It’s a Brick….Wall.

(…ok, so that was a lame attempt at a Commodores reference.)

Evidenty, turning a painted brick wall, back into brick isn’t all that easy to do. This particular wall has been painted about a dozen times over the last 60-odd years. It was up to Reliable Contracting to turn it back into a brick-looking wall. (I say “Brick-Looking” because there was one point where we contemplated painting it to look like brick.)

This is what it took to get the brick back to brick. Dwane had to use a grinder with a special wheel to grind the paint off. This patch took about 20min.

Looks PERFECT if you ask me. So we said “Go for it!” and he was off…

3 days later, this is what we were looking at.

…and after a coat or two of sealer…

This is the EXACT mix of “beat up cool” and “modern industrial” that we were looking for. Wait till you see the finished product in a few days. It’s simply fantastic.
