There are many masonry contractors Chicago home and property owners trust and like to use, but if you’ve never hired one before, how do you decide who to work with? This can be a stressful decision. Here are a few things to keep in mind when hiring a masonry contractor:

  • Do your research. Don’t just close your eyes and point at the first masonry contractors in Chicago on the page. Actually research recommendations, price, and previous work.
  • Keep price in consideration. But don’t make it your primary, or only, consideration. As you have been performing your research (from above) you should have a good idea of the average price. Is the company you are considering way above or below the average? Those may be red flags. You get what you pay for, so never take a price just because it’s the lowest.
  • Consider the level of workmanship. Do you need a simple tuckpointing job or are you looking for a fancy, custom structure? This can determine who you hire. While you should always hire a quality professional, you may not need the fanciest contractor available to tuckpoint your wall. However, you don’t want someone with limited experience taking on your fancy fireplace.
