Tuck Pointing Swampscott

Experts At Repairing Mortar in Brickwork For Swampscott

Millbrook Masonry and Construction provides a complete brick pointing and tuckpointing service for customers in Swampscott that require assistance with repairing the brick and masonry stone wall at their home.

Brick homes are a testament to timeless beauty and durability. However, as the years go by, the mortar binding these bricks can start to recede. This recessed mortar makes the bricks vulnerable to weathering and erosion.

Our professional tuck pointers in Swampscott will help restore the integrity and aesthetic value of your brick walling, eliminate water intrusion, and prevent structural compromise by tuck-pointing damaged brickwork.

Weathering and decay over time create cavities between masonry joints and allow undesirable water penetration. This should be dealt with fast, especially into the winter months, as it can lead to serious damage from the frost / thaw cycle within the brickwork.

Damaged bricks can be chipped out and replaced with matching brickwork in cases where the frost / thaw cycle has completely eroded the brick or masonry stone.

We recommend a limestone putty mortar instead of a concrete mortar mix for natural stone walls as natural stone is generally softer and will become damaged over time due to compression from the concrete joint.

Along with our repointing, we offer other masonry repair options including masonry repairs and chimney repairs in Swampscott.
