Tuckpointing Services
At Drystone Masonry, our passion for tuckpointing services goes beyond mere restoration; it's about breathing new life into each brick and stone, infusing them with character and resilience that withstands the test of time. As tuckpointing contractors, we are devoted to the craft of preserving the rich heritage and timeless beauty of masonry structures.
Our experienced masons specialize in performing masonry tuckpointing with high quality and attention to detail. It consists of partially removing the old mortar from the stonework and replacing it with new mortar. This improves the appearance and strengthens the structure of the masonry, filling cracks and damage, as well as preventing moisture penetration and maintaining its strength for years to come.
We recommend regular inspection and necessary tuckpointing about every 10-15 years to keep the wall in good condition and prevent further damage.
Depending on the specific task, such as brick pointing repair or masonry restoration, we can suggest a specific mortar composition for optimal results, which will also affect the tuckpointing price. We match the type and grain size of the mortar to the texture and porosity of the stone. This will help to ensure good adhesion and fill all cracks and crevices. We will also make sure that the mortar matches the color and texture of the material (stone or brick) being used, to ensure a uniform and harmonious appearance when the job is completed.
As local masons, we take British Columbia's climatic conditions into account to ensure the masonry is durable after tuckpointing and resistant to moisture.
What sets our masonry tuckpointing apart? It's not just our expertise or our commitment to excellence; it's our unwavering dedication to understanding the unique needs of each project. Reverence for the past propels us forward, driving us to safeguard the architectural treasures of yesterday for the generations of tomorrow.
