Built for the Trades

Built for Masons Who Are Tired of Eating Hidden Costs

You tore out the old foundation and found rotten footings. The client agreed to fix it, until the invoice showed up. SealedScope makes sure every footing repair and material upgrade is signed before you mix a single batch.

Every mason has been burned by this

🧱

You demo a block wall and discover the footing is cracked and undersized. The client says fix it, then claims the footing was 'part of the wall job' when you bill for it.

🪨

Homeowner upgrades from standard CMU to natural stone veneer mid-project. Material cost triples. They act shocked when the price changes.

🏗️

You pour a slab and hit unexpected rock or buried debris that requires jackhammering and hauling. Client says that should have been included in the original bid.

Change orders masons deal with on every project

Footing Repairs

$2,500 - $8,000

Existing footings are cracked, undersized, or non-existent. You can't build on a bad foundation, but the client didn't budget for a new one.

Material Upgrades

$3,000 - $12,000

Client swaps from standard block to cultured stone, natural stone veneer, or full brick after the project starts. Labor and material costs jump significantly.

Subsurface Surprises

$1,500 - $5,000

Hit rock, old utilities, or buried concrete when excavating. Removal and disposal costs add up fast and were never in the original scope.

Drainage & Waterproofing

$1,200 - $4,500

Retaining wall needs a French drain, weep holes, and waterproofing membrane behind it. Without proper drainage the wall will fail, but the client only bid the block.

Structural Reinforcement

$800 - $3,500

Engineer requires rebar, grout-filled cores, or bond beams that weren't in the original plan. Code compliance adds steel, labor, and inspection time.

Chimney & Fireplace Rebuilds

$2,000 - $10,000

What started as tuckpointing turns into a full crown replacement, flue liner install, or rebuild from the roofline up. Deterioration is always worse than it looks from the ground.
