Masonry · How long
Say how long a brick repointing takes
People go quiet when they cannot picture the disruption. Say what the days look like. Do not promise a start date you do not have.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
The real schedule
Mortar does not cure in a freeze. If the wall is wet now, say what can be done before winter and what should wait. A partner who has not stood at the wall often thinks tuckpointing and rebuilding are the same price.
What the price is not
The $8,400 includes grind and repoint the street face, and replace two spalled bricks. It does not include the chimney, and the garden wall, which are different access. Do not smear new mortar over failed joints and call it repointing.

Hi Dorothy, On the brick repointing, here is the timing. Mortar does not cure in a freeze. If the wall is wet now, say what can be done before winter and what should wait. The estimate is $8,400. Tell me if the length of the job is what you are weighing. Thanks, Sam Okonkwo Okonkwo Masonry
