Before and after of the Wyoming Downs ➡️ Lucky 7's Gaming Parlor transformation. 🎰🐎

Somewhat sad to see the craftsmanship of our guys in the 90's covered up or demolished on the interior, and the teal bar top from the "Attitudes" era go, but it's a sharp, new, modern look. ✅

Go check it out!

Painting brick seems harmless — even “modern.”
But here’s what really happens when you paint masonry on a home:

Brick is designed to breathe. It absorbs moisture, releases moisture, and manages v***r through tiny pores.
When you apply paint, you seal those pores — and the moisture still finds its way in… it just can’t get back out.

That’s when the problems start:

• trapped moisture
• spalling (faces of the brick popping off)
• accelerated freeze–thaw damage
• hidden structural deterioration
• expensive long-term repairs
• reduced historic value and curb appeal

Short-term, painted brick looks fresh.
Long-term, it becomes maintenance, repairs, and regret.

If you’re considering painting brick, talk to a qualified masonry professional first. There are breathable coatings and preservation options — but once standard paint goes on, it’s very difficult (and costly) to reverse.

Build things to last — not just to look good for a season.
