Does brick increase home value?

• <div><p>Brick can increase the value of your home depending on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-most-common-masonry-materials.htm">type of masonry materials</a> used. Homes generally have a higher resale value when they have brick siding, and brick is also easier to maintain (and lasts longer) than other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-different-house-siding.htm">types of siding</a>, which can motivate buyers to make an offer.</p><p>Just keep in mind, however, that although brick can up the asking price when you sell your house, the cost to brick a house is also more expensive than other typical siding costs—so you’ll invest more in the project.</p></div>

Does staining brick increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, staining a brick home can increase a home’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’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>

How to remove the white stains I see on my bricks?

• <div><p>The white stains you see on your bricks are likely efflorescence, which is salt and lime buildup. To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-efflorescence-brick.htm">remove efflorescence stains</a>, simply brush them away with a stiff brush. For larger, more stubborn stains, scrub the stains with a water-detergent solution.</p></div>

Q: Can you drill into brick with a regular drill?

• <div><p>You may not need a hammer drill if you&rsquo;re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often. </p></div>

Q: Does painted brick need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don&rsquo;t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.</p></div>

We were promptly greeted when we arrived. We advised that we wanted pedicures. They asked us to give them about 5-10 minutes to get the stations set up and while we waited to pick the colors we wanted. We were seated in the massage chairs and got to soak our feet. The gentlemen we had working on...
