Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of using brick over other types of siding?
Brick is the best! Clay brick is proven to withstand the test of time and save you money in the long run. Brick requires virtually no maintenance, saves energy- saving you money on your utility bills, reduces insurance costs, and increases your home's resale value. Brick stands up well to any type of climate and, unlike many other options, gives you better protection against fire and extreme weather conditions. Brick is the safest wall cladding for your home, providing superior protection for your family. Brick absorbs exterior noise, so it will also help you maintain a peaceful home. The beauty of a brick home will never go out of style, and fits every architectural style with many textures and colors to choose from. Find out more on our Why Choose Brick page.
