In our region, many of the buildings you will see (residential and commercial, newly built, and historical) are composed of stone or brick masonry of some type. You may have heard the terms tuckpointing or repointing before, but what do they mean when it comes to a structure you have invested in? What is tuckpointing, why is it vital to long-lasting brick masonry work, and how to tell when your home or business needs repointing? Allow our licensed masonry contractors to answer these questions and bring you up to speed. Tuckpointing Defined Tuckpointing is the process of repairing damaged mortar joints to restore structural integrity. Over time, weather, water, and more can cause the mortar -used to secure brick and stone into place-to crumble, crack, and decay. When this happens, you are at risk of losing a lot more than just the curb appeal of your building. You could be facing structural damage, internal damage, liability, and cave-ins, to name a few. To prevent this from happening, we recommend regular maintenance inspections and taking care of repair and restoration work as soon as possible.
