Brick Siding

When it comes to brick siding, it is important to note that the brick is not used as a structural component, but rather as a form of siding to accompany a wood frame structure. Brick siding has several attractive qualities to it. It is made of fired clay which is water repellent, easy to maintain and available in hundreds of colors.

Brick siding is expected to last 100 years because it withstands most of the forces which deteriorate siding products. For the first 25-30 years you will enjoy maintenance free siding and after that amount of time limited maintenance is required.

Typical maintenance includes repairing loose joints between bricks because the brick will become brittle over time. This involves scraping out mortar between the bricks and replacing it with new grout in the joints. Unfortunately, this process is intensive and will cost anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 for an average sized home. Other forms of maintenance include moss control and water sealing.
