Chimney Repointing

Chimney repointing involves repairing the mortar joints between bricks or stones. Over time, these joints can become damaged due to weather exposure, causing structural problems and water damage. Our experienced masonry team can repoint your chimney, preventing further damage and ensuring your chimney remains structurally sound. Not doing tuckpointing will have an adverse affect to the point that it damaged enough that it will need to be rebuilt. Without tuckpointing the brick in the chimney will delaminate faster and need to be rebuilt.
