Exterior finish for new addition

6 years ago

We are building an addition on the back of the house. We are not sure if we can match the existing brick. If we can match the brick, is it worth the cost? Other options include trying to save enough brick from demo for the bottom half of the addition and do siding on the top half OR doing all siding.

All brick

All siding

1/2 brick, 1/2 siding

1/2 and 1/2 can be interesting I linked one below from Pinterest you can look for more on there. It would be helpful if people saw a picture of the house and where you are building the addition the style has to go with the character of the house and when it was built to bring out its beauty. I will give my final vote if you can upload some pictures, please.
