Once installed, brick veneer looks exactly like full brick siding, but at cost savings over 30% to 40%.<\/p>\n Most homeowners use faux brick as an accent siding to complement wood, vinyl or aluminum siding. Another popular approach is to use brick veneer siding on the entire front of a home and cover the other sides with a less-expensive siding material. It can also be installed inside, surrounding a fireplace or providing an attractive accent wall in any room.<\/p>\n This brick veneer siding cost estimate includes retail costs for materials needed plus the labor cost of pro installation. We compare brick veneer siding costs with other reliable estimate sites.\u00a0And there is a place for homeowner-submitted siding costs below. We\u2019d love to have you return to Business Finance News when your faux brick siding project is complete to share your cost for the benefit of other readers.<\/p>\n There are a few project factors that determine where in the cost range your project will fall. These should give you a better idea of what to expect when getting brick veneer siding estimates from local contractors.<\/p>\n You can determine square footage of thin brick veneer needed by multiplying the width x the height of sections to be covered. Use the formula for the area of a triangle for gables \u2013 the area = the width x the height divided by 2.<\/p>\n Here are retail costs for materials needed, which include more than bricks and mortar.<\/p>\n Brick veneer siding, also called faux brick, thin brick and brick flats, is produced in the same lengths and heights as standard brick, but it is just .5 to .65 inches thick.\u00a0It is available in a wide range of color and color blends, just like full brick. Most is formed as veneer; A few companies take full bricks and slice them into veneer. Polyurethane faux brick is also available.<\/p>\n Brick veneer can be bought two ways<\/strong> \u2013 individual thin bricks and panels of bricks attached to a mesh back.<\/p>\n The individual bricks cost less per square foot but take more time to install. The increased labor can make the total project cost higher with professional installation.<\/p>\n According to the Brick Industry Association (BIA), the area the brick will cover must be first covered in two layers of water-resistant barrier or a drainage mat material and the barrier. Two-in-one barrier and mat products are available, or they can be installed separately. If you plan to DIY, we recommend reading this Technical Bulletin from the BIA with vital installation information that can mean the difference between a job that looks and performs like it should and one that requires a do-over.<\/p>\n There are many ways to install faux brick.<\/strong> Some products have propriety systems for controlling moisture or adding insulation. A few use a system where the bricks are snapped into a metal grid using clips. In snap-in applications, mortar is only used to fill space between the veneer bricks.<\/p>\n Most brick veneer is installed using a traditional method called thick set. Wire lath is fastened to the house framing or existing siding, if suitable. A layer of mortar called a scratch layer is spread over the lath. The bricks or brick panels are spread, or \u201cbuttered,\u201d with mortar and pressed into the scratch coat.<\/p>\n Another popular method, called thin set, is to install cement backer board without lath, spread the mortar over it and press the brick veneer into each.<\/p>\n Mortar is used to fill the spaces between bricks in either method.<\/p>\n Thin brick veneer siding is similar to stone veneer siding which brings a return on investment of nearly 95%, according to the most recent Cost to Value analysis from Remodeling Magazine. A project that costs $10,000 will boost the home\u2019s value by about $9,500. That\u2019s one of the highest ROIs of any interior renovations or exterior upgrades a homeowner can make.<\/p>\n Pro Tip:<\/strong> Adding brick veneer will produce a 90%-plus return only when other homes in the neighborhood or immediate area feature it<\/em>. Where it is out of place, for example on a street of vinyl-sided bungalows, the return will be significantly less.<\/p>\n The majority of brick veneer is sold in home improvement stores and direct to contractors by local wholesalers. It is available online, but expect high shipping costs due to the weight of the material.<\/p>\n As you shop for faux brick, you\u2019ll see some of these popular brands:<\/p>\n Brick veneer installation cost is based on time and materials used.<\/p>\n Material costs were covered above. Expect labor costs in these ranges based on the cost factors above:<\/p>\n A typical home using brick veneer as a complementary feature on the front of the house will have about 250 square feet of veneer. Here\u2019s is an approximate time frame for a crew of two to install the veneer.<\/p>\n I consider my skills above average. Two years ago, I installed brick veneer around a basement fireplace, covering about 12\u2019 wide and 5\u2019 high except for the 3\u2019x3\u2019 fireplace. Wire lath and thickset installation. Frankly, the results were so-so, and I put a couple weekends into the project.\u00a0Next time, I\u2019d hire a pro.<\/p>\n Installing brick veneer outside is moderately challenging to difficult depending on the scope of the project. We recommend professional installation for these reasons:<\/p>\n We recommend investing the 30% to 40% labor cost in hiring a pro with a portfolio of great-looking installations.\u00a0But it\u2019s always good to hear from readers, many who are experienced pro or DIY remodelers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $10.35 \u2013 $18.80 Per Square Foot The average cost to have brick veneer siding installed is $14.75 per square foot when thin brick is professionally installed.
