Maintenance Savings

Brick never needs painting or cleaning. It never rots, fades, peels, or dents. Brick can handle anything nature throws at it, including ice, snow, high winds and even the kind of hail storm which created damage on so many central Indiana homes in 2006.

Brick is a proven insulator. It is slow to lose or absorb heat, which reduces the load on your heating and cooling system, and on your monthly energy bills.

Brick is a fireproof material. That's why many insurance companies offer reduced rates. Ask your insurance agent to compute your potential savings with brick.
