The Process

Buying or Selling a Brick Home: What a Masonry Look Finds

Key takeaways

  • A close look at masonry turns surprises into plans
  • Joints, flashing, crowns and lintels are the usual suspects
  • A written plan sets repairs in order of urgency
  • Sellers can fix small things before they become big

Masonry rarely fails all at once. It tells you for years if you know where to look.

What we check

Mortar joints, brick faces, chimney crown and flashing, lintels over openings, foundation walls and any cracks.

What you get

A plain-language summary with photos, and repairs sorted by what is urgent, what can wait and what is only cosmetic.

For buyers

Know what you are inheriting and plan the first repairs in the right order.

For sellers

Repointing, a chimney crown or a lintel repair before listing removes a point of negotiation.
