Say them on the phone or at the wall. The answers show how a mason works.
Which mortar type goes in, and why?
A good answer names a mix softer than your brick.
How deep will you cut the old joints?
Too shallow, and the new mortar pops out.
What is the lintel made of, and is it flashed?
Rusting steel lifts brick; flashing keeps water off it.

Short answers about masonry repair for a Manlius house
Do I call the village or the town about a Manlius masonry permit?
It depends on where the house sits. The Village of Manlius has its own code office, and the Town of Manlius issues permits outside it. Ask the mason which applies.
Is my Manlius house in the historic district?
The Manlius Village Historic District has 50 contributing buildings. Ask the village office and tell the mason before work begins.
How do I get a Manlius brick repair priced?
Send your address, a photo and what you see. Separate local masons price it, and the mason sets the number.
Manlius is two places on a masonry map. The Town of Manlius counts 14,524 housing units, a median year built of 1972 and 11.2 percent built in 1939 or earlier. Inside it, the Village of Manlius counts 2,070 housing units and a median of 1968, and one in ten dates to 1939 or earlier.
Neither figure is the old-city case. In the village, the Census puts another 18.8 percent in 1940 to 1959 and 29.3 percent before 1960. So if your house dates from before 1940, ask what your brick is, since older brick can be soft.
Your job is to know which kind of wall you have. Ask each mason what your brick is and why the mortar they name suits it. If it is old, the Park Service rule applies: a repointing mortar should be softer than the brick.
Masonry contractors in Manlius: two permit offices and one historic district
The town and the village each run their own office. Town of Manlius code section 59-4 requires a permit for alteration or improvement of a building and for installing a solid fuel appliance, chimney or flue, and the Town Code Enforcement Officer issues it. Inside the village limits, permits for building, altering or demolishing come from the village's own code office.
Which office is yours depends on where the house sits. Ask the mason who files, then confirm with the right office. Ask each office whether your repair is exempt, and do not assume that it is.
The Manlius Village Historic District was listed in 1973 and has 50 contributing buildings. If your house is one of them, ask before you sign anything. New York's homeowner credit pays 20 percent of qualified costs on listed, owner-occupied homes in qualifying census tracts. It needs approval before work begins.
That is a real reason to hold a signature. A repair that starts first can lose the credit. Ask whether your street is in the district, and tell each mason before the first bid.
Weather numbers come from the Syracuse airport, not from Manlius. The record there counts 129.5 days a year with overnight lows at freezing or colder. That is a long run of nights for water in a joint to freeze.
