Joint Restoration for Arlington Heights Brick Homes
On Arlington Heights ranches and two-story colonials, soft 1950s–70s mortar sheds after every freeze-thaw cycle. We grind failed joints clean, match color and hardness, and rebuild the wall plane so northwest-suburban winters stop chewing the brick face.
Our process
- 1 How do you know it's time Look for cracks between bricks, mortar that turns to dust when touched, or interior wall water stains. Harsh Arlington Heights winters worsen exposed joints as water freezes and expands. Delaying action for a year often means costly brick replacement in addition to mortar repairs.
- 2 What does the job actually involve Our process involves grinding out failed mortar to a proper depth, cleaning the joints, and packing in new, color-matched mortar. We then shape the joints to mirror the original style. For most homes, the work takes days, not weeks.
- 3 How long will it hold up Proper tuckpointing endures 25-30 years, even with our freeze-thaw weather. Success hinges on cutting deep enough and allowing mortar to cure above freezing temperatures. That's why spring to fall is ideal, and we never skimp on preparation.
