Bricklayers Are Going to Hate Me for Sharing These Secrets...
In this part of our brick addition series, I'm sharing professional masonry techniques that most contractors learn only after years of experience on the job site. From setting up corner leads and keeping walls perfectly plumb to installing weep vents and building a clean soldier course above a window, you'll see exactly how a professional bricklayer approaches the work.
This isn't a staged tutorial—it's real-world masonry on an actual brick addition project. Along the way, I'll share practical tips, common mistakes to avoid, and techniques that help create a stronger, cleaner, and more professional finish.
In this video you'll learn:
✔️ How to set and build corner leads
✔️ How to keep brickwork plumb and level
✔️ Proper bricklaying techniques
✔️ Installing weep vents correctly
✔️ Soldier course installation above windows
✔️ Professional masonry tips and tricks
✔️ Brick addition construction process
✔️ Real job site training and education
Whether you're a homeowner, DIYer, apprentice bricklayer, or experienced mason, these are techniques that can help improve your brickwork and understanding of professional masonry construction.
