If it’s done right, masonry work should last a minimum of 20-30 years, even with New England’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles. The key is using the right materials and techniques for our climate. We use mortar mixes designed for cold-weather expansion and contraction, and we never rush work during marginal weather conditions. Repointing work typically lasts 15-25 years, while structural repairs like foundation work should be permanent when done correctly. The biggest factor in longevity is addressing water infiltration issues at the same time as the visible damage.
Repointing is a process that involves removing old, deteriorated mortar and replacing it with new mortar while keeping the existing stones or bricks. Repointing works when the masonry units themselves are still in good condition. With rebuilding, part or all of the wall is taken down and reconstructed, usually because the stones or bricks have deteriorated beyond repair or the wall has structural issues. Repointing costs significantly less but only works if the damage isn’t too severe. We’ll tell you honestly which approach your situation requires.
Yes, matching existing materials is a crucial part of quality masonry work. We source stone and brick from reputable suppliers who specialize in matching older materials, and we can often find reclaimed materials that blend perfectly with your existing structure. For mortar, we analyze the existing mix to determine the right color and texture. The goal is repairs that look like they’ve always been there. Sometimes this means using slightly weathered materials rather than brand-new ones that would stand out.
We don’t do masonry work when temperatures are below freezing or when freezing weather is expected within 48 hours of completion. Mortar needs proper curing times and temperatures to achieve full strength. Emergency repairs might require temporary weatherproofing until conditions allow us to complete permanent work. We plan projects around weather forecasts and communicate clearly about any delays. It’s better to wait for proper conditions than to rush work that won’t hold up. Most of our exterior masonry work takes place between April and November.
First and foremost, verify licensing and insurance. Look for local masonry contractors who can show you real-life examples of work they’ve completed; preferably projects you can drive by and see. Get detailed written estimates that specify the materials and methods that will be used, not just vague descriptions. Always ask a masonry company about their experience with your specific type of project. A contractor who mostly handles new construction may not be the right fit for historic restoration or detailed stone masonry work. Request references from recent local jobs, especially ones that are similar to yours. Reputable masonry contractors will be happy to provide them and share examples of their work so you can feel confident in their ability to deliver the right results.
Costs vary significantly and depend on the scope of the work, the materials needed, and the accessibility of the repair area. Simple repointing might run $15-25 per square foot, while structural repairs or rebuilding can cost $50-100+ per square foot. Chimney repairs range from $500 for minor work to $5,000+ for rebuilding. Foundation work depends on the extent of damage and access requirements. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific situation. The key is addressing problems before they become major structural issues, which always costs more to fix.
