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>

Is brick stain permanent?

• <div><p>Staining or painting brick isn’t something to do on a whim. Make sure you really want to live with stained brick, because once you apply the stain, it’s permanent. Sure, it will fade over time, but you can’t restore the brick to its natural tones after applying a stain or paint.</p></div>

Q: What kind of drill bit do I need for brick?

• <div><p>Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don&rsquo;t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they&rsquo;re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.</p></div>

Q: Is brick stain permanent?

• <div><p>Staining or painting brick isn&rsquo;t something to do on a whim. Make sure you really want to live with stained brick, because once you apply the stain, it&rsquo;s permanent. Sure, it will fade over time, but you can&rsquo;t restore the brick to its natural tones after applying a stain or paint.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth keeping old bricks?

• <div><p>If your old bricks are in decent condition and you have the space to store them where they&rsquo;ll be protected from the elements, keeping old bricks is often worthwhile. You&rsquo;d spend anywhere from $70 to a few hundred dollars to have them removed from your property, in which case you won&rsquo;t be able to use them for future projects. Holding on to old bricks in good condition means you can use them later for other DIY projects, potentially saving yourself some money on disposal and new materials down the road.</p></div>

Q: Do bricks crack over time?

• <div><p>Yes, bricks can crack over time. While spotting a crack (or several) might be nerve-wracking, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracked-brick-always-foundation-issue.htm">cracked bricks</a> aren&rsquo;t always cause for concern. In fact, it&rsquo;s normal to see a few small cracks as your foundation settles. However, if the cracks are getting wider or longer or you keep finding new ones, you should have a masonry professional inspect them right away. You should also contact a pro if you notice any large or vertical cracks in your bricks.</p></div>
