Tuckpointing Contractors

Using a "swing stage" to work at higher elevations
to do tuckpointing.

Mortar joints are serviceable for 35 years or more when properly installed. The masonry units themselves, typically brick or concrete block, may have a serviceable life of 100 years or more.

Removing old mortar by grinding

As with any building product continuously exposed to the elements, masonry is subject to weathering. Acids in the rain, seismic movement, building settlement, freezing and thawing cycles, impact damage, and dirt take their toll.

Applying fresh mortar...then a wash and cleaning.

When visual inspection reveals that the mortar joints are cracking or otherwise deteriorated, restoration and tuckpointing are necessary to help maintain the integrity of wall systems and products.
