You need to look into the credentials of anyone that you want to hire for masonry work. Most local governments have strict licensing requirements that apply to anyone working with brick siding. Even small siding jobs need to be done by a licensed professional. If you don't ensure the work is done by a licensed professional, then you may be stuck with extra costs if the job isn't completed correctly.

Ensure that anyone working on the actual construction of the brick siding is full trained in masonry. Brick siding can become extremely unstable if it is improperly installed.

Ask to see examples of work completed by the construction company. This is especially important if you are dealing with a construction company that has a limited background. New companies can often be staffed by exceptional workers, but you need to take extra precautions to protect yourself.

Ask for local references whenever possible. When the references are local, you will be able to make phone calls to past customers more easily. You will also be able to drive past houses that the company has worked on previously and see the work for yourself.
