Small cracks in the masonry happens everywhere and usually isn't a big problem unless the gaps get big.However you have some pictures here where the brick is split.

A brick home may have a higher cost of construction but some companies also give you a big discount for an all masonry home.Some of the 1900 to 1930 houses have a construction type that is open inside the walls from ground floor to the attic - a fire that breaches the wall will shoot straight to the attic and efficiently burn the house down.  

Yes, I agree with you 100% as this is a relationship business.However, the 2 areas I need bids on are well water related, and masonry/foundation repairs.

Its a building from the 1850s, and it looks like it will require all new siding, major masonry work and support beam replacement in the basement.   

I have experience as a carpenter and in masonry and am currently an engineer.

MASONRY: 86% C.

The oldest building in the neighborhood was built in 1814, so it's possible, but I don't have any evidence that it was built before the 1870s.This has been mentioned a couple times:  in older parts of Cincy I look for masonry construction (stone/brick) because those structures are more solid even than the wood frame homes being built today. 

The good news is I found a great masonry contractor who was awesome to work with, funny enough I found him through the code enforcement officer.
