Painting brick is pretty much a one-way street. once painted you'll never be able to go back to the original brick. Unless it's already painted, give very SERIOUS consideration to the long term impact.

I had my brick & siding house pressure washed every year or two & the paint stayed good for 15 years. I used quality paint to start with.

I would never paint a brick house. Defeats the whole purpose of brick, I think.

For siding, it depends what it is sided with. If you have vinyl siding, you don't have to paint that either.
