Queens has many brick homes, brownstones, and pre-war buildings, but weather damages them. Over time, moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and wear weaken mortar joints and cause serious structural problems.
That is where our team helps.

Queens has more brick than people expect, and some of the city's most distinctive brickwork. Ridgewood alone is famous for its blocks of tan and yellow brick row houses, including the landmarked Mathews Model Flats, built from the local Kreischer brick that gives the neighborhood its look. Keeping that brickwork sound means careful repointing that matches the original brick and mortar.
Across Astoria, Sunnyside, Woodside and Jackson Heights, older attached homes and brick apartment buildings have mortar joints that have eroded over the decades, letting in water and leading to spalled, cracked brick. Further out, the single and two family homes of Forest Hills, Bayside, Fresh Meadows and Whitestone have brick facades, chimneys and porches that need pointing, brick repair and chimney work over time.
Queens weather, with its freeze and thaw cycles, is hard on mortar, and once joints fail the damage spreads into the wall. Whether it is repointing a Ridgewood row house, tuckpointing a brick home in Astoria or repairing a chimney in Bayside, we keep Queens brickwork solid and watertight.
Brick pointing is the process of removing old or damaged mortar. New mortar is applied to strengthen walls and prevent water damage effectively.
If you notice cracked mortar, gaps, loose bricks, or moisture leaks, call a professional for a brick pointing inspection immediately.
A properly completed brick pointing job can last twenty to thirty years. The lifespan depends on materials, weather, and maintenance over time.
