Damaged Mortar?

Call the experts for a free estimate.

Repointing is the most common and important form of masonry repair. The mortar that holds all the masonry units (like brick, stone, or block) together is designed to crack or erode before the units themselves. Repointing seals the joints to prevent water penetration, and protects the masonry units from damage.

The preparation of the mortar joints and the type of mortar used are the biggest factors for a long lasting repair. We have a very thorough process to properly prepare mortar joints for pointing and always use the right mortar.

Repointing FAQ

Q. Do you cut out the old mortar from the joints?

A. Yes, the mortar is cut out a minimum of 2x the thickness of the joint. So usually about 1″ inch for brick and 2″ inches for stonework.

Q. How do you remove the mortar from the joints?

A. We have various tools ranging from hand chisels to grinders, rotary tools, and chippers. Each is used for different applications.

Q. How are the joints cleaned?

A. The joints cleaned by uniformly removing all damaged mortar, then vaccuming or brushing out loose debris, and washing the wall with a hose if possible.

Q. Do you use a grout bag or hand tools for repointing?

A. We always use hand tools, unless we are filling a deep cavity in a stone wall. Hand tools give far better compression and watertight seal.

Q. Do you use pure Portland for stone foundations?

A. Never. Stone foundations need a softer more permeable mortar

Q. Can you match different colours of mortar?

A. Yes, we can get all the basic colours which are available (Red, black, yellow, brown and variations of each)

Estimates FAQ

Q: How do you price your estimates?
A: Estimate prices are based on either square footage/number of units or by number of workers x number of days. Company costs such as trucks, gas, storage, insurance, advertising, offices etc. are added to the estimates as a fixed percentage.

Q. Can I get a better deal by getting more work done?
A. Yes. Square footage and per unit prices are lower with higher volumes. Doing 2 jobs at the same time (chimney and parging for example) will often lower the overall price.

Q. Who does your estimates?
A. We have one experienced estimator who does 90% of all our estimates. This allow us to focus on proper customer service and consistency.

Q. How soon can I get an estimator to come by?
A. Usually between 1-5 days from when you call in depending on our call volume and the area.
