Brick Pointing and Tuckpointing Services in Scarborough

Mortar joints are an important part of a brick or masonry structure. Over time, exposure to weather and general deterioration can cause mortar to crack, loosen or wear away.

We provide brick pointing and tuckpointing services for residential and commercial properties in Scarborough and serviceable locations across the GTA and Durham Region.

We assess the condition of the mortar and surrounding masonry before recommending the appropriate repair.

Brick Pointing Services

Mortar Joint Repair

Damaged or deteriorated mortar can be removed from affected areas and replaced where appropriate to restore the joints between masonry units.

Brick Tuckpointing

Tuckpointing can refresh deteriorated mortar joints and improve the appearance of brickwork while addressing damaged areas.

Chimney Pointing

Chimneys are particularly exposed to rain, snow, wind and seasonal temperature changes. Deteriorated chimney mortar should be assessed before the problem becomes more extensive.

Exterior Brick Repair

Where pointing issues occur alongside damaged brickwork, the surrounding masonry should also be reviewed to determine the required scope of repair.

Localized Masonry Repair

Not every wall requires extensive work. Localized deterioration can be assessed to determine whether targeted pointing is appropriate.

Signs Your Mortar Joints May Need Repair

Look for:

• Cracked mortar
• Missing mortar
• Loose or deteriorating joints
• Gaps between bricks
• Crumbling mortar
• Visible water-related deterioration
• Deterioration around chimneys
• Areas that have been repeatedly patched

These symptoms can have different causes, so an assessment is recommended before deciding on the repair.

Why Is Brick Pointing Important?

Mortar helps support and protect masonry assemblies.

When joints deteriorate, maintenance may be required to prevent the affected areas from becoming more extensive. Timely repairs can also improve the appearance of aging masonry.
