What is tuckpointing?

Tuckpointing is the process of repairing or replacing the mortar between bricks in your home’s exterior, mailbox, or chimney.

What are the benefits of tuckpointing?

Tuckpointing enhances curb appeal, improves durability, promotes energy efficiency, and more! Your home will look brand new with expertly restored brick and mortar, and will be better protected from moisture infiltration and air leaks.

How do I know if I need tuckpointing services?

If you notice crumbled, cracked, loose, or discolored mortar in your walls, chimney, or other brickwork, it may be time to invest in tuckpointing. Also, white, chalky stains on the surface of your bricks may mean moisture is seeping through deteriorated mortar, indicating tuckpointing is needed to seal the joints and prevent further moisture penetration.
