Before Hiring a Masonry Pro in Nyack

Use this checklist to vet contractors before signing a contract.

  • Ask about their mortar mix and whether they match existing mortar for repairs

    Using the wrong mortar hardness (Portland cement on old lime mortar) can crack historic brick. Color matching matters for appearance.

  • Verify experience with structural masonry vs. decorative veneer

    Foundation repair and structural work require a different skill set than building a veneer fireplace surround. Ask about relevant experience.

  • Ask about drainage provisions for retaining walls

    Every retaining wall over 2 feet needs drainage (gravel backfill, weep holes, or perforated pipe). Skipping drainage causes wall failure.

  • Verify Home Improvement Contractor license with your municipality

    New York counties require Home Improvement Contractor registration. Check with your local clerk's office or building department.

  • Confirm general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage

    Ask for a certificate of insurance (COI) naming you as additionally insured. Workers' comp protects you if a worker is injured on your property.

  • Get 2-3 written estimates that itemize labor, materials, and timeline

    Lump-sum quotes hide details. Itemized estimates let you compare apples to apples and catch hidden costs.

  • Check permit requirements with Village of Nyack Building Department ((845) 358-0548)

    Contact village hall for permit requirements. Hudson River waterfront properties in flood zones require elevation certificates.

  • Ask for 3 recent local references and actually call them

    Ask references specifically: Did the job finish on time and on budget? Were there surprises? Would you hire them again?

SummerJun - Aug
Best time

WinterDec - Feb
Off-season
