Tuckpointing is tooling or striking mortar over the cracked joints. Most of our projects are re-pointing projects. We grind out the deteriorated mortar bed approximately 1-2 inches in depth, clean and power wash out the mortar dust. We then mix mortar applying bonding agents and apply it to the joint. We then tool the new mortar into the joints and brush it smooth. For proper cure throughout the pointing process the entire wall is sprayed with water to prevent the mortar from drying out too fast.
After pointing we then clean the brick or stone and apply a waterproof sealer that will repel water away form the mortar adding years of longevity to your building. A few other replacement services we provide for building restoration are foundations, Epoxy fillers, wall caps, window sills, door and windows, decorative metal fascia, masonry patching and calking, etc.
