"Elon inspected my foundation to determine what walls were holding water. He took measurements and took time to share a video of the repair he was recommending. I will have four anchors installed on the problem wall at a very fair price."

"Thank you and your crew for the great exterior basement wall waterproofing. Your crew was thorough, courteous, and went out of their way to please. When finished, they made sure everything was cleaned up. Both me and my neighbor, whose side walkway and driveway were used to make access easier, couldn't tell that you were even there, except for the 20+ ft of a foot of topsoil over the pea gravel. They also added topsoil along the front of house to make sure drainage was pitched away from the house. You are definitely on my contractor approved list, and I will definitely recommend you."

"The man that came to our house was very nice and we felt as though he was not trying to sell us a basement system, but more-so a piece of mind. Also, he explained exactly where everything would be and how it would all work. Thanks, Roger!"

"I had Ever Dry inspect my basement due to water coming out of the trap door at the bottom on my furnace chimney. After a full inspection they determined that my problem was not my basement, it was with the chimney. They gave us suggestions on how to fix the issue even though it was not basement related which showed that they go out of their way to help the homeowner. Even though we didn't need their services, they still took the time to educate us on what signs we should look for in the future in case a basement issues begin. I feel more knowledgeable about basement walls and foundation, and found their suggestions to address our problem to be extremely valuable. Chuck B. and his co-worker Ray are tremendous assets for Ever Dry, and very trustworthy representatives of this company."

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.
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
A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:
Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings
Freestanding stone or brick walls
Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces
Cement block basement or crawl space walls
Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.
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.
