Brick Exposures

Expose the Character Hidden Behind Your Walls

Philadelphia is known for its beautiful historic brick, and Junk in the Truck helps bring that character back to life. We provide professional brick exposure services throughout Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Delaware, helping homeowners, contractors, developers, and property owners transform ordinary walls into standout features.

Our team carefully exposes, cleans, seals, and finishes original brick while preserving its integrity and natural beauty. Whether you’re renovating a Philadelphia rowhome, updating a commercial property, or modernizing an investment property, exposed brick can instantly elevate the entire space.

From demolition to the final finish, we help create spaces that stand out from the rest.

 

What Are Brick Exposure Services?

Brick exposure is the process of uncovering original brick walls hidden behind plaster, drywall, or other materials and restoring them to become a finished architectural feature.

This process requires careful removal techniques, detailed cleaning, and proper sealing to ensure the brick remains durable, beautiful, and protected for years to come.

Our goal is simple: reveal the original character of your property while creating a timeless finished look.
