Frequently Asked Questions – Masonry Work Services

Do I need a permit for masonry repairs or a new retaining wall in Pittsburgh?

Yes. In the City of Pittsburgh, most structural masonry work, such as replacing a failing retaining wall, altering a foundation, or cutting new openings, requires a Residential Building or Department of Mobility & Infrastructure (DOMI) permit. Minor surface-level repairs under 30 in. high usually don’t, but we confirm the code for every project and can file the paperwork on your behalf.

How long does a typical brick-repair or tuckpointing job take from start to finish?

For an average single-story façade, the timeline is 3–5 working days: one day to prep and set scaffolding, one to grind out loose mortar, one to tuck-point, and a day or two for cleanup and curing. Larger walls or winter work may add time for heating/hoarding.

Can you match the color and texture of the brick on an old Pittsburgh home?

Yes. With three generations of masonry experience we custom-blend mortar pigments, reclaim or source compatible brick, and tool joints to replicate the original profile so repairs are virtually invisible.

What factors affect the cost of masonry repair or stone-veneer replacement?

Pricing depends on several factors:

The extent of cracking or spalling
Scaffold or lift access
Brick/stone type (sandstone, limestone, cultured stone)
Mortar match complexity
Site drainage corrections.
Small spot repairs start around $8–$15 per sq ft; full-wall repointing or veneer reset is quoted after a free on-site inspection.

Are you licensed and insured masonry contractors in Pennsylvania?

Yes. Ciriello Contracting is fully insured and operates under Pennsylvania Contractor #PA166966. All crew members follow OSHA safety standards, and proof of insurance is available upon request.

How do you account for Pittsburgh’s weather changes?

Our region sees 30-plus freeze-thaw cycles a year. Water in cracked mortar expands, leading to spalling brick and loose stone. We use specific mortar for flexibility, add concealed weep vents, recommend breathable sealers and repair drainage so water never sits against the wall. Done right, a new brick or stone veneer can last 50+ years even in Western PA weather.

See What Our Customers Are Saying

"Mr. Ciriello and his associates were contacted/ contracted by my wife to come and replace an aging out and cracking set of stairs attached to our front porch.
The professional way that they went about business, all while having multiple contracts was quite refreshing. Mr. Ciriello and company are the top of our list if we ever require more concrete or contract work done."
James Linn

"To be honest I’ve been doing my business for 25 years….. this is one of the rarest experiences in my years! Why? Because they were one the most Professional, Honest, High Quality and all pleasures to deal with!!!! They should actually get like 12 stars out of 5!"
M. Milmaster

"Ciriello Contracting replaced and extended my driveway. Anthony explained the project, answered all my questions and delivered an estimate in-line with other companies.
Their team, every person, was on-time, polite, trust-worthy and professional. I couldn't ask for a better experience. The work was high-quality. The team was even better.
I highly recommend them! In fact, my neighbor, who saw the work up-close, will be also be replacing his driveway with them. I will definitely call Anthony again on future projects."
K. J.

"I was looking for someone to tear down and rebuild my leaning retaining wall because I wanted it to match my other retaining walls. Ciriello Contracting was the ONLY one out of the numerous contractors that responded to my quote request that would take on the job. Everyone else wanted to replace it with versa-lock. The biggest plus is they did what I wanted and did not try to talk me into something else that would have made their job easier. They did an excellent job and I would highly recommend them."
Jim Sterling

"Look no further, these guys are the best. They replaced our deteriorating patio with exposed aggregate and added a border of pavers, all for a very reasonable price. They were professional, accommodating, pleasant to have around, punctual, and careful with their equipment. I would recommend this company without any hesitation. They did an exceptional job!"
Nan Newell

"We used Ciriello Contracting for a cement slab we had installed for underneath our shed. The slab was on a hill and in a difficult location so we were searching for the best. And boy did we find it!! We would absolutely use them for any cement work in the future and would recommend them to everyone who is looking! Tony came out that day to give us an estimate. His company is so professional and they are easy to get a hold of. Our cement slab was finished earlier than we had anticipated. The crew worked very hard and they were all super professional! When the job was finished, Tony called to follow up on how the shed looked on the slab! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! Best around the Pittsburgh area"
Carly Caraballo

"Tony and the crew are an incredible group of masons. I've hired Tony for two separate jobs, one to put in a huge set of concrete steps and the other to pour a patio pad. Both project look amazing and were bid competitively. I would recommend the Ciriello crew for and concrete job."
Craig Standley
