What to know about Brick repair
Brick repair is the narrower trade inside masonry: replacing individual units that have failed, rebuilding small areas, and above all repointing, which means cutting out mortar that has deteriorated and refilling the joint. On most American brick houses, repointing is the repair that actually keeps water out, and it is the one where technique separates a job that lasts decades from one that damages the wall permanently.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size of the area and the height of the walls
- Material chosen
- Removal of the existing material
- Repairs needed to what's underneath
- Access, including ladders, scaffolding or lifts
- Trim, corners and openings to work around
How to choose masons in Lancaster
- Choose a pro who works regularly with your material, whether that's siding, stucco, brick, eavestroughs or soffit and fascia.
- Ask them to explain what's causing the problem, not only how they'll cover it up.
- Get a written quote that separates removal, repairs to what's underneath and the new finish.
- For chimney and masonry work, look for someone with specific masonry experience rather than a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or scaffolding.
Questions to ask masons before you hire
- What do you think is causing the damage, and will your work fix the cause?
- Will you check the sheathing or wall underneath once the old material is off?
- How will you handle water management, such as flashing, caulking and drainage?
- Does this work need a permit from my municipality, and who will get it?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship?
Brick repair permits in Pennsylvania
Some brick repair work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Pennsylvania
Consumer protection
The registration that does apply is the home improvement contractor registration with the Office of Attorney General, required of anyone whose home improvement business reaches the threshold the Act sets. Under the Act a home improvement contract must be in writing, signed by both parties, and carry the contractor's registration number, the start and completion dates, a description of the work and materials, the price, any subcontractors, proof of liability insurance and your right to rescind.

Common brick repair questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
