Our Masonry & Brick Repair Process

01

Assessment

We inspect mortar joint condition, brick/block integrity, and moisture infiltration patterns to determine the full repair scope.

02

Joint Preparation

Deteriorated mortar is removed to a depth of 3/4 inch using grinders or chisels, careful not to damage brick faces.

03

Repointing

New mortar matching the original profile, color, and hardness is packed into joints and tooled to match the original style.

04

Sealing

Masonry sealer is applied to completed repairs and surrounding areas to prevent future water infiltration.

Masonry & Brick Repair FAQ for Bakersfield Homeowners

How often should Bakersfield homeowners get masonry & brick repair?
Given Bakersfield's extreme summer heat routinely exceeding 110°f — bakersfield is one of the hottest us cities, most homeowners benefit from masonry & brick repair at least once a year. Extreme summer UV bleaching and cracking of all exterior surfaces often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Bakersfield most need masonry & brick repair?
Stucco ranch homes throughout Kern County and New construction in northwest Bakersfield and Rosedale are the most common home types in Bakersfield and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
What is tuck-pointing?
Tuck-pointing (repointing) removes deteriorated mortar from between bricks and replaces it with fresh mortar. It's critical maintenance — deteriorated mortar allows water infiltration that destroys masonry from within.
How do I know if my mortar needs repointing?
Crumbling, hollow-sounding, recessed, or missing mortar joints indicate repointing is needed. You can scrape deteriorated mortar with a key or screwdriver — if it comes out easily, it needs attention.
Can any mortar be used for repointing?
Mortar hardness must match the masonry. Using Portland cement mortar (Type S) on soft historic brick is a common mistake that causes the brick faces to spall. Lime-based mortars are required for pre-1930 brick.
How long does tuck-pointing last?
Quality repointing with the correct mortar mix lasts 25–30 years. The original brick should outlast multiple rounds of repointing.
