Brick homes and business have many benefits.

Bricks are Resilient and Durable

If you build a full brick home, your home will be weatherproof and age proof, with minimal upkeep throughout the time you live there. Brick is a great option for those of us living in Ohio or the Midwest with muggy summers and cold winters. This building material truly stands the test of time. There is no upkeep needed to maintain aesthetics and durability. Bricks are also resistant to termites.

Manufactured from naturally occurring materials like shale and clay. This material is naturally occurring and abundant in mines. Bricks can even be recycled and reused. Making brick a great option for our environment. If you suffer from allergies or other environmental sensitivities, brick offers virtually no emissions. They don’t contain harsh chemicals, plastics, or artificial compounds, making homes and businesses healthy environments to be in. Bricks also have an energy-efficient quality with the ability to absorb and store heat energy keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Noise Cancelling

Brick provides more sound insulation and acts as a sound barrier. No matter if that’s in-between rooms within a home or from traffic noise outside. Bricks are very dense so sounds are not able to transfer through the wall.

If you build with brick your home will appreciate at a higher rate than the other year after year.
