Tuckpointing & Repointing
At Guardian Roofing & Masonry, we specialize in professional tuckpointing and repointing services for homes and businesses throughout Boston, MA. These essential masonry restoration techniques not only enhance the appearance of your brickwork but also preserve its structural integrity for decades to come.
:
Repointing involves removing deteriorated or damaged mortar from the joints between bricks or stones and replacing it with new, high-quality mortar. This process seals gaps, prevents water intrusion, and restores the strength of your masonry walls.:
Tuckpointing is a more decorative process that uses two contrasting colors of mortar—one to match the bricks and another as a thin, fine line to mimic the look of perfectly finished joints. It not only repairs but also enhances the visual appeal of your brickwork, making it look crisp and new.
