I won’t be long today. This post is just a quick tip.

Power washing the brick of your project can really make a difference in its appearance. I know that sounds self-evident, but it’s easy to forget about because of that. Just look at the difference between the two shots of the Buffalo Trail house before and after power washing. I know these aren’t perfectly comparable pictures because we don’t have a continuity department tracking the angle of every shot we take. Still, I think you can get the gist. Power washing the brick and fascia prior to painting makes a big difference. On some projects, it may even be enough.

We’re not finished yet. We will paint the brick to give the house that elegant, modern feel. We’ll have more pictures when that’s done.
