Frequently Asked Questions
Fredis Construction LLC's experts have compiled a few helpful answers to some of the questions we regularly hear about masonry installation, repair, and maintenance services.
Do Your Masonry Technicians Carry Insurance?
Brick and stone masonry contractors like us carry insurance to protect our technicians and you in case of accidents or damages during a project. This can include liability insurance to cover damage to property or injuries to workers and workers' compensation insurance to cover injuries to employees on the job.
Do You Purchase Materials for the Project?
There are times when your stonemason might purchase materials on your behalf—and there are other times when you might be able to find your preferred materials for low prices yourself. We iron out these details during the consultation to avoid confusion during the construction project.
Can You Replace Brickwork with Matching Bricks?
We strive to match replacement bricks with the existing brickwork on your property. Many homes built in the last few decades feature bricks that are still available today, which often makes the hunt very straightforward. Older homes may showcase bricks that are no longer in circulation. If we’re unable to find the exact type of brick, we’ll be sure to find a suitable match.
Do Masons Offer Chimney Repairs?
The answer to this question is yes. Unless otherwise stated, you can rest easy knowing that local stonemasons like us offer chimney repairs for residential and commercial clients.
How Do You Generate Estimates on Masonry Work?
No two projects are alike, so many professionals are reluctant to give estimates before assessing the project. When we put together an estimate for you, we’ll consider factors like:
- The size of the project
- The complexity of the design
- The materials to be used
- The labor required
- …and more!
From there, our team will create a detailed estimate outlining the project’s costs, including materials, labor, and any additional expenses.
Are You Certified?
We carry all the certifications and licensing needed to conduct the important work that we do. Never hesitate to ask for proof of certification when you want peace of mind.
We’ll provide everything you need to make the most informed hiring decisions.

What Services Does a Masonry Contractor Offer?
Many people think masonry experts prefer to brand themselves as brick masonry contractors, but this is not always the case. A mason can offer services related to constructing and repairing structures using materials like brick, stone, and concrete. They can also provide waterproofing, tuckpointing, and masonry restoration services. Masonry contractors commonly perform the following tasks:
- Constructing chimneys, fireplaces, and hearths
- Creating outdoor patios and walkways
- Installing retaining walls and other hardscaping elements
- Building concrete foundations for buildings or additions
- Repairing or replacing damaged masonry structures
- Restoring historic buildings and structures
We use our expertise to create long-lasting, beautiful structures that enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of homes and buildings. Whether it's a new construction project or a restoration of an existing structure, our masons provide valuable services that meet the construction requirements and preferences of the client.
