What it is
Mortar joints wear out faster than brick, and once they open up water gets into the masonry and the damage speeds up. Bricks spall (flake and crumble), crowns crack, and the top courses of a chimney can loosen. Catching it early with tuckpointing and targeted brick replacement costs far less than a full rebuild later.
Signs you need it
- Mortar joints that are recessed, sandy or missing
- Bricks that are flaking, cracked or crumbling
- A crown with cracks or pieces missing
- A chimney top that looks loose, leaning or out of line
- White staining or rust streaks on the brick
What we do
- Tuckpoint worn joints with mortar matched to your existing masonry
- Replace spalled and cracked brick with a close color and size match
- Rebuild crowns with a proper overhang and drip edge
- Rebuild chimney tops or full chimneys when repair is no longer enough
- Clean up thoroughly and photograph the finished work
