Nine in 10 homeowners (90%) find brick an appealing home exterior, finds Boral Bricks. They most appreciate brick’s appearance (71%) and low maintenance requirements (68%).
Homeowners in the Midwest and South are more likely than those in the West or Northeast to find brick appealing. Midwestern homeowners particularly like brick’s positive affect on resale value, perhaps because of the dismal housing market in that region during the recession. [Home/Housing]
