Historic-friendly repointing on older brick

Older Wheaton brick still needs soft, breathable joints—not bagged mortar dumped hard. We repoint to depth with compatible mixes and tooling that matches neighboring joints so campus-area and historic streetscapes stay coherent.

Our process

  1. 1 We use the appropriate mortar for your home's era Structures built before the 1960s utilized soft lime mortar, a design that permits moisture to pass through walls safely. Rigid modern cement can trap that moisture and risk damaging precious old brick. We replicate the original formula because your historic home requires the correct treatment.
  2. 2 We create a custom blend, not a generic substitute Before any work starts, we analyze your existing joints—their hue, aggregate, and finish. We then mix a bespoke match and apply a test patch for your approval. It's your home, and you should be completely satisfied with the outcome.
  3. 3 We find deep satisfaction in revitalizing aged walls Repointing isn't glamorous—it's about creating robust, healthy joints that silently provide structural support. Yet, stepping back to see a weary western suburban communities wall regain its dignity is why we love this craft. Our most cherished projects are often the subtle ones.
