Tuckpointing on the Delta five-step
Site visit, written package scope, mortar match, our crew, 3-year warranty. We do not subcontract the grind. .
Our process
- 1 Mortar erosion undermines more than appearance In the established northwest suburbs, annual freeze-thaw cycles force water into compromised joints, where expansion progressively fractures the mortar. Ignored, these receding joints permit water infiltration deep into the wall assembly, risking irreversible brick damage. Our tuckpointing interventions arrest this destructive process definitively.
- 2 Precision cutting and hand-finished joints Our artisans first excise deteriorated mortar to a consistent depth, typically three-quarters of an inch. After thorough cleaning and dampening, we pack each joint with fresh mortar, custom-blended to replicate the original's color, texture, and tooled profile. The finished work appears as undisturbed historic fabric, not a modern repair.
- 3 Workmanship measured in decades Correctly executed and cured tuckpointing withstands twenty-five to thirty years of Mount Prospect winters. Its longevity is governed by joint preparation, mortar compatibility, and patient curing—standards we uphold without compromise.
