Q: 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&mdash;so you&rsquo;ll invest more in the project.</p></div>

Q: Is stone veneer less expensive than stone?

• <div><p>Stone veneer siding is approximately four times less expensive than stone because it's made of concrete and aggregates instead of natural stone. But veneer looks like real stone, is easier to install, and acts as a great, durable siding option. </p></div>

Q: Can it be dangerous to drill into brick?

• <div><p>Drilling into brick doesn&rsquo;t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it&rsquo;s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall&rsquo;s structural integrity. Applying too much force can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracked-brick-always-foundation-issue.htm">crack or chip the brick</a>, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength. </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: What’s the difference between masonry and concrete?

• <div><p>Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-concrete.htm">Types of concrete</a> applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.</p></div>
