Q: Are brick houses safer in an earthquake?

• <div><p>According to the <a href="https://www.earthquakecountry.org/step4/urmwalls/#:~:text=Houses%20built%20of%20unreinforced%20masonry,and%20the%20roof%20is%20critical.">Earthquake Country Alliance</a>&mdash;a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness&mdash;reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn&rsquo;t as stable as other building materials and methods.</p></div>

Q: Can you use bleach on brick?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of bleach and a gallon of warm water to clean stubborn stains from brick. Do not use bleach without diluting it in water. Undiluted bleach may cause discoloration. You can use either Oxygen bleach such as OxiClean or chlorine bleach. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling bleach.</p></div>

Q: Does staining brick increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, staining a brick home can increase a home&rsquo;s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home&rsquo;s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe. </p></div>

Q: How long do brick houses last?

• <div><p><b>Brick houses can last at least 100 years</b> with minimal maintenance. With regular care and attention, including mortar repointing, brick houses can last 500 years or more.</p></div>

Q: Is it a good idea to paint a brick house?

• <div><p>In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you&rsquo;ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.</p></div>

Working with America Cool Construction was a great experience. Very responsive to questions and gave the most detailed bid out of the three I got. Itâ s way different than many other contractors we dealt with. The installers were polite and worked a long date to complete the job.
