Customers say: Terrific value

"It went very well. We are in the process of selling a home in the Indy area and potential buyers want chimney repaired and crack in side of (brick) house repaired. Looked for highly rated pros and found a couple. One company said they were booked for 5-6 months. Then we found Showecker Masonry. They responded promptly and were out to do a quote within a day or two. They found additional problems with crack in side of house. They gave us quotes on the chimney and two options on the wall crack. Talked to the realtor and selected one of two options. This took a few days. After hearing from realtor, called them back and they were out to start the repair work the same day or the next day (do not remember). The work was completed in two days and approved by the realtor. Very responsive; good work; reasonable price. Would definitely hire them again!"

"I appreciated their honesty, integrity to give a reasonable quote compared to the other quotes, I received and followed through, to provide great workmanship on my old chimney and fixed it new, promptly. They also cleaned up their construction site. I certainly appreciated the opportunity, to have them work on my chimney. I truly recommend Begley Masonry, LLC."

"I had a flooded basement due to a storm. In the process also discovered 2 large foundations cracks. After calling in several foundation repair companies Hitman was the only one who took the time to properly diagnose the cause of my flood. Their team then fixed and repaired all of the issues in a day. I am so grateful because this flood was uninsured costs I didn’t want to face again. One of the other companies I had come in to diagnose gave me a $10,000 proposal that wouldn’t have even fixed the problems. Thank you Hitman for running an exceptional business."

"These guys are wonderful. They even answered some questions unrelated to the work I hired them for. I totally recommend them for your concrete/masonry needs. I hired them to do some tuck pointing and mold removal on my rental property. They did an amazing job, the guys were courteous and respectful, and the price definitely made me happy!"

"It worked out really well. Everything went well and I have not had any problem since the work was done. The cost of the service was pretty expensive. It was reasonable compared to everything else that I found. It was an expensive thing to do because I had to have two walls stripped. It was not cheap but they did a good job. I would absolutely use them again in the future."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.

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:

  • Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot

  • Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot

  • Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot

  • Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot

  • Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot

  • Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project

  • Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot

You should clean your home’s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to cleaning brick fireplaces. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home’s curb appeal.

No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause.
