Before you hire
How to choose masons
- 1
Ask about mortar matching
Older brick often needs softer mortar. The wrong mix can crack old bricks, so ask what they'll use.
- 2
Ask tuckpointing or repointing
Repointing replaces failed mortar. Tuckpointing adds a contrasting line for looks. Know which you're buying.
- 3
Ask to see the cause
Cracks can come from water or settling. A good mason fixes the cause, not just the crack.
- 4
Check past work
Ask for photos of repairs on homes like yours, so you can judge how well they match.
FAQ
Questions about masons
How often does brick need repointing?
Mortar wears faster than brick. Repoint when joints crack, crumble or recess, often every few decades.
Can I repoint brick myself?
Small spots, maybe. Large walls, chimneys and old brick are better left to a mason.
What causes cracks in brick walls?
Water, freeze-thaw cycles, settling and failing mortar are common causes.
Is a mason the same as a concrete contractor?
They overlap, but masons focus on brick, block and stone. Concrete contractors pour slabs and driveways.
Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?
No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
