How is masonry work priced?

What can affect the cost of a masonry project?

How do I request an estimate?

Masonry projects are priced based on the specific scope of work rather than simply using a standard price per square foot. Factors may include labor, materials, project access, demolition, preparation, reinforcement, equipment, height, site conditions, design requirements, and the overall complexity of the project.

What can affect the cost of a masonry project?

Several factors can influence the final cost, including:

· Type and quantity of masonry materials

· Labor requirements

· Site accessibility

· Demolition or removal of existing masonry

· Structural requirements

· Reinforcement

· Footings or foundations

· Scaffolding or specialty equipment

· Material availability

· Custom designs or detailing

FAQ's

Do you build new brick and block walls?

Yes. We construct new masonry walls using materials and installation methods appropriate for the project. We can work from architectural plans, engineering drawings, specifications, or an agreed-upon scope of work.

Do you install CMU block?

Yes. We install concrete masonry units (CMU) for a variety of residential and commercial applications, including structural and non-structural walls, site walls, partitions, enclosures, and other masonry construction.

Do you install brick veneer?

Yes. Brick veneer can provide the appearance and durability of brick while being incorporated into a variety of building designs. Installation requirements depend on the specific building and project design.

FAQ's

Do you work with natural and manufactured stone?

Yes. We work with both natural and manufactured stone products. Material selection and installation methods depend on the specific application and manufacturer’s requirements.

Can you build retaining walls?

Yes, depending on the size, design, site conditions, and engineering requirements. Larger or structurally significant retaining walls may require engineering and permitting before construction can begin.

Can you build fireplaces, chimneys, and outdoor masonry features?

Yes. Depending on the project, we can provide masonry construction for fireplaces, chimneys, outdoor fireplaces, BBQ areas, outdoor kitchens, columns, walls, and other custom masonry features.

FAQ's

Can you repair cracked brick or masonry?

In many cases, yes. The appropriate repair depends on the cause, location, size, and severity of the cracking. Some cracks may be cosmetic, while others can indicate movement, settlement, water intrusion, or another underlying issue. We evaluate the condition before recommending a repair.

Can you match existing brick?

We can often source brick that closely matches the existing material. Exact matches are not always possible, particularly with older masonry, because brick colors, textures, sizes, and manufacturing processes can vary. We will discuss available options before proceeding.

Can you match existing mortar?

In many cases, yes. Matching mortar involves more than simply matching its color. The mortar’s composition, color, texture, joint profile, and age can all affect the appearance of the finished repair.

What is mortar repointing?

Repointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from masonry joints and replacing it with new mortar. Proper repointing can help restore the appearance and weather resistance of masonry while helping extend the life of the wall.

FAQ's

How do I know whether my masonry needs to be repaired or rebuilt?

That depends on the condition of the masonry and the underlying cause of the damage. If deterioration is limited to individual areas or mortar joints, repair may be appropriate. If there is significant structural movement, widespread deterioration, or extensive damage, partial or complete reconstruction may be necessary.

We recommend having significant cracking, movement, bulging, or water intrusion evaluated rather than simply covering up the visible damage.

How often should masonry be inspected?

We recommend periodically inspecting masonry for cracked or missing mortar, damaged masonry units, water intrusion, staining, settlement, movement, and other signs of deterioration. Regular inspections can help identify smaller problems before they become more extensive repairs.

How do I know if my masonry needs maintenance?

Look for signs such as:

· Cracked or missing mortar

· Loose or damaged bricks or blocks

· Bulging or leaning walls

· Water staining

· Efflorescence

· Deteriorated mortar joints

· Cracks around windows and doors

· Separation between masonry and adjacent materials

· Signs of settlement or movement

If you notice any of these conditions, contact us for an evaluation.
