Brick veneer siding by JB Mohler Masonry

Brick veneer offers the timeless aesthetic and durability of traditional masonry without the massive structural weight. Whether you are looking to enhance an exterior facade or create a stunning interior accent wall, professional brick veneer installation provides the perfect balance of form and function for Massachusetts homes.

What is Brick Veneer?

Unlike a “solid” brick wall that supports the weight of the house, brick veneer is a non-structural facing. It can be made of real clay bricks sliced thin or high-quality manufactured materials. Because it is lightweight, it doesn’t require the heavy concrete footings that full-dimension brick demands, making it a versatile and cost-effective choice for both new builds and historic renovations.

Common Applications in New England

  • Exterior Facades: Upgrade your home’s curb appeal with a full-brick look that is easier to maintain than wood siding.
  • Interior Accent Walls: Add industrial or rustic character to kitchens, living rooms, and master bedrooms.
  • Fireplace Refacing: Transform a dated hearth into a masterpiece without a full chimney teardown.
  • Kitchen Backsplashes: Use thin brick for a durable, heat-resistant surface that adds incredible texture to your cooking space.

The Importance of Expert Installation

In our climate, moisture management is the most critical part of a veneer project. If water gets trapped behind an exterior veneer, it can cause the brick to “spall” or rot the wood framing of your home. At JB Mohler Masonry, we ensure every installation includes the proper flashing and moisture barriers to protect your investment for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is brick veneer real brick? Yes, most of our installations use natural clay bricks that are simply cut thinner for easier mounting.
  • Can it be installed over existing siding? Usually, the old siding must be removed to ensure a flat, stable substrate and a proper moisture barrier.
  • Does it require maintenance? Very little. Occasional inspections of the mortar joints (repointing) will keep the wall waterproof for decades.

Homeowner's photo of a chimney leaking through the ceiling
Hi — chimney's leaking into the family room after big storms. Bolton. What are we looking at?
That's a failed crown — see the cracking at the top? Contained fix if we get it before winter. Rough range: a day of work, not a rebuild. Want us to come confirm? — Jeff
