On the contrary, stain is more challenging to apply, often requiring several coats to achieve the color and effect desired. This is because brick is porous and will soak up the stain as it’s applied. For that reason, it’s best to apply a stain with a paint sprayer, though it is possible to do with a roller and brush.

  • One gallon of stain covers 100 to 250 square feet or more with one coat, depending on the bricks' porosity.

  • Water-based stain is recommended in most cases because it is easy to work with, allows the brick to breathe, and wears naturally.

  • Adding more pigment can darken the color, while adding water lightens the tone.

Labor cost of brick tinting

The average labor cost for brick tinting is $0.75 to $3.50 per square foot or $30 to $90 per hour. Other factors that affect the cost include:

  • Brick and mortar colors

    Using multiple colors or staining each brick individually without hitting the grout lines increases the labor cost.

  • Brick condition

    Brick repair costs $25 to $55 per square foot, depending on the damage.

  • Mortar Condition

    Repointing brick costs $5 to $25 per square foot.

  • Number of Stories

    Labor costs 25% to 50% more when staining upper levels.

  • Brick preparation

    Pressure washing a house costs $200 to $380. Remove rust, oil, and efflorescence before staining because stain highlights marks and discolorations.

  • Permits

    Scaffolding permits cost $120 to $350 and are required in most cities. Ground-level exterior staining typically does not require a permit, but regulations vary by location.
