Q: Is it normal for brick mortar to crack?

• <div><p>Minor hairline cracks in mortar are normal over time. This is a natural occurrence as bricks settle. You should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracked-brick-always-foundation-issue.htm">worry about cracks in brick</a> if you see vertical cracks that widen as they move up, stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, or deep horizontal cracks. These are all more serious signs of foundation damage.</p></div>

Q: Can I cut used or reclaimed bricks?

• <div><p>Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they&rsquo;re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a brick or stone fireplace?

• <div><p>Costs range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on material, labor, and design complexity.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose a brick paint color?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-right-paint-color-your-home.htm">Choosing the right paint color</a> for a major investment like painting the exterior brick on your house can be a daunting task. Perhaps the most important thing is to find painted brick houses that you like and replicate the look by researching their colors and asking the homeowners for the paint color code. If all else fails, white-painted brick is a timeless, classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. </p></div>

Q: Does an outdoor fireplace need fire bricks?

• <div><p>Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won&rsquo;t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace. </p></div>
