Brian Hale

It is very difficult to find a mason who wants to repoint a house. And I have used a few different masons, so I know a thing or two about it. Other mason's were reluctant to repoint my house, or simply did not have the expertise/tools. I came across Brian Hale's name from another mason.
After talking with brian, He agreed to do the job but would not give me a time. He just kept saying he would all me when he had a chance to get to it between jobs. His crew usually builds houses and other buildings. My repoint job was a bother I am sure. Well, I was just about to wright him off and he called. He was finishing up a house and had a small spot before the doctor's office was ready to be bricked.
Well, When he did show up, it was fast and furious. His whole crew showed up and started grinding and cutting out all the old bad mortar. I left it up to them to repoint what they felt was needed. I stopped in at lunch and there were masons and tenders seemingly everywhere on my house.
By the time I returned home, the whole place was finished and cleaned up. I did have to use my leaf blower to blow off all the mortar and brick dust, but the job was clean. I called Brian and he arranged to meet me for payment and told me not to paint the new mortar for at least a week.
In the end my house looked great. He actually tore down and replaced some brick that were out of place around my porch, and he reinforced behind the porch where my raised beds are.
I really can't believe how much straightening he was able to do around my house. Many bricks were just laid crooked and looked bad - he removed and replaced them correctly. All in all I was overwhelmed by how much better my brickworked looked. I can't wait to repaint my house this spring!
