What’s the difference between masonry and concrete?

<div><p>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. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-concrete.htm">Types of concrete</a> applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.</p></div>

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>

What does a mason do?

<div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings</p></li><li><p>Freestanding stone or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-wall-cost.htm">brick walls</a></p></li><li><p>Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces</p></li><li><p>Cement block basement or crawl space walls</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Why is masonry work so expensive?

<div><p>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.</p></div>

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>
