Bill explained the advantages of brick staining versus brick painting and instantly convinced me that brick staining was the correct way to change the appearance of the house without the worry of constant maintenance due to poor paint adhesion. The neighbors have all complemented the excellent job and I'm sure I will be seeing the crew staining other homes in our neighborhood this summer. **★★★★★ — Doug Meyer, Jan. 2017** > Phenix was excellent in transforming our stone fireplace. We wanted stone to look like it was from the Rocky Mountains with grey hues, instead of from the Arizona landscape with red and copper hues that it was. The transformation was amazing and looks so original and authentic. Bob was our artist - and I believe they are truly artists for what they can do. He was very attentive to our wants and took his time to show us samples and make any modifications we wanted along the way. I'd highly and enthusiastically recommend them! **★★★★★ — Lindsey Smithwick, Jan. 2017** > I recently had the pleasure of working with Phenix Brick Corp. I had heard about the company a few months back but kept putting them on the back burner to update the brick surrounding our fireplace. My only regret is waiting this long to do it! I CANNOT believe how much better it looks. The service was fantastic - Bob was very helpful in directing us with which color palette to use - all the while listening to what it is we were trying to go for. The whole process took about 3 hours and it is NIGHT and DAY difference! We couldn't be happier. If you are thinking of doing this - do yourself a favor and DO IT. The best part is if you don't like it they can stain it back or change the color in a snap. SEE THE BEFORE/AFTER THEY PUT TOGETHER FOR ME BELOW! ## Selected projects - [Updated Vintage Additions](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/updated-vintage-additions-pj-vj~2264735) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 17 - Description: This stately Lincoln Park home had numerous additions in its 100+ year history. But the original Chicago common brick didn't match the 1980s vintage oranish pattern, that didn't match the 2000s era addition either. Phenix used an opaque silicate based mineral stain to achieve a uniform, updated color scheme, that will strengthen and preserve the brick, while allowing the brick to breathe for next 100 years. - [Brick Staining](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brick-staining-pj-vj~2134508) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 13 - [Drab to Fab Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/drab-to-fab-fireplace-pj-vj~2264728) - Location: Wilmette, IL - Photos: 1 - [Buffalo Grove Curb Appeal Facelift](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/buffalo-grove-curb-appeal-facelift-pj-vj~2091167) - Location: Buffalo Grove, IL - Photos: 1 - [Wicker Park Brick Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wicker-park-brick-makeover-pj-vj~2091129) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 1 - [Small Fireplace Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/small-fireplace-makeover-pj-vj~2091120) - Location: Elgin, IL - Photos: 1 - [Lincoln Park - Brick Staining & Color Matching](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-park-brick-staining-and-color-matching-pj-vj~2064252) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 1 - [Chinatown Brick Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chinatown-brick-makeover-pj-vj~2064256) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 1 [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/painters/phenix-brick-corp-pfvwus-pf~438365734) ## Ideabooks - [Fireplace Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80060300/list/fireplace-ideas) — 4 ideas - [Pro-Minute](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/75234454/list/pro-minute) — 7 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/phenixbrick) ## Community Q&A **Q: How to Save A 60's Home** *(in Design Dilemma)* My husband and I have gone to see this home which is currently for sale -- it's in a prime location, however has been sitting on the market due to it's out of date style. This is the FRONT of the home. It's a reverse layout with second floor kitchen / living room due to views of a golf course it is on. Any ideas on how to update this exterior (without spending an extreme amount of money?) Do I attempt a re-do or ditch it? Thank you. A: If you do change the color of the brick, we always recommend staining the brick instead of painting. Brick stain allows the brick to breath so it will never fade, chip or peel. Looks like a great property - good luck! **Q: Exterior Remodel** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are buying my husbands grandparents house and the outside needs a major facelift and some repairs!! We are keeping the pale reddish brick but what sort of colors would look great for garage doors, trim and shutters??? I would like a nicer curb appeal and be able to drive up and say wow my house is pretty!!! A: A lot of potential! That brick is pretty dark and limits some of your design choices. Look into staining the brick - can update and/or lighten the color while still allowing the brick to breath (so no bubbling or peeling). Good luck! **Q: Curb Appeal on a budget** *(in Design Dilemma)* I bought this house in March and have completely renovated the interior, but the exterior could definitely still use some work! I would love to paint it all eventually and change out the wrought iron on the porch. There were 3 giant holly bushes in the front flower bed that we've pulled up...other than knowing that those were terrible, I'm pretty clueless about landscaping! Any advice or ideas would be much appreciated! A: If you do change the color of the brick, we always recommend staining the brick instead of painting. Brick stain allows the brick to breath so it will never fade, chip or peel. **Q: Brick exterior** *(in Design Dilemma)* I'm looking for a way to spruce up our new home. I want to white wash brick or take down shutters? Obviously new door. Thoughts on how to modernize? I also love grey and would love to incorporate. A: If you want to change the color of the brick, look into staining the brick instead of painting. The stain will not bubble or peel like paint would. Good luck! **Q: Half Brick Exterior Needs Help** *(in Design Dilemma)* I posted about this a couple months ago but am hoping to get a few more opinions. My husband and I are buying this fixer upper and are a bit perplexed about what to do with the exterior. It's half brick, half sage green siding, with a medium gray roof. My initial idea was to paint it all one color (see my photoshopped image in comments), but now I'm having second thoughts, wondering if it would be better to keep the brick as-is or possibly stain it. I would love input on color schemes with or without painting the whole thing or other ideas to give our home a little more curb appeal! A: If you do change the color of the brick, you are on the right track with staining. Paint will eventually bubble, peel and fail, while staining is pretty much a permanent color change of the brick. One color idea is to stain the brick a charcoal, darker grey and the top a coordinating lighter grey, with black or white shutters **Q: Brick staining- which products work best?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I would be interested in hearing from people who have used concrete/masonry stain products on exterior brick. Which specific products (brand, formula, etc) have you found to be most effective? A bit of context: The brick that I plan to stain gets some exposure to sun/rain etc, but not a severe amount. I will be staining both the brick and the mortar. Since the stain will be applied to a brick wall of a house, I am looking for a product that will allow the brick to breathe and does not require a sealant to be applied. Thanks for any tips! A: Silicate based stains are your best bet. A great company to look into that provides staining services is Phenix Brick Corp.
