Residential Masonry: Why Choose Masonry for my Home?

For centuries, the world's most beautiful homes were built from brick and stone. Nothing else can match the classic style, elegance and long term performance as masonry. While initial costs might be higher than other siding materials, you will find the return on your investment to always be positive. Here are a few of the benefits you will realize:

• Strength — Brick is one of the world's oldest building materials. It is pest and weather resistant, and it's fireproof. Brick homes built hundreds of years ago are still standing and look as distinguished today as when they were built.
• Lasting Value — Masonry's beauty and practicality are always a plus when you resell. In real estate advertising, if a home is made of brick, the ad always mentions it, because brick offers a selling advantage. On average, a brick exterior enhances the resale value of your home.
• Energy Efficiency — Masonry's “thermal mass” means that it absorbs heat and slows down heat transfer. This thermal mass helps provide a more stable interior temperature, avoiding the peaks often experienced on extreme weather days.
• Lower Maintenance — Masonry never needs to be painted, never warps, fades, dents, melts, or becomes brittle. For those who have lived in brick houses, you will know, you don't have to do a thing to keep it looking beautiful.
