I’m looking at purchasing a home in TX. It’s a 2 story home, approx. 2700sqft, and the stucco on it is in really bad shape. Can you offer a general estimate of what the cost would be to change that to brick? Thanks!
The footings/foundations on a brick faced home or other masonry are often thicker than a standard wooden framed house. This is due to the added weight and a an overall thicker wall system.
You should call a specialist (brick mason) and/or (siding contractor) for this type if project.
I’d consider checking with your building jurisdiction before any contract is signed.
Adding a brick facade will be expensive due to the fact that you will have to excavate your foundation and add some type of brick ledge to start from . I would recommend you look into a brick veneer or a westcoat system to look like brick.
Any experienced cement contractor would have to see if it is masonry behind the stucco, or plywood with metal lath. Cost with your question as it is written could increase considerably, but the answer for a general ball park figure is 86,400.00
I would recommend getting a few estimates. Most companies have a different price scale.
in New York, it is usually 7-10 dollars sq ft
