Expert Brick Siding Services in New Orleans
A brick veneer exterior that can outlast almost anything else you could put on the wall — and asks very little of you along the way.
What Brick Siding Is
Brick siding is a freestanding brick veneer wall installed against the exterior surface of the building. It is not structural in the way a solid brick wall is — it is a finish, tied back to the structure behind it.
Brick is made from clay, shale, sand, water and air. It is recyclable, durable and low-maintenance, which makes it one of the more environmentally sound finishes available.
The upfront cost is higher than most alternatives. What you are buying is time: brick siding can last for over 100 years with proper maintenance, and a lifetime when properly installed.
What’s Included
Every brick siding job we quote covers the whole wall assembly, not just the surface you can see.

Signs It May Be Time to Call
These are the reasons homeowners most often get in touch about brick siding.
You want a finish you will not have to revisit for decades.
Maintenance has become a burden on the current exterior.
Existing brick or mortar is failing — spalling faces or crumbling joints.
You are matching an existing brick elevation on an extension or repair.
Fire resistance matters for the property.
You are building or renovating and want to specify the exterior once.
A note on all of the above: these are common reasons to have an exterior looked at, not a diagnosis. Whether the right answer is a repair, a partial replacement or a full replacement depends on what an on-site inspection finds behind the surface. We will tell you which one your home needs, including when the answer is that it can wait.
