Brick Staining Process
Q: How long does your stain last?
A: BrickImaging guarantees each project for
a 25-year period; however, projects that have now been completed
more than 25 years ago (real-time results) have maintained
their original appearance without the need of any maintenance
or touch-up. We have no doubt that our stain will far outlast
the 25-year period and look forward to extending our warranty
period in the near future.
Q: What types of surfaces can you stain?
A: We can stain any porous masonry material
including brick, block, mortar, or stone with the exception
of flat surfaces such as driveways or other high-traffic areas.
BrickImaging cannot account for the forces that will be placed
on such areas and therefore cannot warrant such work.
Q: What colors can you match?
A: We can match any color you have to any
color you desire. This includes dark colors to lighter colors
and vice versa. BrickImaging uses precise color management
to ensure that every match is in fact- a match that is undetectable
to the human eye.
Q: Can you stain over painted brick?
A: Due to the fact that painting masonry
work fills in the pores of the material and allows for a higher
risk of chipping and peeling, we cannot stain material in
this condition; however, some surfaces can be stripped of
the paint and then stained and sealed.
*Incorrect methods used for removing paint can cause substantial
damage. Please consult with a professional before attempting
any type of paint removal from your masonry work.
Q: Can I change the color after it’s
completed?
A: BrickImaging strives hard to provide
clients with an insight to the finished product through use
of samples, previous projects, and education but when necessary,
yes- depending on the type of surface, we can change the color
up to 3 times and maintain the natural look and feel of the
original masonry work. Additional charges may or may not apply
depending on the change/s.
Q: Can you correct sandblasting damage?
A: Yes, we can repair minor damage caused
by sandblasting. We have had great success repairing walls
that have been sandblasted to remove graffiti etc.
*BrickImaging does NOT recommend using
any sandblasting techniques to remove graffiti as this permanently
etches the graffiti into the surface.
Q: Do you do any other repair work?
A: BrickImaging specializes only in staining
masonry work and does not perform any repairs outside of minor
sandblasting damage.
Q: Can I see a sample before you do
the project?
A: Yes, BrickImaging can provide a sample
for review before staining a project. For larger projects
with mock walls, BrickImaging gladly invites the architects
and others involved with the project to view the staining
of the sample and ask any questions that they may have.
