Masonry repair costs depend on the scope of work, materials needed, and accessibility of the damaged area. Simple brick pointing might cost a few hundred dollars, while major structural repairs or chimney rebuilds can run several thousand. We provide detailed written estimates that break down labor, materials, and any additional costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most homeowners find that investing in proper repairs upfront saves significant money compared to repeated patch jobs that don’t address underlying problems.
Pointing refers to the initial installation of mortar joints when masonry is first built. Repointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar to restore the structural integrity and weather resistance of the wall. In East Watertown’s climate, repointing is often necessary every 25-50 years depending on the original mortar quality and exposure to weather. Proper repointing involves matching the original mortar composition and color, removing damaged mortar to the correct depth, and applying new mortar using traditional techniques that ensure long-lasting results.
Timeline depends on project size, weather conditions, and complexity of the work. Small repair jobs often take 1-2 days, while larger projects like chimney rebuilds or extensive repointing can take a week or more. Weather plays a big role since mortar needs proper curing conditions – we don’t rush work just to meet arbitrary deadlines if conditions aren’t right. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if weather or unexpected conditions affect the schedule. Quality masonry work requires patience, but the results last for decades when done properly.
Yes, matching existing materials is a specialty of ours, especially important for East Watertown’s many historic properties. We source brick and stone that closely matches your existing masonry in color, texture, and size. For mortar, we analyze the original composition and create custom mixes that match both the appearance and performance characteristics of the original. Sometimes perfect matches aren’t possible due to changes in manufacturing over the decades, but we get as close as possible while ensuring the new work integrates seamlessly with your existing masonry and meets modern performance standards.
Yes, we warranty our completed masonry work because we stand behind our craftsmanship and materials. Warranty terms vary depending on the type of work performed, but typically cover defects in workmanship and premature failure of materials. We use quality materials designed for New England weather conditions and proven installation techniques that minimize warranty claims. If issues do arise during the warranty period, we return promptly to address them at no additional cost. Our goal is masonry work that performs reliably for decades, and our warranty reflects that commitment to long-term quality.
Look for local experience, proper licensing and insurance, detailed written estimates, and examples of completed work similar to your project. A good masonry contractor should be able to explain what work is needed and why, provide realistic timelines, and use appropriate materials for your specific situation. Avoid contractors who show up unsolicited, demand full payment upfront, or pressure you to sign immediately. Check references from recent local projects and verify that they’re properly insured. The lowest bid isn’t always the best value – focus on contractors who demonstrate expertise, professionalism, and commitment to quality workmanship that will last.
