A brick face on your house, done the right way.
New brick veneer for additions, new builds and whole-house upgrades, with flashing, weep holes, ties and a drainage gap that keep the wall dry behind the brick.
- Wall system: Brick, air gap, flashing, weep holes and ties
- Support: A foundation ledge or shelf angle carries the brick
- Openings: Lintels, sills and flashing at every window and door
What it is, and why it matters.
Brick veneer is a single layer of brick tied to a structural wall. It looks like solid brick, but it only works well if the details behind the brick are right: a drainage gap, flashing at the base and over openings, weep holes and metal ties that hold the veneer to the wall.
We install brick veneer on additions, new homes and renovations in Nashville and the surrounding cities. We start with the foundation ledge and the flashing, set the brick in careful courses and finish with clean tooled joints.
Four things done right.
Flashing and weeps
Flashing at the base and over openings sends water out through weep holes, not into the wall.
Ties that hold
Corrosion-resistant ties fasten the brick to the structure at the right spacing.
Straight courses
Layout starts from a story pole so courses meet window sills, heads and corners cleanly.
A neat finish
Joints are tooled, the brick is cleaned and the area around the house is left tidy.

Brick Veneer Installation: common questions
Is brick veneer real brick?
Yes. It is real clay brick, one layer thick, tied to a backing wall. The wall behind carries the weight of the house, and the foundation carries the weight of the brick.
Can I add brick to a house that has siding now?
Often yes, if the foundation has a ledge wide enough or can be modified to carry the brick. We look at the foundation first and tell you what it will take.
