Restore the Strength and Beauty of Your Brickwork with Expert Mortar Repairs in NYC
Over time, brickwork in NYC buildings wears down, especially the mortar joints that hold it together. Whether you have crumbling joints, cracked parapet walls, or old brickwork losing grip, our mortar repair services can restore your masonry safely and affordably. We meet DOB standards.
We focus on mortar joint repair, brick grinding, lintel and joint repointing, and parapet wall repair for brownstones, townhouses, commercial buildings, and historic properties across New York City.
Our NYC Mortar Repair Services Include:
Mortar Joint Repair (Pointing & Repointing)
If your brick wall shows cracks or sandy gaps between bricks, the mortar is failing. This can cause water damage and weaken the structure.
Match new mortar to the original color and texture
Make sure the work blends with the original brick
We remove damaged mortar carefully
Repoint joints by hand for accuracy
Whether a historic Brooklyn brownstone or a commercial building in Manhattan, our repointing keeps your structure strong and improves curb appeal.
Brick Grinding Services
Before repointing, we grind out old, decayed mortar using special tools that do not harm the bricks.
Our brick grinding includes:
Removing cracked, weathered, or loose mortar
Preparing joints for strong, lasting mortar adhesion
Using dust-controlled grinders for a clean and safe site
We take time with this step because good mortar repair starts with proper preparation.
Lintel & Joint Repointing
Lintels are horizontal supports above windows and doors that carry high stress. Weak mortar here can cause sagging walls, leaks, and structural problems.
We provide:
Sealing and waterproofing after repointing
Inspecting lintel joints for gaps or movement
Grinding and repointing using high-strength mortar
For older buildings, we check for rust on steel lintels behind the brick, which may need repair or replacement.
Parapet Wall Repair & Repointing
Parapet walls rise above the roof and face wind, rain, and temperature changes. These conditions make mortar damage common.
Our parapet wall service includes:
Grinding out loose joints
Replacing loose bricks or cracked caps
Repointing with mortar that resists weather
Adding flashing and waterproofing to stop roof leaks
We make sure your parapet wall is strong and meets DOB facade safety rules (FISP/Local Law 11).
