Tuckpointing or brickpointing is the delicate art of removing old, degraded brick mortar from between your historic brick facade or even from your brick patio or brick walkway and replacing it with new mortar graded for use with historic brick. Some homeowners will go their entire lives never looking at the mortar between the bricks on their homes, but the fact is tuckpointing is a necessary element of the maintenance of any home, business or building. You may need to tuck point brick at your home and not even know it! A telltale sign you need to tuck point brick at your home is that the mortar between your bricks has become flaky and chalky and falls out to the touch. Tuckpointing is not a masonry repair you'll want to try yourself, or your could risk permanently damaging the historic brick at your home. Leave it to the pros, the pros at Ruda Masonry.
