First, we come out for a thorough inspection of your masonry work. We photograph problem areas and explain exactly what needs attention versus what might be nice to have. No pressure, just honest assessment of your situation.

Next, we provide a detailed estimate that breaks down the work and materials needed. We match new materials to your existing structure so everything looks cohesive and functions properly together.

During the actual work, we protect your home with multiple layers of drop cloths and use HEPA-filtered equipment to keep dust and debris contained. We clean up completely when we’re done, leaving you with solid masonry work and a spotless property.

How much does masonry repair cost in Providence RI?

Masonry repair costs vary significantly based on the scope of work needed. Minor tuckpointing might run a few hundred dollars, while complete chimney rebuilds can cost several thousand. We provide free estimates because every masonry situation is different. We’d rather give you accurate pricing after seeing your specific needs than guess over the phone. Our certified technicians assess your property and explain exactly what repairs are necessary for safety versus what might be nice to have. We offer in-house financing for larger projects and work with you to prioritize repairs based on your budget and safety requirements. The investment in quality masonry work protects your property value and prevents much more expensive problems down the road.
Rhode Island’s coastal climate and harsh winters create specific masonry challenges. Water damage from freeze-thaw cycles is the biggest issue we see, causing brick deterioration and structural problems in chimneys and exterior walls. Providence’s humid climate takes a toll on masonry exteriors. Bricks start cracking or chipping and mortar between bricks deteriorates over time. Poor chimney caps or damaged flashing let water infiltrate, leading to expensive repairs if not addressed quickly. In older Providence homes, we frequently find damaged chimney liners where original clay liners have cracked over decades of use. Draft problems are common too, often caused by improperly sized flue systems that haven’t been properly maintained, creating safety hazards that require immediate attention.
Most masonry repairs take between one to three days, depending on complexity and weather conditions. Simple repairs like chimney cap replacements or minor tuckpointing can often be completed in a single day. More extensive work like chimney liner installation or significant structural repairs typically requires two to three days. Complete chimney rebuilds or major stonework projects may take a week or more, depending on the scope. Weather plays a big role in scheduling since we can’t do quality masonry work in freezing temperatures or heavy rain. Rhode Island’s unpredictable weather means we sometimes need to adjust timelines. We’ll give you realistic expectations during your free estimate and keep you updated if conditions cause delays.
