Common quoting problems in masonry work
- Chimney quotes vary widely between masons. When one mason quotes a patch and another a rebuild, the client can't compare them without seeing the scope line by line.
- Damage is hard to judge from below. Loose top courses or a cracked crown may not show from the yard, so the price can change once you're on the roof.
- Matching old brick takes time. Finding brick and a mortar colour to match an older house can take longer than the repair itself.
- Weather limits the season. Mortar needs suitable temperatures to cure, so jobs that aren't booked in time can slip to spring.
What your masonry quote form asks
Masonry prices depend on the material, the area, the height and whether new work must match old. The form asks for each, plus building age and roof pitch, and close photos show whether it needs repointing or a rebuild.

What changes the price of a masonry job
The factors that most often change the price, and the reason the form asks about them.
- Extent of the damage
- Repointing worn joints costs far less than taking down and relaying brick. Published tuckpointing figures often run roughly $5-$25 per square foot, and rebuilds cost much more.
- Height and access
- Second-storey walls and chimneys need ladders, roof brackets or scaffolding, which add setup time and rental cost.
- Material and matching
- Matching old brick, stone and mortar colour takes time. Older homes often need a softer lime mortar instead of modern Portland mixes.
- Chimney components
- Crowns, caps, flashing and flue liners are often where water gets in, and each can be its own line.
- Size of the area
- Small patches cost more per square foot than whole walls, because setup and mixing take the same time.
- Structural work
- Leaning chimneys, bulging walls or settled steps can mean taking sections down to a sound base, sometimes with footing repairs.
- Weather and season
- Mortar needs suitable temperatures to cure. In many areas, cold-weather work means heated enclosures or waiting until spring.

Deposits and payment terms for masonry jobs
Many masons ask for around a third up front, and some split jobs into thirds at signing, start and completion. Jobs with custom stone or matched brick often carry a larger deposit to cover what's ordered, while small repairs may be paid on completion. California caps home-improvement deposits at 10% or $1,000, whichever is less, and some states cap them at about a third, so check local rules.

Common questions
How do you quote a masonry job?
Most masons price repointing and veneer by the square foot and chimney work by the job, then add lines for access, scaffolding and material matching. In Quote Falcon each line has a quantity and price, so you can quote 120 sq ft of repointing and a new crown on the same quote.
What is the average cost to repair a chimney?
It ranges from a few hundred dollars for a cap or minor repointing to many thousands for a rebuild, depending on height, access and how far down the damage goes. Listing the crown, flashing, cap and rebuild separately helps clients see why quotes for the same chimney can differ so much.
Can clients send photos of the chimney?
Yes, up to 10 photos per request, from the yard, the roof line or the attic. The form also asks how high the work is, the roof pitch and the building's age. That often tells you whether the job is repointing or a rebuild before you set up a ladder.
Will insurance pay for chimney repair?
Sometimes, when damage comes from a sudden event like a storm, but usually not for wear and age. That's between the homeowner and their insurer. You can add a question to your form asking whether the job is going through insurance, and set payment stages to match when payments arrive.
How much deposit should a mason ask for?
Many ask for around a third, or split the job into thirds at signing, start and completion. Material-heavy jobs often need more up front, and some states cap home-improvement deposits. In Quote Falcon you set a percentage, a fixed amount or 2 to 6 payment stages.
Can I offer a cap or sealer as an option?
Yes. Make the cap or the water repellent an optional line. The rebuild, crown and flashing stay fixed, and the client ticks the extras they want before signing.
