To put new brick siding on your home, you can plan on spending anywhere between $12,000 and $30,000. The final amount on your bill will depend on what kind of siding you choose, how much of your house is getting new siding, as well as labor and additional supplies like mortar.

You can also opt for a manufactured stone or actual brick. The thicker the siding, the more expensive it can get. Here are some more details about how much you will pay for new brick siding.

Types of Brick Siding

Ranging between $3 to $10 per square foot, the final bill for new brick siding will be affected by the type of siding you choose. Costs vary between face brick siding, thin brick veneers, faux brick panel siding, or faux brick veneer.

Face brick siding

Costing between $4 and $8, this siding is made from real bricks and is about 4” thick. This type of siding takes longer to install than other types of brick siding.

Thin brick veneers

These light strips are made of actual brick but are only 1” thick and cost between $3 to $10 per square foot.

Faux brick panel siding

Faux brick panel siding is on the more expensive end, although it’s not as pricey as solid masonry. At $6 to $10 per square foot, faux brick panels are made from epoxy or polyurethane.

Faux brick veneer

Made from strips of manufactured stone, a faux brick veneer will cost around $4 to $10 per square foot.

Your bottom line depends on the type of siding you choose as well as the square footage of your home. You also have to consider the kind of professional you choose and the extra materials.

Good to Know

Costs vary between face brick siding, thin brick veneers, faux brick panel siding, or faux brick veneer.

Additional Costs

Along with the siding type, you will also need to plan for additional materials and the price of labor, depending on the experience level and whether or not the professional is licensed.

If you choose a pro who has decades of experience and has your state’s mandated licenses for contractors specializing in siding, you can expect to pay them a wage commensurate with their skills. You’ll pay anywhere from $3 to $20 per square foot in labor alone.

For brick construction, in particular, you need to pay for mortar as well as labor and materials. Mortar will cost you about $0.50 per square foot. Depending on how large your house is, and if you’re putting siding on all of it or just a portion, you can expect to pay around $18,000 in total costs for a 2,500 square foot home.

If you’re keen on the other benefits of brick siding, but you don’t like the way it looks, you can always have it painted. Be forewarned, however, that once you paint your bricks siding, it can never go back to its original state, and you must keep painting it to retain its fresh appearance.

When to Call a Pro

Whether you’re opting for faux brick panel siding or face brick siding, you should have an understanding of what goes into your brick siding estimate. Brick siding is a popular choice among homeowners due to its classic appearance, imperviousness, and durability.
