How much would it cost to reface a house with brick?

Question

I know that's a difficult question but just a ballpark order of magnitude. I live in Northern Virginia in a very standard colonial home (5 windows wide, pretty flat exterior surface no difficult architectural details). Is it something like 25K or up to 100K?

Answer 1

Brick and block should run about $18.50 a square foot brick without block should run $10.00 a square foot  (as long as you pick a color that's in stock)

you should measure the square feet including the window and door opening

Answer 2

I assume you will need a "brick ledge" installed around your home. This requires digging out the soil about 12" away from the house and 18" below grade. Pouring the footings , laying the bricks,etc.

Figure about $25 per running foot for the footings or brick ledge, and about  $1500 per thousand to furnish and lay the brick. You may need work done on your overhangs.

                                                            

Take your square footage of the house walls multiply that times 7= bricks per square foot, now divide by 1,000 . That tells you how many thousand bricks you need.
