Full Exterior Repaint with Sherwin-Williams Duration on a Brick Home

When a home has brick as its main exterior material, people sometimes assume there isn't much to paint. But there's actually a lot - trim, soffits, fascia, the garage door, the front door, and any siding sections. All of it adds up. And when those elements start looking worn or dated, the whole house reads as neglected, even if the brick itself is in great shape.

For this full exterior repaint, we went with Sherwin-Williams Duration in a satin finish. Two full coats. Duration is one of the best paints on the market for exterior work - it's built to handle weather, resist fading, and hold its color for years. The satin sheen gives everything a clean, polished look without going too glossy. It hits the right balance for a home like this.

We covered every paintable surface - trim all the way around, the garage door, the front door, the soffits, the chimney siding section, and the fascia boards on the back and sides of the house. Color matching was a priority here. When you paint this many separate elements, they all need to read as one cohesive look. That's not something you can rush.

This is the kind of exterior painting work that pays off over time. Two coats of a premium product means the surface is actually protected - not just covered. The homeowner isn't going to be dealing with peeling or fading anytime soon. That's the whole point of doing it right the first time.
