Confirm the exact brick dimensions and material. Clay bricks differ from concrete blocks in weight and absorption. Check if the bricks are fired or extruded. Ask about the face quality if the wall is visible. Poor quality bricks crumble quickly. Ensure the supplier matches the project requirements exactly.
Ask about the warranty period for the workmanship. Standard coverage lasts several years. Confirm what defects are covered specifically. Get the warranty document in writing. Verbal promises disappear quickly. Know exactly who fixes issues if the wall fails later.
Look for sharp, clean cuts on corner pieces. A skilled mason uses a wet saw for precise angles. Chipped edges collect water and freeze quickly. Look for gaps larger than 10 mm between cut pieces. Uneven cuts make the wall look messy. Ask if they use a template for repetitive cuts. Precision here saves you from repainting the entire facade later. Sloppy cuts ruin the aesthetic.
Do not let them guess the recipe. Ask for the specific mix ratio. Cement, sand, and water proportions matter. Too much water creates weak joints. Too little makes mixing difficult. Request a sample batch first. Test the consistency before applying it to large surfaces. The mortar should hold its shape. If it slumps, the ratio is wrong. Poor mixing causes early failure under pressure.
Agree on a realistic timeline before signing the contract. Weather delays can push back curing times. Ask how many days they allocate for each section. Clarify what happens if rain stops work. Vague schedules lead to disputes. Get the start and end dates in writing.
Request proof of liability insurance before work begins. Accidents happen on job sites daily. Verify the policy covers property damage and injuries. Do not hire an uninsured professional. Check the policy number directly with the provider. This protects you from financial liability for mistakes.
Brick walls need airflow to prevent mold. Ask about the size of weep holes at the bottom. These small gaps let trapped water escape. A pro leaves a 12 mm opening at intervals. Blocked vents cause dampness to rise into the plaster. Check how they protect these holes during construction. Debris easily falls in. Ask for a final cleaning of every single opening.
Agree on a single point of contact. Daily site visits cause confusion. Ask for a scheduled update time. Phone calls mid-project disrupt workflow. Request photo evidence of progress. This saves you from driving by frequently. If you are away, trust the visuals. Establish a rule for urgent issues. Silence generates anxiety. Clear communication prevents small problems from becoming major conflicts later.
Look for uniform joint widths between bricks. Standard joints usually measure 10 mm. Uneven gaps indicate poor technique or rushed work. Ask the mason to point joints cleanly. Sloppy pointing lets water in easily. Consistent joints show attention to detail and structural integrity.
Ask who removes broken bricks and excess mortar. Debris piles create tripping hazards and attract pests. Confirm if disposal costs are in the quote. Specify where waste goes daily. A clean site shows professionalism and safety awareness. Do not leave cleanup to chance after completion.
