Brick masonry covers building, repairing, and restoring brick walls, chimneys, steps, patios, and veneer. In New Haven, most calls involve older housing stock: repointing crumbling mortar joints, rebuilding chimneys damaged by freeze-thaw cycles, replacing spalled bricks, and fixing stoops and retaining walls. We list 16 businesses in this category.
Ask whether the contractor matches mortar to the existing brick. Hard modern Portland-heavy mortar on soft historic brick causes damage over time, so a good mason will talk about mortar type and joint profile without being prompted. Check for a written scope, proof of liability insurance and Connecticut home improvement registration, and photos of finished work on buildings similar to yours. Ask how they handle scaffolding, flashing, and water sources, since moisture is usually why brick fails.
We rank businesses on public review quality, volume, and consistency rather than ad spend, so a high score reflects what past customers actually reported. You can see the full ranking in our guide to the best masonry contractors in New Haven, and read how scores are built on the methodology page. Use the score to build a shortlist, then get at least two written quotes.

Mixed record across a small sample. One recent one-star review documents incomplete brick or masonry work, non-return, and payment taken despite unfinished repairs. An older five-star review cited professional installation work. The business operates as a generalist handyman; scope clarity appears to be a friction point.
One reviewer called Anthony a master craftsman with impeccable work ethic and professionalism. Evidence is limited to a single review, so a fuller picture would need more customer input.
Two recent one-star reviews cite serious interpersonal issues: rudeness, unprofessional conduct, and disrespect toward women and people with disabilities. Review detail is limited to these complaints; no praise themes or specific work quality observations are available in the data. The 4.1 rating across 9 reviews reflects a split: 78% five-star against 22% one/two-star, suggesting mixed customer experiences.
