re: New Construction Painting Bricks

Some newer subdivisions have horrible covenants and require certain colors to be used. Across the street from me they are about halfway done building 40 houses, and every brick home is painted. Saw some very nice looking homes go up, and then all painted a white, gray, or other neutral color. Yeah it looks nice now when they're all similar, but upkeep on brick that is painted will be a pain.

In my subdivision, if you paint your bricks you can use any bricks (new bricks a much cheaper than old bricks), but if you're going to use unpainted bricks, they have to be old bricks. So I think in my subdivision it's about a 50/50 mix of folks with painted bricks - half do it b/c they like the look and half do it b/c it's cheaper than having to use old bricks.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the painted brick look.
