Ask what changed on a brick repointing
Send this if they hinted the work is different from the walkthrough. Revise the bid after you know the new scope.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
What the old price covered
grind and repoint the street face, and replace two spalled bricks. Left out: the chimney, and the garden wall, which are different access.
Do not guess a new number
The cost is the height, the scaffold, and how much joint has to come out. A low bid often skips the grind. Do not smear new mortar over failed joints and call it repointing. Should the chimney be on this bid, or only the street face of the house?
