FAQs

    • Cracked, powdery, or recessed mortar joints

    • Damp interior walls or musty odors near exterior masonry

    • Flaking brick faces (spalling) or loose stones

    • Staining/efflorescence along joints or at grade lines

    • Drafts or leaks near chimneys and window heads

  • With proper materials and maintenance, quality repointing typically lasts 20–30+ years, depending on exposure and substrate.

  • While a 100% match isn’t possible, we can match the existing color and texture so that it’s indistinguishable from the existing ones. We custom-blend sand and pigments, then tool to match your original joint profile. Sample panels are available for larger jobs.

  • Repointing replaces failing mortar; tuckpointing is a decorative technique that uses two contrasting mortars to refine joint lines. Most structural maintenance is repointing.

  • Most pointing projects do not, but historic districts or structural repairs may. We’ll advise based on your municipality.
