"I highly recommend Lenâ s company Trilite. The process of replacing my brick with stone veneer went so smoothly. Since Trilite was the manufacturer and the installer in my project, I was able to choose from a myriad of stone and colors. The quality and workmanship of the masons was above and beyond what I expected. The stone is beautiful and it was all done in a timely manner and at a fair price. For stone veneer this is the place!!"

I started in the Masonry business in 1976 and have been working ever since. I started my business in 1980 and incorporated in 1986. We are a small company with an experienced crew. They've all worked with me for the last 20 years. Experienced with working with condo associations and large building tuck pointing, brickwork, and stone work.
"We had three estimates and Roger was our clear choice because he noticed so many important things that needed fixing that the other two missed. His higher level of expertise was obvious. This work included many projects, involving a tremendous amount of labor. It took several weeks to totally complete. Roger offered suggestions for our front steps, which could have been left as concrete but we decided to splurge and use our favorite rock as an overlay. We special ordered Morton Gneiss (rock) from Coldspring for the step overlays and the buttress caps, in addition to the special order of two colors of brick for the buttresses. We personally researched and chose the rock and the brick. Roger has the experience and expertise to know what should be done and how best to do it. We enjoyed meeting and working with Roger and his crew. He has the most amazing crew of extremely experienced and expert workers. We can't say enough good things about Curtis, Chris, and Chaz. Their work was remarkably meticulous and skilled and showed the pride they take in it. In addition, they are very personable and courteous. They tidied up before leaving each day. If they came upon unforeseen problems, they discussed them with us and then fixed them, some at no extra charge. They even prepared a base and moved the two former heavy concrete buttress caps to our boulevard to use as a walkway at no charge. As a potential customer, if Roger doesn't get back to you right away, don't give up because he does return calls and he is most definitely worth the wait. He is extremely busy and we feel very fortunate that he was the contractor for our project."

Brick construction offers numerous benefits, including exceptional longevity, natural resistance to fire, and substantial durability against weather extremes. The thermal mass of brick helps regulate indoor temperatures, potentially reducing energy consumption. Brick homes often maintain their aesthetic appeal with minimal maintenance, and many buyers perceive them as premium properties, potentially supporting stronger resale values compared to homes built with other materials.
Brick veneer consists of a single layer of brick attached to a standard wood-framed wall, providing the aesthetic of brick without serving as the structural support. This approach costs between $3 and $20 per square foot, depending on the specific type. Structural brick construction uses brick as the actual load-bearing wall material, requiring more extensive materials and specialized construction techniques. Most contemporary "brick houses" utilize the veneer approach rather than true structural brick.
Adding brick siding to an existing home costs $72,000 for a 2,000-square-foot residence. Real brick siding ranges from $10 to $20 per square foot, while more budget-friendly alternatives include thin brick veneer ($3 to $10 per square foot) and faux brick panels ($6 to $13 per square foot). This renovation requires professional installation to ensure proper moisture barriers and structural attachment.
