We had some bricks falling off our front facade. Iowa Tuckpointing came in, removed all the loose brick and mortar and restored it to its original look. You can't even tell there was any repairs made which is exactly what you want in a partial repair. They did a great job and left the work area clean and tidy. I was very happy with the work they did and will definitely come back with any future needs. 10/10.

Signs your brick or mortar may need repair include cracked or missing mortar joints, loose or damaged bricks, water leaks, white staining (efflorescence), bowing walls, or visible deterioration around chimneys and foundations. Addressing these issues early can help prevent more costly repairs later.

When completed properly with the correct materials, tuckpointing can last 20–30 years or more depending on weather exposure, moisture levels, and the condition of the masonry. Regular maintenance and inspections can help extend the life of your brickwork.
