What drives brick mason prices
Masonry is skilled, slow work measured in units laid per day. Repointing, restoration and chimney repair usually cost more per hour than new construction.
The typical U.S. brick mason earns $29.87 an hour, and about 52,550 work nationwide (BLS, May 2025). The rate is higher than the wage because it also has to cover payroll taxes, insurance, unbilled hours, overhead and profit.
Rates are BidFlow estimates, not quotes. Each starts with the May 2025 wage from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, then multiplies by 1.4 for payroll taxes and insurance, divides by 0.8 for hours that can't be billed, and multiplies by 1.4 for overhead and profit.
