Brick repair around a window opening
A window surround brings several materials and details together. Show the opening as a whole before focusing on a cracked brick or joint.
Record all four sides
Photograph the head, jambs and sill from safe ground, then include the wall around them. Note whether the window operates differently or if interior marks have appeared. Share any recent window replacement information with the assessor.
Define the next step
Ask which details are included in the repair and which may need another trade. Repointing the visible joints should not be assumed to correct an unrelated window installation issue.
