How do I remove thin fake brick from the exterior of my house.?

Question

I would like to replace it with fake stone.

Answer 1

I am a brick contractor here in Kansas city. I do fake stone and real stone, brick and block. You can remove it with a chipping hammer, but that is alot of work, or you can clean you brick and lay the fake stone on top of the old brick.
if you want to remove the brick you just chip away. I would suggest you put down a tarp to keep the small pieces of brick from getting in your yard. It will be easier to clean up. Once the brick comes off there will either be a metal panel or wire mesh that will have to come off as well. I would just go on the top of it, the mortar will bond to the brick anyway. use type s mortar it is a little stronger.

Answer 2

For a small or medium sized field use a vigor sander with eighty-60 grit sanding disk. Lightly follow strain to the field. an excessive amount of strain canerode the brick. Wear security glasses and face masks. Brick dirt shall be stired up by means of the sanding.

Answer 3

Hammer and chisel. Get the chisel behind the fake brick and try to get it to pop off. May have to go back and scrape the fake mortar off after, but if you are putting up a fake stone facade, it might not matter too much. Be sure to wear your safety glasses!

Answer 4

Got a hammer? Give it a whack to break it free, just not too hard to damage the backing boards. Use progressive force til you achieve what is necessary.
