What to check when hiring masons in the United States
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Contractor licensing in the US is set by each state (and sometimes the city or county). For electrical, plumbing, HVAC or any major build, confirm the trade is licensed on your state's licensing board before hiring. Unlicensed work where a license is required can void permits and insurance and leave you no recourse.
- Ask for a lien waiver as you pay each stage: in most US states an unpaid contractor or subcontractor can place a mechanic's lien on your home even if you already paid the main contractor, and a signed waiver is your protection.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge a mason
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Masonry over your state's threshold may need a contractor license (for example the CSLB C-29 masonry license in California): verify where required; structural masonry like retaining walls or chimneys often needs a permit and engineering.
- Confirm general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
- Ask about the mortar type, proper footings, weep holes, and flashing for moisture control.
- Get a written scope, look at comparable local work, and specify the brick/stone color and joint style.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- A retaining wall over the local height limit with no permit or engineering.
- No footing or foundation plan, and no weep holes or flashing.
- No license where required, and no insurance.
- A large cash deposit up front.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Do you hold the license (where required) and carry insurance?
- Does this need a permit or engineering (a retaining wall, a chimney)?
- What mortar, footing, and moisture detailing will you use?
- Can I see comparable local work?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy mason?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A mason backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend masons for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Masons are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a mason?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the mason, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
