostly brick with a little trim or a great deal of painted detail. These six factors decide the number, and your written estimate itemizes each. A useful companion to this section is how to compare painting quotes fairly.
Two-story foyers and tall gables mean taller ladders, and sometimes a lift.
Brick-only fronts need little; Hardie or wood side walls add wash, prime and paint.
Scraping, caulking and any soft trim to replace are often the largest share.
Dentil molding, many window casings and a full set of shutters take time.
Separate colors for trim, shutters, door and garage each add a careful pass.
Work happens in dry, suitable conditions, which can spread a job over more days.
