Home owners and Contractors often need to change the dimensions of a masonry opening to accommodate for a new sized window or door. This requires structural support to the masonry above, a matching brick or stone, and a skilled mason to remove and lay new brick or stone with matching brick or stone. Homeowners and contractors also often request that a window or door be bricked in. This happens most often when renovating and more cabinet space is needed. When bricking in a window, it’s important to “tooth-out” (remove the smaller partial bricks at the vertical edges of the window) and lay bricks in their place to match the existing brick pattern of the house.
