Brick Exterior - Pros/Cons of staining, whitewashing ect

[Jeremy M.]

So we've got a 4800+ sq ft all brick 2 story with walkout basement. Brick are still fairly nice overall but I'm thinking of doing a whitewash or stain just to change the color of ALL those brick. Have any of y'all done this on a nice home in a great neighborhood? Other than watching a few videos, I haven't been able to find much info from people that are familiar with it. I'd love to hear some experiences!
