We handle brick repointing, tuckpointing, chimney repointing, brick repair and replacement, and historic lime mortar repointing for homes and commercial buildings. Our work covers brick walls, chimneys, foundations, and stone masonry. Contact us for a free quote today.
Brick Repointing
We grind or rake out cracked, crumbling mortar to a consistent depth, then pack the joints with new mortar matched to the existing color and strength. Most of the joints we repoint are eroded, hollow, or letting water in. Once filled, each joint is tooled to match the original profile: concave, flush, or raked.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing starts with filling the joints with mortar tinted to match the brick. We then run a thin, contrasting line of putty or mortar down the center, which gives the wall the look of crisp, narrow joints. You'll mostly see this finish on older homes that were built with it, and we can also restore existing tuckpointing that has worn or washed out over the years.
Chimney Repointing
We repoint chimney joints both above and below the roofline. While we're up there, we also check the crown and flashing for cracks.
Brick Repair and Replacement
Cracked, spalled, or water-damaged bricks get cut out and replaced with matching brick. When an exact match isn't readily available, we source salvaged or color-matched brick.
Historic Lime Mortar Repointing
Older and historic masonry calls for soft lime mortar, not modern Portland cement. Portland cement can trap moisture and crack the softer brick used in early construction, so we repoint these walls with lime.
How Much Does Brick Repointing Cost?
Brick repointing usually costs between $640 and $4,870 for a single wall or chimney. The final price depends on how many square feet of joints have eroded, how deep the old mortar needs to be raked out, and whether the job calls for scaffolding or a lift.
