BRICK REPOINTING
Preserving The Character Of Brick Homes
Brick repointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar joints and replacing them with new mortar compatible with the original masonry. When performed correctly, repointing helps protect the brickwork from moisture intrusion while preserving its appearance and structural integrity.
The Details
The quality of a repointing project is often determined by the details. Mortar color, texture, joint profiles, and workmanship all influence how the finished masonry will look for decades to come.
Whether repointing a chimney, the needed areas, or an entire home, careful attention to these details helps preserve the original appearance of the brickwork.
The Process
Every project begins with a consultation and evaluation of the existing brickwork and mortar.
Deteriorated mortar is carefully removed before repointing with the new mortar to complement the original masonry. Attention is given to mortar color, texture, joint profile, strength, and overall appearance throughout the repointing process.
