The short answer: painting the brick on a full home exterior in the OKC metro usually runs $6,000 to $12,000. Here’s what moves the number inside that range, what can push it beyond, and why homeowners keep choosing it over the alternatives.
What’s included in that range
A professional brick paint job isn’t just spraying paint at a wall. For that $6,000–$12,000 you should expect:
- A full power wash of the exterior, so the mineral paint bonds to clean masonry.
- Crack and repair prep. Small cracks get filled, and here’s a nice bonus: paint permanently hides brick repairs and mismatched mortar.
- Brick-specific mineral products. We use breathable Romabio products made for masonry, because ordinary house paint traps moisture inside brick and damages it over time. Romabio backs its Masonry Flat with a 20-year product warranty when properly applied.
- A sample wall. Because painted brick is permanent, we paint and distress one wall first and you approve it before the rest of the house is touched.
- Proper application: sprayed from multiple directions to cover every face of every brick, then back-brushed into the texture.
Most projects take about three days, and even big ones finish inside a week.
What moves the price
Size is the biggest factor. More square feet of brick means more product and more time, so a compact single-story lands near the bottom of the range and a large two-story near the top.
The woodwork is the other big one. “$6,000–$12,000” covers the brick itself. If we’re also painting the trim, fascia, soffits, shutters, and doors, that adds to the total. Most homeowners do the whole exterior at once, since the new brick color usually makes old trim look dated. The upside: one crew, one mobilization, one cohesive result, like the off-white brick and black woodwork combination the Newton family chose in Edmond (their story and video are here).
The finish choice matters less than you’d think. Solid coverage and limewash-style distressed finishes are in the same general cost neighborhood. Choose the look you love, not the price tag.
How it compares to the alternatives
The reason brick painting keeps growing in OKC: it’s the most complete exterior transformation you can give a home without a remodel. Replacing siding, or re-cladding a home in new brick or stone, is a far bigger project. Painting the brick typically gets you a completely new look for about a third of the price of that kind of exterior remodel, in days instead of weeks.
Against a standard exterior repaint, brick painting sits a bit higher: a typical (non-brick) exterior repaint in the metro runs $4,000–$10,000, while brick work adds masonry-specific products and more involved application.
One honest caveat before you spend anything
Painting brick is effectively permanent: removing paint from brick afterward is technically possible but very difficult. That’s not a reason to avoid it; it’s a reason to do it once, correctly, with the right products and a sample wall you’ve approved. If you’re on the fence, our painted brick vs. limewash guide is the best place to start.
