Brick is one of the most enduring building materials in historic architecture — but the mortar that holds it together is not. When mortar fails, water finds its way in and the damage compounds quickly. We repoint brick facades and chimneys using period-appropriate mortar mixes matched to the original in composition, color, and texture. Done wrong, repointing destroys historic brick. Done right, it extends the life of your home by generations.
