01 / A CLOSER LOOK

Ask what is sound

A useful assessment identifies the affected area and explains the condition of the surrounding masonry. Ask where the proposed work begins and ends.

02 / THE HOMEOWNER PERSPECTIVE

Separate urgent and optional work

Request a distinction between safety restrictions, work needed to address the cause, and cosmetic improvements. Ask when an independent structural evaluation is appropriate.

THE SHORT ANSWER

The decision should follow documented condition, structural concerns, water entry, and repair compatibility. Neither a low price nor a dramatic photograph is enough to choose the scope.
