I have a brick foundation (approx. 9 feet high) on my multifamily that is weathering. It should have been repointed a while ago, and now bricks are breaking and flaking. It seems the brick was sandblasted for some reason before I had purchased it, and the remaining face is very porous.

I have had masons out to inspect it and they want to grind it, point it, and seal it, but I feel it will still look like crap because of the sandblasting. Structurally it is sound.

I would love to just fill the cracks, cap it, and put on a brick veneer. Any suggestions? It's an investment property, so I'm looking for the most bang for the buck.

Thanks.
