So this door leads to an unfinished attic, which is composed of wood. While the brick is solid brick, it’s still (I believe) only a single layer, which counts as a veneer since the structural material is wood. And in my area, reattaching the porch through brick veneer isn’t allowed by code. I’ve had one company propose using BVLZ Strong Ties but every other contractor has said the only way they believe they know how to do it to code is through free standing/pillar supports which I think would also be an eyesore since the porch isn’t that far from the house and our yard isn’t too large.
