Is that painted brick? Agreed with it being such a huge undertaking you'd want some consultation. This guy works virtually.

Thanks so much. I’ll check out the site.

Is the brick already painted? The house is great looking--wonderful angles and lines. Does it need painting? If it doesn't then just paint trim a mustard, green, or grayish taupe to echo the charcoal roof and devote your budget to amazing landscaping. Fix the stairs, stain the wood shingles, spruce things up. But don't paint if you don't need to.

Thank you so much! Great suggestions. We did a day’s work on the shingles since this photo was taken. My shoulders are still angry about it 😊
