Professional Brick Pointing
& Repointing in NYC
Need brick pointing services in New York City? Our team offers brick pointing, repointing, tuckpointing, and spot pointing to help keep your building strong and looking good. From small spot repairs to full facade work, our licensed masons have years of experience with NYC brickwork.
What is Brick Pointing?
Brick pointing means removing damaged mortar joints from brick walls and replacing them with fresh mortar. Over time, rain, snow, and temperature changes in NYC can cause the mortar to crack or wear away. If repairs are not made, walls can weaken and allow water inside, leading to mold or serious damage.
We use mortar that matches your building’s original color and type to keep it safe, dry, and looking good.
Brick Repointing in NYC
Brick repointing means renewing the outer layer of mortar joints in brick walls. It is often needed in older NYC buildings where the mortar has worn away but the bricks are still strong.
Signs you may need brick repointing:
Mortar is loose or falling out
Gaps are visible between bricks
Water leaks through the wall
Interior paint is peeling from moisture
We remove the old mortar by hand or with gentle tools, then replace it with matching mortar. This creates a solid wall that looks well-maintained.
Service is available in all NYC boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island.
Tuckpointing Services
Tuckpointing is similar to repointing but uses two mortar colors. One matches the brick while the other contrasts to give the look of thin, neat joints. This method is often chosen to improve the look of historic facades and townhouses.
Benefits of tuckpointing:
Helps avoid expensive structural repairs
Can match the original historic style
Improves the look of old brickwork
Increases property value
NYC has strict rules for restoration work, especially in landmark areas, and we follow them exactly.
Spot Pointing (For Minor Brickwork Repairs)
Spot pointing is a smaller-scale form of repointing. It works well when only certain areas of mortar joints are damaged, such as around windows, corners, or parapet walls.
We check the problem spots, remove loose mortar only where needed, and replace it with fresh, weather-resistant mortar.
This is an affordable choice for property owners who are not ready for full facade work but want to stop damage from spreading.
