Parapet Repair

Parapet walls — the sections of wall that rise above the roofline — take the full force of the weather year round. Constant exposure to rain, snow, freeze-thaw cycles and wind causes mortar joints to deteriorate, bricks to loosen, and walls to lean or bow over time. Left unaddressed, a failing parapet can become a serious safety hazard and let water into the structure below.

Star Tuckpointing repairs and rebuilds parapet walls to restore both their strength and appearance. Depending on the condition, this may involve tuckpointing the joints, resetting or replacing damaged brick, rebuilding the wall from a sound course up, and reinstalling proper coping and flashing to keep water out. We pay close attention to protecting the surrounding roof, windows and landscaping throughout the job.
