NYC Brick Pointing Pros

Brick pointing, also known as repointing, is the essential process of renewing the external mortar joints between bricks. Over decades, exposure to sun, rain, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles causes mortar to crack, crumble, and fall out. This isn't just an aesthetic issue; it's a major threat to your property's structural integrity, allowing water to seep in and cause costly damage.Our expert masonry contractors in Brooklyn specialize in diagnosing and correcting these issues. The process begins wi...

Once that sets, a thin, contrasting line of put...

Brick pointing, or repointing, means replacing the mortar joints between bricks that have cracked, crumbled, or washed out over the years. Freeze-thaw cycles, rain, and wind work into those joints and let water reach the wall behind the brick, which is how small problems turn into expensive ones. We start by looking over the wall to see how far the deterioration goes. Then we chisel out the failing mortar to a uniform depth, mix new mortar that matches the color and hardness of your existing wor...

Tuck pointing is a detailed two-step method for brickwork that goes further than a standard repoint. We first rake out the damaged joints and fill them with mortar colored to match your bricks. Once that has set, we press a thin strip of lime putty, called a fillet, down the center of each joint. That contrasting line makes each brick look crisp and well defined, which suits older rowhouses and landmark buildings where the original look matters. The work is slow and needs a steady hand so the br...

Decades of soot, traffic exhaust, and mildew can leave brick looking dull and stained. Cleaning masonry is easy to get wrong, so we look for cracks and loose mortar before we turn the washer on, since high pressure can force water behind the brick or pull out weak material. We then set our equipment to a pressure and detergent suited to brick and mortar, which lifts the grime without eroding the face of the wall. The result is a thorough clean that scrubbing by hand rarely achieves. If you want,...

Chimneys take a lot of punishment from weather and heat, and their mortar joints are often the first to fail. Water that gets into those joints can damage the flue and the structure around it, so repairing them is an important part of keeping a chimney safe. We rake out the deteriorated mortar and repack the joints with new material that matches the original. For a finished look, we can also add a tuck pointed fillet over the joints, which gives the chimney a clean, defined appearance. If your c...
