A reader writes in looking for some suggestions:
I’m looking for someone to point the brick within my fireplace fireboxes (2 of them). Fairly small job so need someone willing to take on small jobs. Would require removing old mortar and potentially replacing a few bricks entirely.

If you find one, let me know! I’ve put out several bids and the estimates come back vastly different.
Boone Construction. Hands down, the best.
Mr. Wallace Boone. Been laying bricks since 1960 – an amazing brick mason. He did four fireplaces on my last project and is currently repointing six fireplaces on my current project and making two of those suitable for gas logs.
You are welcome to come by our restoration and see his work. I swear by him. 711renovate@gmail.com

Can’t get anyone any better.

He is reasonable and does a great job of matching up mortar and blending in the repair to the old look. He pointed up the walls of my entire basement, re-built several fireplaces, and did spot pointing through out my house. He doesnt mind taking on smaller jobs.
Wallace Boone is very good and very reasonable and very reliable. Call Wallace
