Key Takeaways
- Yes, siding can go over brick on a Kenner home. It’s fastened to furring strips anchored into the masonry, never nailed straight to the brick face.
- Brick veneer walls are built to drain. The weep holes near the base have to stay open after the new siding goes on.
- Where siding meets brick, flashing has to send water out and away from the wall instead of letting it run behind either material.
- Covering brick adds depth to the wall, so window and door trim usually needs extending. That’s a cost to plan for.
- Turnkey Siding installs and replaces siding across Kenner and Jefferson Parish. Free estimates at 504-882-9704.
