Brick Repointing & Tuckpointing
Crumbling mortar joints weaken your masonry and allow water to penetrate. Our brick repointing and tuckpointing services restore the strength, appearance, and weather resistance of your brick, stone, and block walls. We match existing mortar color and profile for seamless results.
Repointing & Tuckpointing Services
Brick Repointing
We remove deteriorated mortar and replace it with new mortar that matches the original in color, texture, and strength. This restores the structural integrity and weather resistance of your brick walls.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing uses two contrasting colors of mortar to create the illusion of very fine joints. This decorative technique restores the original appearance of historic and traditional brickwork.
Chimney Repointing
Chimney mortar joints deteriorate faster than wall joints due to extreme weather exposure. We repoint chimney mortar to prevent water damage and structural failure.
Mortar Matching
We analyze your existing mortar to match the color, texture, and composition for invisible repairs. Essential for historic buildings and visible masonry.
Historic Mortar Restoration
Older buildings require lime-based mortar, not modern Portland cement. We use historically appropriate mortar mixes for proper restoration.
Commercial Repointing
We provide repointing and tuckpointing for commercial buildings, storefronts, office buildings, and historic structures.
