About brick veneer installation
Brick veneer is a thin layer of real brick or manufactured brick facing attached to the exterior wall of a home, rather than a load-bearing masonry wall. Our brick veneer installation covers the full scope: measuring and laying out courses, preparing the wall sheathing, installing flashing and weep holes so moisture can escape, anchoring the veneer ties to the framing, setting the brick, and finishing with tooled mortar joints. We work on new construction and on existing homes that need a masonry look added or a damaged brick section replaced. Brick veneer suits homeowners who want the durability and appearance of brick on a home that was not engineered to carry solid masonry, as well as builders and property owners across Utah who want a premium facade within a practical structural budget. Our siding specialists explain each detail as the work progresses, so you know exactly what is going behind the wall and why it matters.
Signs you need brick veneer installation
- Your existing siding is cracked, faded, or warping and no longer protects the wall behind it as it should.
- You want the look of solid brick on your home but your foundation or framing cannot support a heavy masonry wall.
- Water stains or soft spots appear on exterior walls after heavy rain, suggesting the current cladding is letting moisture through.
- Your home feels dated compared to neighbors, and a brick facade would refresh its curb appeal across the street.
- Sections of your current facade have chipped or deteriorated, and patching no longer hides the damage from view.
- You are planning a new build or addition in Utah and want a masonry-style exterior without the cost and weight of full brick walls.

What you get
Brick veneer delivers the classic appearance of solid masonry while placing far less weight on your foundation and framing.
A properly installed veneer with a moisture barrier and weep system helps protect the wall behind it from long-term water intrusion.
Real brick facing resists fading, denting, and everyday wear, so the exterior keeps its polished look for many years.
Adding brick veneer can noticeably raise curb appeal, which matters to Utah homeowners thinking about resale value down the road.
Because the veneer is applied over the existing wall structure, the work is often more practical than rebuilding a solid brick wall.
Choosing from a wide range of brick colors, textures, and mortar tones lets you match your home to its surroundings or stand out on purpose.

How is brick veneer different from solid brick walls?
Solid brick walls carry their own weight and the structure above them, which requires a substantial foundation. Brick veneer is a single layer of brick attached to the exterior of a wall that is framed and supported separately. This makes veneer far lighter and more practical for most Utah homes, while still delivering the same visible brick appearance from the street.
Will brick veneer work on an existing home in Utah?
In many cases, yes. Our siding specialists first evaluate the existing wall, sheathing, and framing to confirm they can support the veneer and to plan the moisture barrier and flashing correctly. If the structure needs reinforcement or repair before brick can go on, we will explain what is required and how it affects your project timeline and budget.
How long does a brick veneer installation take?
Timing depends on the size of the home, the complexity of the layout, the brick style selected, and weather conditions. A typical single-story project may take several days to a few weeks, while larger homes take longer. Our team gives you a clear schedule during the estimate so you know what to expect before work begins across your Utah property.
Does brick veneer need special maintenance?
Brick veneer is low maintenance compared with many other siding materials. Periodic inspection of the mortar joints, keeping weep holes clear, and addressing any cracks promptly will help the facade last. Because Utah sees wide temperature swings and seasonal moisture, we recommend an occasional check after harsh winters to catch small issues early and keep the wall performing well.
Can you match brick colors and mortar to my existing home?
Yes. We can help you select brick colors, textures, and mortar tones that complement your roofline, trim, and neighborhood. If you are replacing a damaged section, we work to match the existing brick as closely as possible. Bring photos or samples to your estimate and our siding specialists will help you find a blend that looks cohesive across your home.
