TUCKPOINTING
The unique character of your brick walls brings a rich beauty to your home that will accent the timeless style of your architecture. However, as bricks age, the mortar joints that hold them in place can fall victim to the elements-weathering and age can cause the mortar to break down, leaving your beautiful brick full of holes and allowing moisture to enter moving back into the home.
What is Tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing refers to the practice of carefully removing and replacing the old, degraded mortar joints in your brickwork with fresh, high-quality mortar. In addition to improving the overall appearance of your home’s exterior by providing clean, straight lines, the skilled coring, and cutting required for tuckpointing literally helps your brickwork stay together.
Benefits of Tuckpointing:
- Improved Aesthetics: Fresh mortar joints add a clean and polished look to your brick facade, instantly boosting your home’s curb appeal and value.

- Extended Lifespan: By doing brick wall repair the right way, tuckpointing helps extend their lifespan, saving you money on costly repairs down the road.
- Increased Energy Efficiency: Properly sealed mortar joints can help to improve your home’s energy efficiency by minimizing air leaks.
