How to Build a Rock-Solid Brick Foundation
As a homeowner, you may be wondering how you can repair your brick without spending too much money. Luckily, there are many affordable options available to help improve the look of your home and save some cash in the process. In this blog post we will discuss three different ways for budget-friendly brick repairs that anyone can do themselves!
Option One: Repairing Patches of Missing Brick. This is by far the cheapest option for budget-friendly brick repairs that you can do at home. You will need to purchase a few bricks from your local hardware store or salvage yard and patch in any spots where there are missing pieces of brick on your house. If the gaps between these bricks bother you, feel free to use mortar to fill them in as well!
Option Two: Cleaning Stains off Your Bricks. Another way for budget-friendly brick repairs is cleaning stains off of your existing ones. All you have to do is get some chalkboard paint and apply it over the stained area with a foam brush before wiping away excess paint with a cloth dipped in solution and then cleaning of the edges.
Option Three: Adding a Brick Veneer. If you are looking for budget-friendly brick repairs that will provide a more long-term solution, adding a brick veneer is the best option! All it takes is some mortar and bricks to attach your new layer of brick to your old one. Be careful not to use too much pressure when applying or else you can damage the original bricks beneath!
In addition, as with any home improvement project please keep in mind safety precautions such as gloves, eye protection, ear plugs etc… before beginning this type of project on yourself.
