I will not help you ruin a house by painting the brick. IMO your house is nice maybe a new color for the shutters the shutter removed from the porch window and the windows above the porch since those do not belong. BTW it will never look , like it was natural brick once it is done you have taken a no upkeep material and turned it into one that will require upkeep. MY opinion is painting brick is the fastest way to devalue a house . Waht exactly are you trying to accomplish maybe post that and see what ideas come up.

Thank you for your response, I understand what you are saying, my house was already ruined by a brick stainer, this is not the natural color, I’m just trying to make it look more appealing rather than ruin it. I can’t remove the shutters because this brick stainer did not remove them when he stained the house to begin with. So they have been stained around. For a response to why this has happened I don’t have the answer for, well I do, the bottom line was this happened , I wish I wasn’t in this predicament. I thought the idea around the Romabio was to be a breathable calcified finish. I’m not looking to paint my brick I’m just looking to add that finish to warm it up some and would love advice on achieving that.

I am no pro at all!!!! So if you test this out do it on a spot that you don’t care much about.
Maybe water down the whitewash a bit and wipe it with a smooth rag after applying.

My advise would be the same as above. For the most natural look, water down the whitewash, paint it on with a big brush in small areas, and wipe with a rag. Its a huge house, so you are taking on a huge job, and will need a whole ton of rags to wipe down with. Make sure to remove the shutters, and try to stain them, the same as house now, and then when you white wash it, make sure you do those areas too. Dont leave anything covered, make sure you whitewash the entire house. What a shame. I quite honestly do not mind the stained color, and I would just remove the shutters, and try to stain where it wasnt, rather than take on a huge job of white washing a really big house. Doing a fireplace, inside is a several hour job, I just cant even imagine doing an entire huge house. Your house, is one of the reasons, some of us here, tell people, please do not paint your brick. There are a few brick houses, that actually beneftit from being painted, but, most are beautiful as they are.

Thank you for your responses and advice! It’s so hard, definitely don’t want to ruin anything or take on more than I can handle I would just love for this to be fixed.

A house that size and that tall, will not be a fun project, and yes, it may be a bit more than you could handle, since it could take a very long time, to do it.

Have you consulted with the folks at Romabio about this dilemma?

At least the existing stain is a soft neutral that kind of visually recedes. The beige sample looks like a bright lemony yellow on my screen; a forward and sharp color that may not be pleasing on such large walls.

That house is too big for DIY IMO. Have you viewed the videos for the application? If you want the application to be a solid color then you would be better off using the Masonry Paint from Romabio.

Does anyone know if getting a masonry contractor to mortar wash it could be a good option?

You should definitely hire someone professional. But make sure to sample a spot and show them exactly how you want it done.

I agree, if you are dead set on doing it, then, you need to hire a professional.
