Masonry repair cost depends on the size of the damage, the type of brick or stone, access, and whether the underlying cause needs to be fixed too. The average for brick wall repair is around $1,717, with most homeowners paying between $801 and $2,633, and crack repairs involving 10 or fewer bricks often cost $500 or less. At BJK, projects start at $450, and we provide a project-specific price after a free on-site estimate.

Yes. We repair eroded mortar joints, damaged brick, crowns and flue caps, and we repoint and rebuild chimneys when needed. Learn more about our chimney repair and restoration services.

We match color, texture and joint style as closely as the materials allow. Older masonry weathers in its own way, so we talk through realistic expectations before work begins.

No. New mortar needs sound material to bond to, so the old mortar has to be removed first. The National Park Service recommends removing old mortar to a minimum depth of 2 to 2-1/2 times the width of the joint to ensure a good bond and prevent new mortar from popping out. For a typical 3/8-inch joint, that means cutting back roughly 3/4 inch to 1 inch before repointing.

It depends on where the crack is and what caused it. Cracks that follow the mortar joints are usually repaired by removing the damaged mortar and repointing the joints. Cracked or spalled bricks and stones are cut out and replaced with units that match the wall. Stair-step cracks, widening cracks or cracks with bulging masonry can point to movement, so the cause needs to be evaluated before the repair. Filling cracks with caulk or smearing mortar over the surface rarely holds and can trap moisture.
