painted white brick homes

it seems as every new house is now brick painted white. how shitty are these mcmansion neighborhoods gonna look in 10 years? Is this same fad going on everywhere or just youngsville?
I like the look but when every house in a neighborhood is the same it just seems weird.

It's a terrible fad in my opinion. It rains so much here for starters that the bottom 3rd always looks splashed and shitty. It will date those houses so hard. It's not like you can just undo it either.
I watched a beautiful big home built on a corner. Brick all around. Then, just before completing I watched them spraypaint it. It looks like a primer covered hooptie now.

It’s a damn shame when people do this.

I am definitely not a fan of the painted brick. All the new houses in my subdivision seem to be doing this now. Fortunately, our HOA runs a tight ship and makes you pressure wash and maintain the appearance of your house, so they're not all going to look like shite, but I still don't like the look.

They do it in Central as well, I guess that's the farmhouse type. I think its kinda pointless

I get it if you have an older home with older, cheap, ugly brick and you are trying to update the home
but I'm seeing homes built with beautiful, antique bricks and then people are fricking panting over them
wtf?

My wife has been on my arse to paint our alcove for two years. I'll continue to put that off as long as I can so hopefully the fad will end and she won't want to anymore. Playing the long game on this one.

Personally, I think it can look damn good if done on the right house, especially if they have black windows. That's one thing I wish I could change. All my white windows to black. But my house is only 5 years old, all windows are double pane, so as far as I know the only option is to change the windows out. Black windows aren't worth that cost. Would be astronomical just to achieve an aesthetic change.

When the white goes out of style, I am curious to see what they transition to in these homes.

Glad for people to do it. Makes ours look even better and more unique without looking stupid or obnoxious.

My neighborhood is like that now. See a new house getting built and think "that red brick looks nice on that house" then 2 days later its been painted white. Probably the last 4-5 houses that got built near me have all done it

Never have liked the idea of painting bricks. You take a house exterior that only needs to be pressure washed once in a while and make it something that now needs to be painted as time passes and STILL has to be washed every once in a while.

It was originally called the French farm house look. But now it’s just the everything look.

I’m not a fan of turning a no maintenance product like Brick into a maintenance item by painting it but some houses with ugly brick need it. No denying painting it white makes it pop.

Team Painted Brick here.
My house is older. Brick was brown, black, tan combo. Roof is tan shingles.
Had a crew out of Baton Rouge paint it an off white/cream color this past August. Trim and shutter painted a light brown earth tone. Changed the whole look of the house for the better.
Looks clean/renovated compared to the other dated homes in the older established neighborhood.
K&J Remodeling is very well recommended (225) 485-7988.
