Masonry restoration, built to outlast the weather.

Tuckpointing is the complete process of restoring older masonry joints — carefully grinding out damaged mortar and tucking in fresh, color-matched mortar so the wall is sound and the finish is clean. It is the heart of what we do.

A brick wall can stand for over a century, but its mortar joints rarely last against Chicago's freeze and thaw. Occasional repointing is simply expected over the life of a building — and done right, it is nearly invisible. We match mortar color and tooling so the repair disappears into the wall and the structure keeps standing for the next generation.
