Q: 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&ndash;$45 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Natural stone wall: $40&ndash;$110 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Manufactured stone veneer: $20&ndash;$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&ndash;$30 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick siding: $3&ndash;$10 per square foot</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stone-siding-cost.htm">Stone siding</a>: $35&ndash;$50 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick step replacement: $20&ndash;$30 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick wall repair: $20&ndash;$40 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Chimney repairs: $160&ndash;$750 per project</p></li><li><p>Tuckpointing: $5&ndash;$25 per square foot</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the downside of painting brick?

• <div><p>While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.</p><p>Painting brick is porous, meaning it&rsquo;s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.</p><p>Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you&rsquo;ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it&rsquo;s hard to go back without some serious power washing&mdash;another added cost.</p></div>

Q: Why can’t I drill into the brick?

• <div><p>Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.</p></div>

Q: Is brick staining cheaper than painting?

• <div><p>Initially, brick staining is not cheaper than painting. However, while it has a higher up-front cost, it may be more cost-effective in the long run. Brick stain can last for 20 years or longer, compared to paint, which usually starts to peel away in three to five years.</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>

The best seal coating job we have ever had done on our driveway! The attention to detail was incredible! Everything was hand done, with no drips or splatter on the cobble stone edges or the garage doors! Would highly recommend this company!
