How much does masonry work cost?

• <div><p>The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:</p><ul><li><p>Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-would-it-cost-remove-old-brick-and-brick-house.htm">Brick home exterior</a>: $10–$30 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stone-siding-cost.htm">Stone siding</a>: $35–$50 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project</p></li><li><p>Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is it better to roll or spray exterior paint on brick?

• <div><p>Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the bricks beyond a surface layer. Rolling penetrates the bricks but doesn&rsquo;t work as well on the mortar. A combination of painting and rolling is your best bet. Using a brush to paint brick isn&rsquo;t advised because it is time-consuming and won&rsquo;t penetrate beyond the surface.</p></div>

Q: What are different types of masonry?

• <div><p>Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between stucco and mortar?

• <div><p>Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.</p></div>

Q: How often does brick need to be repointed?

• <div><p>Repointing brick is recommended every 25 to 30 years. Professional repointing can easily last this long if you're following all basic <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/preventive-maintenance-brick-and-stone-exteriors.htm">brick and stone maintenance tips</a>. However, you may find that you need repointing more often if you live in an area that sees harsh weather or if the construction of your home was rushed. Additionally, if you DIY your brick repointing, you&rsquo;re more likely to find that you need additional repointing more often, so every 10 to 15 years might be more appropriate. </p></div>

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "
