Some people like painted brick and some don't. It's like painted furniture that way. It does have some disadvantages when it comes to maintenance. To start, expect a few touch-ups—painted brick will age unevenly, so you may need to scrape and repaint certain spots that have faded or chipped over the years. Lighter colors of paint will show dirt and need cleaning from time to time. Pressure-washing on a low setting is the best way to keep painted brick clean. In addition, painting your brick seals in moisture and prevents the brick from "breathing." While this won't always cause issues, it can lead to trapped moisture in your brick, which can freeze and expand, causing damage to the mortar.

Also, you need to repaint every 15-20 years. I'm not sure if tuckpointing is required? It would be easier to tuckpoint on unpainted IMO, but maybe these houses won't last that long anyway?
