What to write when a brick repointing price goes quiet
If $8,400 is why they have not replied, change the scope or explain the number. Do not invent a lower price in the follow-up.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Why the number is the number
The cost is the height, the scaffold, and how much joint has to come out. A low bid often skips the grind. The bid includes grind and repoint the street face, and replace two spalled bricks.
What you can take out
The line you can remove is the chimney, and the garden wall, which are different access. Do not smear new mortar over failed joints and call it repointing. Masonry bids wait because the work looks optional until water gets in, and a second mason's number is usually coming.

What is in the brick repointing price
Hi Dorothy, If $8,400 for the brick repointing looks high, here is what it covers: grind and repoint the street face, and replace two spalled bricks. I can take out the chimney, and the garden wall, which are different access and send a revised number. I do not want to cut the work and leave the price looking the same. Thanks, Sam Okonkwo Okonkwo Masonry
