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>

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>

Q: Is rock salt corrosive?

• <div><p>Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead. </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>

Q: Can you repoint over old mortar?

• <div><p>You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.</p></div>

Very poorly. Every edge is crooked, very wavy. None of the corners are even close to square. There are lots of large chips at the seams. Just all around bad. Worst part, I paid $40/ft MORE than every other stone place charges. The owner agreed that it would take 1-2 days of work to improve the...

It's hard to find; it's in a back street. It's the only thing around as it's in the middle of a residential area and difficult to locate. But once I found it; the work was fine. The location was gravel and not enough concrete to suit me. But everything they did was fine. As soon as I pulled up...
