COMMERICAL BRICK WATERPROOFING

Waterproofing: Keep Your Commercial Property's Brick In Top Condition

Brick is a great eco-friendly construction material that protects your commercial property in the St. Petersburg area from fire and weather. Brick is lower maintenance than siding and increases the value of your property. Unfortunately, brick is expensive to replace, and the mortar cannot always be repointed.

Carlson's Proficient Painting can protect your brick assets with premium waterproofing solutions. Bricks are porous and diminish due to time, weather and water. Waterproof your brick now before it starts to show cracks and loss of mortar allowing water intrusion. We are the experts in commercial brick waterproofing. We have the experience and know-how to maintain your investment.

The Steps We Take To Waterproof Your Brick

  • Clean your brick surfaces
  • Repair and repoint any lost mortar
  • Repair cracks in the brick and tee flanges
  • Extra pressure or shot blasting to remove stubborn stains and mildew
  • Waterproofing applications

Brick Waterproofing FAQs


What Is the Best Way to Waterproof Brick?

First, thoroughly pressure wash the entire brick area you want to seal. Allow the brick to dry completely before sealing it.

Select the type of sealant you would like to use. Sealants come in three categories - paint, surface sealers and penetrating sealers. Paint is the least expensive. However, because it covers the brick completely in an opaque layer of paint it does not allow the natural brick to show through. Paint does not last as long as a surface sealant or penetrating sealant and will require regular maintenance like any exterior house paint.

A surface sealant is more expensive than paint but dries clear, lasts longer and requires less updating. Surface sealants do not soak into the porous brick surface. A penetrating sealant is the most expensive option. These sealants are specifically formulated to soak deep into the porous surface of your brick home. Penetrating sealants can dry clear. Penetrating sealants require less maintenance and can last up to 30 years. If you choose a penetrating sealant or surface sealant, be sure to select a brand that allows the brick to "breathe" or moisture can become trapped and cause damage to your home.

Testimonials

  • reviewiconWe would give Carlson's 20 stars if possible!
    Eric and his crew were a pleasure to work with. He scheduled a day/time to come review the job. He was right on time! He kept in communication with his quote which was extremely reasonable, the timing of the job, and what we wanted for paint colors, etc. He uses high quality Sherwin Williams paint. On the first day of the job, he arrived with his crew, Eddie, Kurt and Mark to review the job with them. The guys were very professional, friendly, and paid attention to all the details. They cleaned up at the end of the day before leaving. They did an amazing job painting our condo. It looks brand new and we have had fun showing our neighbors and passing the word that they need to call Carlson's for their painting needs. (We live in a 55+ complex). We highly recommend Carlson's Proficient Painting. Thank you Eric and crew!!

    Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Negative: None Carlson's is not just Proficient, they're also Professional, Punctual and Personable, and, well, all around good guys. After getting multiple bids to paint our two-story house, we selected Eric and his crew. Not only did they offer one of the best prices, but they also provided the most detailed quote, as well as the most in-depth bid package from Sherwin Williams (which explained every step of the prep, repairing, sealing and painting process). It's obvious Eric truly cares about his work (and so does his crew). He's a man of his word, and won't stop until he gets it right. Integrity is a hard thing to find nowadays; Eric has it. We'll be using him again, and referring him to friends. We've had so many compliments on the job Carlson's did; heck, half the neighborhood wants him to do their houses!

    Mr. Carlson WAS ON TIME EVERY TIME!!! On our first meeting everything was explained, the time line the painting process the quality of the paint he would use and the equipment he would be using. Mr. Carlson also took the time to explain to my neighbors what he was going to do and any impact it would have on there property (there was none). The painting of my house meet all my expectations and more. No over spray on my plaints or grass, the cleanup process was undetectable! Mr. Carlson also painted my Aunts house with the same professional results. Job Well Done!

    If I could give Eric and Carlson's Proficient Painting SIX stars, I would. Reasonable prices, super efficient. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the results! Also, initially there was a little miscommunication about the color paint we wanted and he had already ordered the paint. However, he was super understanding and ate the costs of the other paint and ordered the paint we actually wanted without hesitation! He and his crew came back several times to do touch-ups to make it looks absolutely perfect. If you want a HIGH PROFESSIONAL QUALITY paint job at budget prices, Eric at Carlson's is your man!!
