Exterior Brick Painting Project in Sylvan Park, Nashville
A Brighter, More Refined Exterior
The original red brick gave this Sylvan Park home a traditional appearance, but the homeowners wanted a lighter exterior that would feel clean, welcoming, and better suited to the home’s updated details. Cumberland Painting used Romabio Masonry Flat to create the new painted-brick finish.
The Challenge
Why the Right Masonry Coating Matters
Brick is porous and needs a coating designed for masonry. Romabio Masonry Flat is formulated to bond with mineral surfaces while allowing vapor to move through the wall system. That makes product selection and preparation especially important on a painted-brick exterior.

The Solution
The Details Behind the Transformation
The masonry and surrounding surfaces were reviewed and prepared so the coating would adhere evenly. Windows, roofing, landscaping, walkways, and fixtures were protected so the property remained orderly throughout the work.
The masonry coating was applied to create a consistent, breathable finish across the brick exterior and chimney while maintaining the texture and visual character of the masonry.
