Lonik Tuckpointing Services
Crumbling mortar on exterior brick and stonework makes your home look dated and reduces your curb appeal. One of the easiest ways to give it a facelift is through our tuckpointing and damaged mortar repair services. Tuckpointing is the process of removing the old, damaged mortar from your bricks and replacing it with a mortar that closely matches the color of the stones or bricks themselves.
Then, narrow lines of putty in a contrasting color are embedded down the centers of the new mortar joints. These narrow lines, also called fillets, look much sleeker than older, more traditional mortar lines which tend to be very wide. It’s an easy, cost-effective way to make your home look younger!

Tuckpointing Foundations & Walls
Tuckpointing services do more for Michigan homeowners than just improve their aesthetic. Tuckpointing also reinforces your current masonry work. This helps to prevent moisture from seeping into your walls and causing interior water damage, structural collapse, prevents mold and mildew growth, and offers a much more affordable option than replacing the current brick or stone.

Our tuckpointing services team has experience carrying out their duties on even some of the most damaged and corroded homes. We’ll start by completing an inspection which will show us the severity of the deterioration. Then, we’ll carefully remove all the damaged mortar and choose a color that’s a near-exact match for your current brick color. Using specialized tools, we’ll then refill the areas we cleared with the matching color and add fillets between each of the bricks for a sleek finish.

What is tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing is a form of masonry that involves grinding out and re-sealing the seams on a brick structure with new mortar. Harsh weather conditions such as wind, rain, snow and ice can cause the mortar between bricks to deteriorate over time. This deterioration can result in cracked, loose or missing mortar between your bricks.
This will allow moisture to enter into your brick chimney, steps, and porch, eventually resulting in the need to have them replaced. Having your bricks tuckpointed will protect your home from deterioration and eliminate the need for replacement which can cost thousands of dollars. Tuckpointing is less than half the cost of replacement.
Sealing
In addition to tuckpointing, we offer the option to have your brick structures sealed with high-grade weatherproofing sealant. The sealant we use is a water repellent that prevents moisture from penetrating your chimney, porch, steps, etc. This added layer of defense against moisture may be just the thing needed to protect your bricks from another harsh Michigan winter!
