Q: Can I use a regular drill for making pilot holes in brick?

• <div><p>You can use a regular drill to make pilot holes for gutter brackets in the wooden fascia board around the top of your house, but it&rsquo;s not the best tool for brick. Instead, you&rsquo;ll need a heavy-duty power tool like a hammer drill with a carbide tip bit.</p></div>

Q: Is it a good idea to paint a brick house?

• <div><p>In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you&rsquo;ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.</p></div>

Q: What is the strongest material for a stone house?

• <div><p>Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It&rsquo;s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren&rsquo;t as high because a granite quarry isn&rsquo;t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren&rsquo;t as strong or weather-resistant as granite. </p></div>

Q: Do brick houses have framing?

• <div><p>Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don&rsquo;t have traditional framing. </p></div>

Q: What does discolored brick mean?

• <div><p>Discoloration ondifferent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-bricks.htm">types of brick</a> can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss. </p></div>

"Erie Homes was great. Ty and Chris shared the information about roofs in a clear and precise way. I love the high quality of the roofing materials and the standards they hold their workers to when placing the roof. Mike called me each step of the way, so I was prepared when the roofing supplies showed up. I even got calls after the beautiful roof was done. Amazing job!"
