Masonry is the craft — not a sideline
Five services, all of them masonry. Tuckpointing is in our name and it's what we lead with, because failing mortar is where most brick problems start.
Our lead serviceTuckpointing
Failing mortar is how water gets into a wall. We grind out the old joints and repoint with color-matched mortar so the wall sheds water again and looks the way it should.
- Full mortar joint grinding & repointing
- Partial and spot repointing
- Color-matched mortar
- Historic & aged-brick repointing
If it's brick, stone or mortar, it's our work
Most calls we get are one of these. If yours isn't on the list, ask anyway — we'll tell you straight whether it's something we do.
