Why choose Stone or Brick Masonry?

Both products are generally considered the highest quality options that will provide an elegant exterior for decades to come and the two materials add long-lasting value to your home. They are low-maintenance and come with generous warranties. 

Today at South Atlantic Masonry and Concrete Contractor located in Atlanta and Florida we give you some advice that you need to know before use Stone or Brick Masonry in your home.

- A brick or stone masonry is one of the best choices for your home as they are timeless and refined. Either material are fire and moisture resistant and provide thermal and acoustical insulation.

- The brick effectively lowers heating and cooling costs by as much as eight percent. It can withstand high winds and is not typically damaged by hail or other debris in windy conditions. Brick and stone exteriors are also extremely durable and can continue decorating your home for many years. 

- Over time, brick and stone will start to weather, changing their colors slightly. This can make it difficult to match the appearance if the home is later expanded or remodeled. 

- Water can penetrate and seep through to the area behind the Brick. It is important that a waterproof barrier be placed on the wall before the brick siding is installed. 

- Stone veneers provide protective and decorative attributes to a remodel work, as brick does. Stone is also fire resistant, with acoustical and thermal insulation properties. 

- Stone veneers may be natural or manufactured, there are a good quality faux stone that is cheaper and looks like natural stone in color and texture.

- Bricks may crack over time, small cracks can be ignored, but it might be better to patch them. Cracks that grow too large will require the help of a experinced mason to replace the damaged brick. 

- The Brick-work should hold up for twenty-five years or longer, but when cracks and gaps start to appear, you will want to call us for estimates. This isn’t a big problem for new homes, but it can be a serious issue for historic homes. If your home is older, especially if it is more than seventy years old, consider hiring professional Atlanta masonry and concrete contractor.
