Brick is an expensive but extremely durable option for your new home or renovation. Brick can last for generations.

Brick’s popularity has faded over the past few decades due more cost effective alternatives such as cement board siding and stucco but brick is still an excellent choice.

Brick is virtually maintenance free. The extra cost is well worth the investment.

Review the Brick Industry Association website for inspiration as well as technical information and construction details. See their website’s Resources section for more information.

Review the Brick Industry Association Builder Notes and discuss with your brick mason or installer to ensure proper installation.

Install prices can vary so request at least 2 or 3 quotes and keep them honest.

Bricks are sold in cubes. Most standard cubes hold 500-525 modular bricks, which translates to roughly 70 to 80 square feet of wall area.

Brick labor is priced per 1,000 brick.

It is important to request a written quote from your Brick Mason. Do not attempt to estimate the labor costs on your own.

Small brick projects will require a visit from your Brick Mason to review and properly estimate the labor costs.

Check that your brick installation includes cleaning. Review with your installer when requesting a quote and before the job starts. Brick Industry Association Cleaning Brickwork.
