<p class="isSelectedEnd">I&rsquo;m planning some exterior masonry work on an older house and I&rsquo;m trying to figure out what I should look for before hiring someone. There are a few areas where the brickwork needs repair, and I may also have some new stone work done later.

<p class="isSelectedEnd">For anyone who has hired a masonry contractor NJ, what did you check before making your decision? I&rsquo;m especially interested in things like previous projects, written estimates, insurance, warranties, and whether they helped identify underlying problems rather than just fixing the visible damage.

<p class="isSelectedEnd">Any advice from homeowners who have gone through this would be appreciated.
