Stone Foundation Replacement Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction estimating unit cost for removing stones from a deteriorated stone wall or foundation and then replacing them with new stones and fresh mortar bedding.

Unit Size

One square foot.

Labor Costs

We figure about 4 square feet of stones replaced per hour of skilled mason time, with half time help from an unskilled worker..

Material Costs

Mortar raw materials.

Suggested Quantity

Goldenseal suggests the exterior foundation wall area that is above grade (calculated from the foundation perimeter and the floor height above grade).

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on crew timing from several projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.

If the existing stones can be salvaged, you might want to work with a duplicate of this unit cost item, and remove the cost of the stone (or maybe reduce its quantity if you only need to replace some of the stone).
