What it is, and why it matters.
Great brick houses are defined by detail: contrasting quoins at the corners, a band of soldier brick, a corbelled cornice, a recessed panel. These cost far less than a whole new wall and change the look completely.
In Nashville and Middle Tennessee we add accent work to new builds and bring character back to plain brick homes, matching the house's era. We also repair the old details: sagging corbels, chipped quoins and missing sills.
Four things done right.

Details chosen to match the home's era and form.
Crisp edges

Brick Accents & Quoins: common questions
Can you add quoins to an existing house?
Often yes. We can add them in brick or stone veneer at the corners, tied in carefully so they look original.
Do accents change the cost a lot?
Accent bands and quoins are a small slice of the total cost compared to a new exterior, and usually the most noticeable upgrade for the money.
