Replacing Hardiplank Siding With Brick

A few years ago we were headed on a little family vacay it seemed a million things needed to be done before we could get out of town.

Replacing hardiplank siding with brick.

Many houses in our neighborhood have brick fronts with the remaining 3 sides siding. Isolated or small areas of damage can usually be repaired for a reasonable cost. Then paper the wall with 15 or 30. You don t have to but it is easier that way.

I would take the hardiplank off the day before the bricklayer arrives. Vinyl siding can be removed from a house and brick put in its place. The problems are only on the front which has full southern exposure full sun rain. Here is a peek at our damaged hardie board.

Vinyl siding can be removed from a house and brick put in its place. The siding is that cheap stuff that swells when it gets wet. Instead of replacing with hardiplank i m looking into redoing just the front with brick or novabrik. You have to start at the top and strip down.

The most important part of the job will be underground as a solid foundation must support the new brick. Before removing existing siding and replacing it with brick carefully consider whether or not the siding actually needs to be taken down.
