We've handled concrete, masonry, and waterproofing across southeastern Massachusetts since 1995, with free written estimates, fair pricing, and a workmanship guarantee.

Mortar is the sacrificial part of a masonry wall, it's meant to weather before the brick or stone does. When joints crumble, wash out, or open up, water gets behind the masonry and the damage accelerates. Repointing (tuckpointing) rakes out the failed mortar to a sound depth and repacks the joints with a mortar matched to the original in strength and color. On older buildings the match matters: too-hard modern mortar traps moisture and spalls historic brick.

Method & materials

How we approach repointing & tuckpointing

Joints raked out to roughly twice their width to sound mortar so the new pointing has depth to bond, not a thin skim.
Mortar matched to the original, softer lime-based mixes for pre-1920s brick, standard Portland-lime for newer work, so the joint moves with the wall.
Color and tooling matched to the existing joints so repairs disappear into the wall.
Compacted in lifts and tooled to shed water at the finished joint profile.

What goes wrong when it's done cheap

  • Skim-coating new mortar over old crumbling mortar, it bonds to nothing and pops out in a year.
  • Using a hard Portland mortar on soft historic brick, which forces moisture and freeze-thaw damage into the brick faces (spalling).
  • Shallow raking that leaves the joint too thin to hold, so water gets back in fast.

Do I need a permit for repointing & tuckpointing in Stoughton?
It depends on scope. Some repointing & tuckpointing work is a straightforward repair that doesn't need a permit; larger or structural scopes can. When a permit is needed, we pull it with the Stoughton Building Department on your behalf.
What's the difference between repointing and tuckpointing?
In everyday use they mean the same job, removing failed mortar and repacking the joints. We rake the old mortar to a sound depth and repack with matched mortar so the repair holds and sheds water.
Why does the mortar match matter on an old house?
Old brick is softer than modern brick. If you point it with a hard Portland mortar, moisture and freeze-thaw stress get forced into the brick faces and spall them. We match the mortar's strength to the masonry so the joint stays the sacrificial part.
Can you match the color of my existing joints?
Yes. We match both the mortar color and the joint tooling so repointed sections blend into the wall rather than standing out.
