Every brick porch has a story. Sometimes it’s charming and durable. Sometimes it needs serious help. Things like cracks, deteriorating mortar, or settling foundations deteriorate your lovely curb appeal, not to mention some unresolved budget questions. Understanding brick porch repair costs by the type of damage lets you know how to plan smart to avoid costly damage in the future.
Minor Mortar Repairs
Deteriorating mortar is like a cold. If you fix it early, it will be way less of a headache in the future. If the bricks are starting to lose mortar, it’s a sign that you need to repoint.
What you’re looking at:
- Small sections (under 50 sq. ft): $300–$800
- Material costs stay minimal, labor drives pricing
- Prevention now beats replacement later
This brick porch repair cost remains manageable when caught early. That is why it is important to do annual inspections of the porch.
Crack Repairs and Brick Replacement
Cracks are like people, each one’s got a personality. Hairline cracks are annoying but fixable. Deep cracks running through multiple bricks, though? We have to talk.
Cosmetic Crack Repairs
Slab cracks, the more surface-level ones, run $200 – $600 depending on length and location. These are quick wins. You just need to patch and seal, and you are golden.
Structural Damage Repairs
If structural work is needed, budget $800 and $2,500 for these repairs, which include:
- Removing damaged bricks entirely
- Addressing any moisture or settlement issues underneath
- Matching new bricks to existing aesthetics (trickier than it sounds)
