[01 / BRICK REPAIR]
Brick repair and tuckpointing
We grind out failed joints to proper depth, then repoint with mortar matched to the old work for colour, texture and hardness.
Spalled or cracked brick is replaced with salvaged or matched units. Loose window sills and parapet courses are rebuilt course by course.
We also look for the causes: failed flashing, gutter overflow, and hard Portland mortar on soft old brick.

[ RESTORATION ]
Chimney repair, restored right
Water, frost and age wear on brick. We rebuild what has failed and protect what still stands.

[04 / HOW WE ADVISE]
Repair or rebuild
We give you the honest answer first, even when it means less work for us.
01
Repair when
Joints are eroded but the brick itself is sound.
Cracking is stable and has not moved over time.
Damage is localised to one wall or one section.
02
Rebuild when
Walls are bowed or out of plumb.
Brick faces are spalled right through.
A chimney leans above the roofline.
Earlier patch repairs are hiding movement.
On site we check
Plumb and bulge, mortar hardness, moisture source and the extent of failed units.
The owner is personally on the jobsite from start to finish.
[05 / QUESTIONS]
Straight answers
Plain answers on cost, scheduling, mortar matching, seasons and warranty.
01
What does tuckpointing cost?
Every job is priced after a site visit, because access, wall height and the extent of the damaged mortar all change the work.
02
How soon can you start?
Our typical lead time is a few weeks. Emergency water intrusion moves to the front of the schedule.
03
Will new mortar match my old brick?
We match colour, sand, texture and hardness, and we test a small area first so you can approve it before we continue.
04
Can you work in winter?
Masonry needs temperatures above freezing. Some jobs get cold-weather protection, but most repointing waits for spring.
05
Do you offer a warranty?
Our workmanship is guaranteed, and we explain exactly what the materials cover before any work begins.
06
Do you work with builders and general contractors?
Yes. We fit into new construction schedules and coordinate with your crew.
