Masonry · Waiting on approval
What to send while a brick repointing waits on approval
Send this when the bid is stuck on another person, a board, or a permit. Ask what they still need from you, then wait.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Who is holding it
A partner who has not stood at the wall often thinks tuckpointing and rebuilding are the same price.
What you can hand them
The price is $8,400 and includes grind and repoint the street face, and replace two spalled bricks. Masonry bids wait because the work looks optional until water gets in, and a second mason's number is usually coming. Do not smear new mortar over failed joints and call it repointing.

What does the approver need on the brick repointing?
Hi Dorothy, If someone else still has to approve the brick repointing, I can resend the $8,400 estimate in whatever form they need. Tell me what they ask for. I will not keep emailing while you wait on them. Thanks, Sam Okonkwo Okonkwo Masonry
