Joint Preparation

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

3
Repointing

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

4
Sealing

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

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
