Most residential masonry repairs take 2-5 days depending on the scope of work. Small brick repairs or repointing projects often finish in 1-2 days, while chimney rebuilds or extensive foundation work may take a week or more. Weather affects the timeline since mortar needs proper curing conditions. We provide realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated if conditions require schedule adjustments. The key is not rushing the process – proper curing time ensures the repair lasts decades instead of failing in a few years.
New England’s freeze-thaw cycles are the main culprit. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and makes the cracks bigger. Over time, this breaks down the mortar bond. Poor initial installation also causes premature failure – if the mortar mix was wrong or the joints weren’t properly filled, they’ll fail faster. Age is another factor; most mortar joints need repointing every 25-30 years regardless of quality. The good news is that catching problems early usually means simpler, less expensive repairs than waiting until bricks start falling out.
Costs vary significantly based on the type of work, materials, and project complexity. Simple repointing might run $8-15 per square foot, while complete chimney rebuilds can cost $3,000-8,000 or more. Foundation repairs, retaining walls, and custom stonework all have different pricing structures. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials and labor so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. Getting multiple quotes is smart, but remember that the cheapest option often becomes the most expensive when you have to redo failed work.
Limited masonry work can be done in winter, but temperature restrictions apply. Mortar won’t cure properly when temperatures drop below 40°F, and freezing conditions can ruin fresh work. We can do emergency repairs using special cold-weather techniques and additives, but major projects should wait for warmer weather. The best time for masonry work in New England is late spring through early fall. Planning ahead and scheduling during good weather ensures better results and longer-lasting repairs than rushing work in poor conditions.
Most basic masonry repairs don’t require permits, but structural work often does. Chimney rebuilds, foundation repairs, and retaining walls over certain heights typically need permits and inspections. Commercial projects almost always require permits. We’re familiar with Everett’s building codes and can help determine what permits are needed for your specific project. When permits are required, we handle the application process and coordinate with inspectors. It’s better to get proper permits upfront than deal with code violations later when you sell your property.
Look for obvious signs like loose or falling bricks, large cracks, or water stains on interior walls near masonry. Leaning chimneys, bulging walls, or gaps where mortar has fallen out completely need immediate attention. White chalky deposits on brick surfaces indicate water problems that will get worse. If you can easily scrape out mortar with a screwdriver, the joints need repointing soon. When in doubt, get a professional assessment – small problems caught early are much cheaper to fix than structural damage that’s been ignored for years.
