[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it isn't the cost. Siding (especially fiber cement) is just such a better product that it is the go to. It is water resistant (unlike brick), it has indicative qualities (unlike brick) and it requires little maintenance (unlike brick.) It is actually more expensive as a product, cheaper to install obviously. But if you want brick and can match it perfectly, go for it.[/quote] It is cost. Brick veneer is more costly than Hardie siding and more labor intensive to install. Brick veneer actually requires less maintenance than siding which will need to be painted every 7-10 years. When installed properly with an air space and proper drainage plane, brick veneer is weather resistant.[/quote] +1 we costed it out when we were looking at a brick house with an ugly siding addition. adding a brick veneer was expensive and matching is difficult (we passed on the house).[/quote]
