I would recommend educating yourself via, google, home depot, lowe's then contacting a contractor prior having anyone do this for you. It certainly can update a house looks great!

Do you mean changing it to look like a stucco finish?

FIRST ANSWER

Are you proposing to cover your brick exterior with concrete stucco? I have seen instances in GA where homeowners have done this. Contact a reputable contractor who specializes in stucco in your area.

To do it right, I would think that they would first wrap the exterior with a metal mesh or base material secured with masonry nails. Then, 2, 3, or more coats of stucco would be applied with a trowel. Stucco can be tinted with color and provide a new look for your home's exterior.
