Use this guide to decide whether your project may need masonry work and to prepare for a useful conversation with a company.

When masonry work may fit

Masonry may be relevant for loose or damaged brick, block, or stone; mortar that is crumbling or missing; or a wall or other masonry feature that needs repair or rebuilding. If you’re unsure what the damage involves, describe what you see and ask the company to assess the work needed.

What to discuss during a site visit

Show the company the area you want repaired and explain what you want the finished work to do. Ask them to describe the proposed repair and whether it addresses only visible damage or includes related work. Request a written scope so you can see what is included before agreeing.

Questions to ask a masonry company

Ask questions that clarify whether the company has handled work like yours and what the proposed job includes.

  • Have you worked on this type of brick, block, or stone repair?
  • Are you proposing a repair or a rebuild, and why?
  • Will the replacement material and finish match the existing masonry?
  • Does the scope include removing damaged material and cleaning up the work area?
  • What could change the scope once work begins, and how would you discuss that with me?

Compare the proposed work, not just the description

Compare written scopes for the same work area and outcome. Check that each explains the repair method, materials, included work, exclusions, and how changes will be handled. Confirm the company is willing to answer questions about the specific masonry and finish involved.

Prepare before you contact a company

Note which area needs attention, what you want repaired, and any access constraints. Photos can help explain the location, but let the company assess the work before settling on a repair plan. Ask for the proposed scope in writing.
