Jack D. says, "I recently had OT Bay Builders come out to repair the wood and stucco on my home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient.The wood on my exterior was rotting in several places, and the stucco had multiple cracks and damage from years of wear and tear. The OT Bay Builders team carefully assessed the damage and provided a clear, detailed plan for the repairs. They used high-quality materials and paid great attention to detail, ensuring that every piece of wood was securely replaced and the stucco was seamlessly repaired. What impressed me most was their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Anjelica F. says, "This is my 2nd time using the Thumbtack app and both time have been great! Mr. Tau gave me an original quote from my description of the scope of work needed but once he took a look he revised this original quote and it was less. What an honest and pleasant surprise. He came the following day with the materials needed and completed the job and cleaned up after himself. On top of that he is a really nice guy. Our job was to repair a thin crack in the footing of our foundation. Mr. Tau filled the crack itself with epoxy and then used concrete w/ concrete binding to patch the entire surface of the footing. We are very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to call him again."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does brick repair cost?

On average, brick repairs will cost you around $500, with a range of between $350 and $600. However, be aware that a number of factors will have a large influence on this cost. First is the severity of the problem. Some brick repairs are as simple as applying new mortar — others require removing the brick entirely and fixing the substrate. If budget is a concern, contact several brick masons for cost estimates to find the best price in your area.

What does a brick mason do?

Brick masons, otherwise known as block masons or bricklayers, are professional builders of fireplaces, walls, houses and other structures using bricks or other rectangular blocks. Brick masons also work with terra cotta, concrete blocks and precast masonry panels. Part of their skill is working with mortar, which is used to bind the bricks together. 

What are the signs my stones or bricks need repairs?

The following are common stone and brick issues that will likely require a professional’s skills and expertise to fix:

  • Cracked bricks and mortar, including vertical corner cracks 
  • Brick erosion and degradation due to water damage 
  • Mortar deterioration
  • Bowed or bulging bricks
  • Spalled bricks, which are those that have chipped away or fallen off 
  • Efflorescence, or visible soluble stains on the surface

If you notice any of these signs, reach out to local brick or stone masons today.

Are cracked bricks a problem?

It depends. Sometimes, you might not require repair work — but you should still hire a professional to see if the cracks in your bricks are a serious threat to your home’s foundation and structural integrity.

Cracks (particularly larger cracks) can present a problem. If you have stair-step cracks or horizontal cracks, there may be an issue with your home’s foundation. Wider cracks can also allow water to infiltrate and cause damage from freezing and thawing. Insects can also enter wider cracks and cause more problems (and headaches).

Who do I hire for brick and stone repairs?

If you have brick and stone repairs that need to be done, search for masonry services near you. Masons are skilled tradespeople and specialize in building and repairing stone, brick, concrete, tile and other similar materials on structures. They work with these materials as well as the mortar that holds them together and are the pro of choice when repairs are needed. 

Hire the right mason based on the repairs you need — some masons specialize in working with brick, concrete, natural stone or other materials.

What does a stone mason do?

A stone mason builds structures like buildings, walls and piers out of stone. They may use natural stone, pre-cut stone, slabs or other types of stone to get the job done. Other jobs stone masons take on include laying walkways, curbs, pizza ovens and other structures or landscaping works. It’s common to hire a stone mason to perform certain parts of home building, such as an interior or exterior stone wall.

Can crumbling bricks be repaired?

Crumbling bricks, otherwise known as spalling bricks, can often be repaired. The process involves removing and repairing the damaged mortar, cleaning the surface and then also removing any damaged bricks to prevent the problem from spreading. Contact a brick mason near you to fix your crumbling bricks.

What are the different types of masonry?

In terms of the type of material used, there are several different types of masonry. These include brick, cast stone, glass block, concrete block and other types of building stone such as granite, limestone or marble. This type of construction is highly durable.
