Masonry Repair & Repointing
Brick and masonry are incredibly durable — but they're not maintenance-free. Over time, the mortar between bricks deteriorates from weathering, water intrusion, and freeze-thaw cycles. Cracked mortar allows water to penetrate behind the brick, leading to structural damage, mold, and expensive repairs. Repointing (replacing deteriorated mortar) is essential maintenance for Baltimore's older brick homes. Done correctly, it preserves the structural integrity and appearance of your home for decades.

Why Choose Professional Repointing
Bad repointing is worse than no repointing. Using the wrong mortar (too hard, wrong color, poor mix) damages bricks and accelerates deterioration. Grinding joints too deep weakens the wall. Improper technique leaves gaps that trap water. We've fixed countless bad repointing jobs. When we repoint, we use the correct mortar mix for your home's age, we match color and texture, we prepare joints properly, and we tool the mortar for proper weathering. It's done right, and it lasts.
