The handyman businesses listed in the directory are not screened for quality or reliability so please choose responsibly. Never pay a large deposit to start the work. The legal limit in many areas is $1000 or 10% of the work to be done, whichever is less. Make final payment only after the job has been completed to your satisfaction.

Handyman Job Pricing and Estimates
The cost could vary widely depending on the condition of the wall, the accessibility of the bricks to be replaced, and the quality of the repair that you want.
A handyman could pretty easily knock out the loose bricks and then mortar in a couple of replacements in an hour or two. This repair might look good, but looks can be deceiving. Why did the bricks come loose in the first place? This could be an indication of a bigger problem with the foundation.
I suggest you get a professional mason to look at the foundation and suggest the best course of action.
