Expert Brick Painting and Treatments in Ottawa
Does your home’s exterior feel stuck in the past? Many Ottawa homeowners struggle with the frustration of outdated orange or red brick that clashes with modern aesthetics, or worse, masonry that looks tired and neglected. You might be hesitant to touch the brickwork, fearing that the wrong product could peel, flake, or trap moisture, leading to expensive structural damage during our harsh winters. The anxiety of finding a contractor who understands the science of brick painting Ottawa climates require—rather than just slapping on a coat of latex—can be overwhelming.

Our brick painting Ottawa services do more than just look good; they protect your investment.

Whitewashing brick house exteriors or updating to a modern palette is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase home value. It delivers a massive return on investment by instantly modernizing the property’s aesthetic. Whether you plan to sell or stay, our treatments provide a high-impact visual upgrade that makes your home the envy of the neighbourhood.
We believe in transparency. For most of our standard brick treatment services, we offer Fixed Price quotes. This means you won’t be hit with surprise “material surcharges” or “unexpected labor costs” halfway through the job. You will know exactly what the transformation costs before we start, allowing you to budget with confidence
Ottawa Owned. Ottawa Proud.
When you search for brick painting Ottawa, you are looking for more than just a colour change; you are looking for a transformation that lasts. Our service process is designed specifically for the unique challenges of the National Capital Region. Unlike general painters who treat brick like drywall, we understand that masonry is a porous material that needs to “breathe.”
Our Deep-Dive process begins with a meticulous assessment of your brick’s condition. We identify issues like efflorescence (salt deposits), spalling, or mortar deterioration before we even open a can of paint. We utilize advanced techniques like exterior brick staining and mineral-based coatings. These products penetrate the surface rather than sitting on top, ensuring that moisture can escape. This prevents the catastrophic peeling often seen on amateur jobs after an Ottawa freeze-thaw cycle.
We treat your home with unparalleled care. From masking off windows and landscaping to ensuring a spotless cleanup, our team is meticulous. We handle the technical details—pressure washing, fungicidal treatments, and precise application—so you can enjoy the sensory experience of a fresh, modern home. Whether it’s a “German Schmear” in the Glebe or a sleek charcoal stain in Westboro, we deliver exceptional craftsmanship that elevates your curb appeal instantly.

Jennifer R., Kanata
"I hated the dark, gloomy red brick on our 1980s home in Kanata. I was terrified to paint it because I've heard horror stories about peeling. The team at My Ottawa Handyman explained the difference between latex and proper exterior brick staining. They used a breathable stain, and the house looks brand new—like a modern custom build. The crew was meticulous and finished on time."
Marc D., Barrhaven
"We wanted to brighten up our living room by whitewashing brick house fireplace. It was a small job, and other contractors wouldn't even call us back. These guys gave us a fixed price over the phone and did the job two days later. It looks incredible, exactly the farmhouse vibe we wanted. Super clean work!"
Sarah L., Centretown,

It transformed the look of the business. Their immediate response to my quote request was the deciding factor."

Frequently Asked Questions about Our Services
The cost depends on the surface area, the condition of the brick, and the method used (painting vs. staining vs. limewashing). However, we offer Fixed Price quotes for most projects so you never have to guess. Contact us for a free, no-obligation assessment.
It can be if the wrong product is used. Standard acrylic latex paints form a film that traps moisture inside the brick, which can freeze and cause the brick faces to pop off (spalling). We strictly use breathable masonry paints, mineral silicate paints, and stains that allow moisture to escape, ensuring your brick remains healthy.
Brick paint sits on the surface of the brick, creating a solid, uniform film. Exterior brick staining penetrates the porous surface of the brick. Stain dyes the brick while leaving the natural texture fully visible. Stain is virtually maintenance-free as it will never chip or peel, making it an excellent choice for Ottawa winters.
Brick limewashing Ottawa involves applying a mixture of slaked lime and water to the brick. It creates a chalky, nuanced, old-world look where some of the brick shows through. It is naturally resistant to mold and bacteria and is completely breathable. It creates a beautiful, calcified finish that hardens over time.
