Star bolt installation costs in Philadelphia vary based on scope. The primary cost factors are the number of bolts required (most standard rowhome walls need 3 to 9 star bolts), whether a Philadelphia L&I permit and structural engineering drawings are required, interior access and finish restoration scope, and the extent of masonry repointing.
Price for star bolt installation is between $1,200–$1,300 per star bolt installed.
For context on value: a full brick facade rebuild on a Philadelphia rowhome typically costs $20,000 to $40,000 or more. Star bolt installation, when performed while the masonry is still sound, stabilizes the wall at a fraction of that cost and without demolition.
