 Take a look around, you will see brick homes that are still standing today, which were built hundreds of years ago. In fact, companies such as ACME Brick provide a 100 year Limited Guarantee for Homebuyers.  With a guarantee like that, there must be substantial evidence that bricks should not only be the smartest of the three little pigs choices of home, but also, perhaps, your choice.

Brick is energy efficient keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Rotting, is not an issue with brick (imagine little to no upkeep or maintenance)  and because bricks will not burn, fire insurance premiums are drastically reduced. Another perk, is that the resale value of your home can be enhanced by possibly 6% or more, due to using brick.

Bricks today come in various patterns, colors and price ranges. With over 1000 styles offered, you can view choices and compare them online. Some sites will allow you to upload homes to see how the brick exterior will look and offer side by side comparisons of brick versus other cladding choices for you to view. However, the most popular method of brick shopping is through a vendor, who will provide samples for you to view before purchase.

So, maybe the little pig, from the story of lore is still relevant today! Why take chances on your home's structure, when you can have a safe, sturdy, long standing home made of Bricks!

I always like brick homes - not only for the esthetic but also for energy efficiency. Great post Dave.
