How to pay less

Repoint early. Fixing mortar before water gets in is far cheaper than replacing bricks.
Bundle chimney and wall repairs into one visit to save on setup and scaffolding.
Ask whether the quote is for repointing or decorative tuckpointing, since they're priced differently.
Compare at least two or three quotes for the same scope. Pros on Job Hound never pay for leads, so no lead fee is built into their price.
