Common Brick Veneer Service Questions

You install brick veneer walls using a single layer of brick, with mortar between each brick. Your base course (or row) is installed to an angle iron that is fastened to the foundation. Then, every five courses up, you’ll also fasten the brick veneer to the studs using corrugated brick ties.

Installing a brick veneer exterior wall yourself is possible, but you should only attempt it if you have prior experience working with masonry and siding. It is a challenging, multi-day project (especially if you’re installing brick veneer over the entirety of your home). In most cases, it makes more sense to hire a contractor to install brick veneer siding.

Solid brick structures can last a century or more, potentially 100 to 150 years with proper maintenance like tuckpointing. Without major repairs, classic red bricks may last 20 to 40 years. Brick veneer siding is also a long-lasting material, with a lifespan ranging from 50 to 100 years, provided it is properly installed and maintained. To maintain brick veneer, you should scrub it annually with a special detergent and a soft-bristled broom. It's also important to inspect the bricks and mortar regularly and hire a masonry contractor for any necessary repairs, such as fixing worn mortar or bowing bricks.

If you are seeking an alternative to solid brick, brick veneer is a thinner, lighter, and less expensive siding material that offers a similar look. Other cost-effective alternatives to brick and brick veneer siding include stone veneer, engineered wood, and fiber cement siding. Fiber cement and vinyl siding can be made to look like brick, though they may not match as closely as brick veneer. Hardie board, a popular brand of fiber cement siding, costs about $17,500 on average. While vinyl siding is a more affordable option, it is significantly less durable than brick veneer.
