Brickwork Restoration & Re-Pointing

One of the most common masonry repair services for chimneys is tuckpointing or repointing. This process involves removing damaged or deteriorating mortar from between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. Tuckpointing not only restores the chimney's appearance but also prevents water infiltration and further degradation of the structure.

Other repair services may include replacing damaged bricks, rebuilding portions of the chimney, repairing or replacing the chimney crown, and addressing issues with the flashing where the chimney meets the roof. In cases of severe damage, masonry repair services may also encompass partial or complete chimney repair or rebuilding.
