Why Brick Pointing Matters in Manhattan

Manhattan buildings face constant damage from:

Pollution

Traffic vibrations

Old building structures

Very cold winters and hot summers

Regular exposure to wind and moisture

With time, mortar joints can crack, chip, or fall out. Without quick brick repointing, water can enter walls and cause decay and mold. It can also bring DOB violations. Brick Pointing NYC repairs your building with careful work that follows NYC rules and matches its look.

Brick Pointing in Manhattan

Manhattan is a borough of brick and brownstone, from Harlem row houses and Upper West Side pre war apartment buildings to SoHo lofts and downtown walk ups. Behind many stone facades the walls are brick, with party walls and rear walls that need pointing as the mortar ages.

Areas We Serve

Upper East SideUpper West SideHarlemSoHoTribecaWashington Heights

In neighborhoods like Harlem, the Upper West Side, the Upper East Side and Hamilton Heights, block after block of 19th and early 20th century brick and brownstone buildings have mortar joints worn down by decades of freeze and thaw, rain and city grime. Once the mortar goes soft, water works into the wall and the brick itself begins to spall and crack.

SoHo, Tribeca and the Village add another layer with their cast iron and brick loft buildings, where tall brick facades need careful repointing and brick replacement to stay sound.

Many of these blocks sit in historic districts, so the pointing has to match the original mortar color and joint style rather than a quick patch.

Whether it is repointing a brownstone in Harlem, tuckpointing a pre war building on the Upper West Side or restoring a loft facade in SoHo, we keep Manhattan brickwork solid and watertight.
