A little knowledge goes a long way – especially in property ownership. When you begin to see signs of deterioration in your home or business, it might be time to call a professional for an expert look at what’s happening. Here are a few signs you may need tuckpointing:

• Mortar with cracks or flaking material.
• Holes in mortar between bricks.
• Color differences in the mortar itself.

While we understand the intent of the question, it misses the real focus of tuckpointing service as it assumes this is an all-over treatment. It’s not, or it shouldn’t be. Tuckpointing is a spot treatment, meaning it’s applied where needed. It’s not a service meant to coat your entire home or business in new mortar and brick. If your structure is that far gone, tuckpointing is not going to solve your underlying issues. You’re in need of repointing, or possibly even new construction. We can help with both!

The tuckpointing services from Lintel, Tuckpointing & Masonry Repair should last for decades, but that’s not always the case – depending on who you choose to work with. See, for tuckpointing to be truly effective any and all leaks or settling issues that caused problems in the first place have to be fixed prior to doing the work. If they’re not, you’ll just experience the same problems a few years down the line. That’s why it’s so important to work with a reputable contractor – like Lintel, Tuckpointing & Masonry Repair.
