Brick veneer or real brick walls—worth the extra hassle?

"Just make sure your installer knows their stuff; uneven application can kinda ruin the illusion..."

Couldn't agree more. Installer expertise is crucial—I've seen stunning veneer jobs in luxury homes that you'd swear were genuine brick. Conversely, a rushed installation can cheapen the entire aesthetic. Attention to detail makes all the difference.

Totally get what you're saying about installer skill. My brother-in-law had brick veneer put up in his den, and honestly, at first glance, you'd swear it was original exposed brick. But look closer... and there's this one corner that drives him nuts because the installer rushed it. Now he jokes it's his "rustic charm," but we all know he's secretly plotting a redo. Moral of the story: don't skimp on the installer, folks.
