The exterior of a home can affect many things, particularly its aesthetic appearance and market value. Homes that use brick for their exteriors generally resell for more than other homes. Bricks require little to no maintenance because they are durable and protect the home from the elements very well. Also, bricks do not burn therefore brick homes are more resistant to outside fires. Unfortunately, brick exteriors cost more than other options like vinyl siding, but it’s a cost that may be well worth it when it comes to resale value.
