My wife and I are building a house and we love the messy mortar look. The sample they did were great and what they did up until brick inspection was also good. However, now it seems the mortar is a darker color and there are spots that are all white. Also, where the brick is vertical it looks orange. We are concerned how this will get fixed. I happened to be there when a brick mason was still there. Here is what he told me 1-Mortar was still trying, however it is still not the same color even after 6 days in texas heat 2-The orange color is due to them cutting the pieces with the saw, they go back later and do some type of wash to make it match 3-The all white patches can be correct easily They assured me it was not the finished product and they go back and touch things up and make it all match. Should we be concerned and anyone know the process of doing this type of work? We see it and get concerned because we don't feel it will match. We are meeting with our builder also. We just don't know what to believe. Any information is greatly appreciated. Here are some picture of our concerns
