What Goes Into Tuckpointing That Lasts
Our local experts explain the mortar, the color and each step before any joint is raked in Town 'n' Country.
Dampening brick before pointing
Dry brick pulls water out of fresh mortar too fast, which weakens it. Masonry guidance calls for dampening the joints and letting the brick absorb the surface water, so the masonry is damp with no standing water when the new mortar is pressed in.
Our crew adjusts that step to the brick and the day's conditions on your Town 'n' Country chimney. Very absorbent brick may need misting more than once before it is ready to point.
How the new joints will look at first
Freshly pointed joints nearly always look different from weathered mortar at first. National Park Service guidance notes that new and old mortar will usually differ for a while, and that staining the new mortar to match is generally not recommended.
We tell you what to expect before the work starts on your Town 'n' Country chimney. With a good color and texture match, the difference softens as the new joints weather.
Leaving sound mortar alone
Good mortar is worth keeping. Raking out joints that are still hard and firmly attached to the brick adds cost and risks chipping brick edges without making the chimney any better.
Our masons test the joints across each face of your Town 'n' Country chimney and repoint only the ones that have failed. You see the difference marked out before any price is set.
What your tuckpointing estimate spells out
A clear estimate lists the faces and courses to be repointed, the raking depth, the mortar type and color, how the joints will be finished and how the new work will be cured and protected. It also lists anything outside the job, such as crown or brick work.
Our estimates in Town 'n' Country are written that way, with upfront pricing and no hidden fees. The inspection before it is free, and joint work booked within 72 hours of it is 10% off.
