Brick stain prices and color options
Brick stain costs $35 to $65 per gallon or $450 to $2,200 for two coats on an average home. Brick or masonry stain is solid or semi-transparent and comes in many colors. Gray and black tones provide a modern aesthetic. Brown and white palettes create a lighter, warmer feel.

-
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.

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

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

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