Make a Mint: Masonry Side Jobs

Photo by Nik. Make a Mint completing masonry side jobs.

You can make an exceptional amount of money if your job is a mason. If you work for a company you will be trained to do top of the line work. Perhaps in this economy your big jobs have slowed down for businesses. You can still use your talent as a mason working side jobs.

First and foremost make sure you work around your full-time job’s schedule. You do not want your side jobs to interfere with your main mason job or you may end up finding yourself without a full-time job.

Advertise with brochures, business cards, a website, spread the word to all of your friends and family that you are looking for masonry jobs. Word of mouth is an excellent way to get business. Your business will flourish after you do a few side jobs if you do a fantastic job.

You may advertise that you will put in cement sidewalks and steps to homes and businesses, basements, brick fireplaces, rock fireplaces, cement driveways including an add-on for a basketball court, patios, in-ground swimming pool patio areas, and even huge jobs of brick houses. You may even want to advertise that you will help to fix leaky basements or basements that home owners want to have sealed in case of future flooding due to extreme rain and/or living in a marshy area.

Once you get started, you may end up even busier than you wanted to be! People can afford to have home improvements done here and there even with the stressed economy. You will be helping others if you give them a deal when you bid for the job. Do not bid too low or people will think you do not know what you are doing as a mason. Bid slightly lower than a big company would or another mason so you will get the side job.
