Why should I buy a brick home?
Nothing else can match the classic beauty and elegance of a brick home. Building with brick says "You have arrived." But there's more to brick than just looks. Brick offers lasting value. It can enhance the resale value of your home by as much as 6 percent. Brick is virtually maintenance free. It doesn't rot, dent, or need to be painted and it won't be eaten by termites. Brick is also energy efficient, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. In short, brick offers you a combination of advantages not found in any other siding material.

Handy Tips

When you need to use the dryer, run full loads, use the moisture-sensing setting, and clean the dryer lint trap after each use.

Unplug or recycle that spare refrigerator in the garage if you don't really need it. This will save you up to $150 per year (10-20%).

Don't put heat-generating appliances next to your air conditioning thermostat, this will cause the air conditioner to run longer.

Be careful with pressure washers - they are powerful enough to force water under the siding where it can encourage mildew and rot.
