79 Mr. Velasquez has done an outstanding job repairing our limestone pool deck. He is meticulous about determining the requirements of the job and performing the work in a timely and professional manner. I highly recommend his company for your masonry project.
Clayton Diehr called and came to bid on the job, the written bid arrived as promised and I scheduled the job with him. He gave me a date and promised to be completed within 2 days. He showed up with a helper on time and completed the project as promised. The finished brick wall looks great...
Overall, this project did not go well. Weaver assured us that the job would be completed in 2-3 weeks from commencement. (It wasn't) Thus began the most frustrating and problematic contractor experience I have ever faced. The actual job took 3 months, during which time we could not...
Tremendous experience from start to finish. Everyone we dealt with was considerate and their masonry skills were excellent. They did more than they originally planned to do, and everything was done to the highest standards.
FOX BRICK & STONE MASONRY SERVICEOverall, we were very happy with the way the project went and with the final product.

I would not hesitate to...

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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
