Tuckpointing & repointing — one department of eighteen
Association packets include mortar samples. Material can be pulled from General Masonry Supply on Wright Boulevard.
Our process
- 1 Mortar erosion undermines more than appearance Throughout the established northwest suburbs, winter weather pushes moisture into open joints that freeze, expand, and pry mortar loose. If ignored, these receding joints allow water to penetrate deep within the wall, causing damage to the brick. Tuckpointing stops this destructive process at its origin.
- 2 Precision cutting and hand-finished joints Our artisans uniformly remove decayed mortar to a depth of about three-quarters of an inch. After cleaning and moistening the joint, we fill it with fresh mortar, custom-mixed to replicate the original hue, texture, and tooled finish. The outcome appears as original masonry, not a patch.
- 3 Workmanship measured in decades Correctly executed and cured tuckpointing can last twenty-five to thirty years, even amidst the freeze-thaw cycles of Schaumburg. Durability hinges on joint depth, mortar suitability, and patient curing. We settle for nothing less.
