  • Opening Intro -

    Vinyl siding is a great way to make your home look fresh and new.

    But, if you have brick on the outside of your home, can you put vinyl siding over it?

    The answer is YES!

-------------------------------------

Let’s talk about what you’ll need to do to install vinyl siding over your existing brick exterior.

Install Vinyl Siding Over Brick

Brick is a great option for adding curb appeal to a home. However, it’s not the only option. If you have brick on the exterior of your home, you can install vinyl siding over it to give your home a fresh new look.

Installing vinyl siding over the brick is easy and can be completed in just a few steps. The main thing is that the vinyl siding can’t be installed directly over the brick.

To create a watertight seal, vinyl siding needs to be installed over a smooth, even surface. This is easily accomplished by installing plywood or OSB as sheathing between the brick and the vinyl siding.

You’ll also need to seal any cracks or openings where water might enter behind the brick, as this could lead to problems later on if left unchecked.

What You’ll Need to Install Vinyl Siding

Not everything is completely straightforward when it comes to installing vinyl over brick. You’ll need to take the time to plan out your design and make sure you have all the right materials on hand. Here are the things you’ll need for this project:

  1. Vinyl siding in any color of your choice (we offer 34 colors)
  2. Plywood or OSB
  3. Caulk or other material to seal cracks or openings behind the brick

While you could do the installation yourself, it’s best to hire a professional. It can be time-consuming to install.

Plus, there are many common mistakes that people make that can cause the siding to leak, come loose, or otherwise not protect your home the way you’d like. If you want the vinyl siding to last long and look good, then working with a professional is your best option.

Why Install Vinyl Siding Over Brick?

When we install vinyl siding over brick, you can be assured of a few things.

  • First, your new siding will never fade or chalk. With occasional cleaning and proper maintenance, it will look add to your home’s appearance for years to come.
  • Second, it will add insulation to your home. This will make your home warmer in the winter months and cooler in the summer months, both of which can help decrease your utility bills.
  • Finally, the installation of our 17-foot panels means fewer seams. Fewer seams mean fewer points where the installation can fail or be damaged by weather. This means your vinyl siding will protect your home through any weather for many years.

Installing vinyl siding over the brick is a lot easier than you may think. Although vinyl siding might not be as popular as wood, stone, or aluminum, it does have a few benefits.

For one, vinyl siding is more durable and lasts longer than other types of siding. It also has the ability to resist fire, sun, and moisture damage better than other types of siding.

Overall, vinyl siding is a great option for homeowners who want to protect their homes and still maintain a modern look.
