Masonry costs vary significantly based on project scope, materials, and site conditions. Simple brick repointing might run $8-15 per square foot, while new stone installations can range from $20-40 per square foot depending on stone type and complexity. Chimney repairs typically start around $500 for minor work and can reach several thousand for major reconstruction. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific project, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
Spring through fall offers the best conditions for masonry work in Massachusetts. We typically schedule projects from April through October when temperatures stay consistently above freezing. Mortar needs proper curing time and won’t set correctly in freezing conditions. However, we can handle emergency repairs year-round when necessary. Winter planning is actually ideal for larger projects since you can secure your spot in our schedule and have materials ready for spring installation. We recommend booking major projects early in the year to ensure availability during peak season.
Project timeline depends on scope and weather conditions. Small repairs like repointing a chimney or fixing a few loose bricks usually take 1-2 days. Medium projects like building a retaining wall or stone patio typically require 3-7 days. Large installations or complete rebuilds can take 1-3 weeks depending on complexity. Weather delays are always possible, but we provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed of any changes. We don’t rush quality work, but we also don’t drag projects out unnecessarily. Most customers are surprised how efficiently we complete jobs when everything is planned properly.
Yes, we provide written warranties on both workmanship and materials. Our labor warranty covers installation quality for two years, while material warranties vary by product but typically range from 5-25 years depending on what we’re installing. We use quality materials from established suppliers and stand behind our installation methods. If you have any issues related to our workmanship, we’ll return to address them at no charge. We also help you navigate any manufacturer warranty claims if material defects occur. Having a local contractor means you can actually reach us for warranty service when needed.
Matching existing masonry is one of our specialties, especially important for historic Riverside properties. We source materials from regional quarries and suppliers who carry stones that complement Massachusetts architecture. For repairs, we bring samples to match color, texture, and size as closely as possible. Perfect matches aren’t always possible with natural stone, but we get close enough that repairs blend seamlessly with existing work. We also have experience aging new mortar to match older joints. Before starting any project, we show you material samples so you can approve the match before installation begins.
Yes, we’re fully licensed and insured for masonry work throughout Massachusetts. We carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage to protect both our crew and your property. Our licensing is current and verifiable through state databases. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any project, and many customers request this for their own protection. Working with properly licensed and insured contractors protects you from liability if accidents occur and ensures the work meets local building code requirements. Never hire masonry contractors who can’t provide current licensing and insurance documentation.
