Trusted Tuckpointing Company Specializing in Masonry Restoration
Tuck pointing is the optimal solution when the mortar between bricks develops cracks, or becomes loose. These cracks can widen over time as water enters the cracks, then freezes and thaws during winter. Eventually, this can become a serious safety hazard as it can lead to an unstable structure.

Signs Your Brickwork Needs Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing is essential for maintaining your building’s structural integrity and visual appeal. Here are key signs that your brickwork may need professional attention.
Crumbling or Missing Mortar
Mortar holds your bricks together. When it begins to crumble or fall out, it compromises the structure’s stability and allows bricks to shift over time.
Visible Gaps Between Bricks
Gaps in mortar joints can allow moisture to seep in, accelerating brick decay and weakening the wall’s structural integrity.
Water Leaks or Damp Spots on Interior Walls
Damaged mortar joints can allow water to enter, causing interior issues like mold, rot, and insulation damage. Tuckpointing seals these vulnerabilities.
Structural Shifts or Brick Movement
Shifting or bowing bricks are signs of failing mortar. Early tuckpointing helps prevent serious structural problems from developing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tuckpointing
If you’re considering tuckpointing services for your property, you likely have some questions. Below, we answer some of the most common queries we receive.
Tuckpointing can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years, depending on the quality of materials used, the condition of the original mortar, and the local climate. Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of the tuckpointing, ensuring your walls remain secure and aesthetically appealing for years to come.
While DIY kits are available, tuckpointing is a skill that requires precision and experience. If not done correctly, DIY tuckpointing can lead to poor results and even further damage. It’s best to hire a professional contractor who specializes in tuckpointing to ensure the job is done right.
The cost of tuckpointing depends on several factors, including the size of the area to be repaired, the extent of the damage, and the materials used. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $5 and $25 per square foot for tuckpointing services. To get an accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling an inspection to assess your specific needs.
Tuckpointing is both a cosmetic and structural repair. While it enhances the appearance of the brickwork by filling in mortar joints, it also plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the wall. If the mortar joints are deteriorating, the wall becomes weaker, which can lead to further damage. Tuckpointing addresses both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your masonry.
