Brings to mind a great party song…but we digress – that’s for somebody else' blog.
Recently, we’ve been noticing a lot of searches for ‘brick house’ and ‘brick homes’ while reviewing our website data. This got us thinking – what’s with the brick? Perhaps homeowners in Northern Virginia are looking to go with brick exteriors – makes sense, right? Most people like brick – it’s low maintenance, attractive, durable, and won’t burn. Great stuff. Why don’t we see more brick? There’s a good reason – it’s more expensive than most other exterior finishes. For comparison: standard vinyl siding is ~$5/square foot. 'Hardie' cement siding and premium vinyls are ~$8-$10/square foot. Brick is ~$15-$25/square foot. This must be why we don’t see more brick – or you only see it on one side with 3 sides finished in something else.
P.S. Let us know if YOU ever do a ‘brick house’ search – we’re curious!
