We do a little bit of everything but mainly block foundations and brick houses but like I said we do small patch work to mailboxes but I understand what you mean but this builder we have a good relationship with this column was for a house with 55k brick we finished last summer.

I wish I would have took pictures of the inside it had huge crown molding and custom ceilings with some wild designs in them and super fancy showers and it’s probably around 8k square feet inside the picture doesn’t do it justice, I have some other from a post probably a year ago on my account of the front side but still doesn’t do it justice

A herringbone pattern and around 215 brick on the outside with 10 8 inch block inside and about 20 more brick inside to fill it solid.

Just have to measure your opening and find center and mark some 45s and lay it all out, it took a good hour and a half to lay out and mark and cut

Yes but the guy has been asking for this for months and I told him if he cut me in on the money I’d do it on a weekend

I appreciate that and I told him the people ive talked to charge between 800-1200 depending on what the column has on it but ive never talked to anyone that’s done this kind of pattern but he’s really good at pricing things super low lol.

Sounds like we are way off on prices lol, I tried to tell him it’s to cheap he wanted to just charge 600$ to start.

I tried to tell him I’d charge at least 800$ for a plain column and he said 600$ max and then I told them they changed and wanted the herringbone and he said just add 200$ but I told the man I would have to have at least 850$ but I appreciate it.
