What are the alternatives to a stone house?

• <div><p>Brick is the closest choice when seeking to capture the timeless look of stone with a more practical and budget-friendly option. When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stone-vs-brick-siding.htm">stone versus brick siding</a>, the price range of <b>$200,000 to $400,000</b> for average brick home construction is dramatically lower compared to the cost of building a stone home. If you'd like to keep the stone aesthetic without the cost, stone veneer and manufactured stone are both less expensive than real stone. </p></div>

How long do bricks last?

• <div><p>Most classic red bricks can last 20 to 40 years without major repairs or renovations. If brick is maintained, it can easily last 100 to 150 years.

Q: Is it worth keeping old bricks?

• <div><p>If your old bricks are in decent condition and you have the space to store them where they&rsquo;ll be protected from the elements, keeping old bricks is often worthwhile. You&rsquo;d spend anywhere from $70 to a few hundred dollars to have them removed from your property, in which case you won&rsquo;t be able to use them for future projects. Holding on to old bricks in good condition means you can use them later for other DIY projects, potentially saving yourself some money on disposal and new materials down the road.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a power sander to clean mortar from bricks?

• <div><p>No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of brick or stone walls?

• <div><p>These walls are durable, low-maintenance, and add aesthetic appeal and property value.</p></div>
