Tuckpointing
Just like the deterioration in the rest of your chimney, tuckpointing focuses on fixing the wear and tear of the mortar between your bricks. Depending on the time-period your home was built, the types of products used, and the inclement weather your chimney endures will determine just how quickly you need tuckpointing.
​
Older homes and historical buildings will need tuckpointing sooner because of the time elapsed and the less modern products used. Our experts use the best technology and top-of-the-line materials for not only a visually appealing final product but a weathertite chimney that will last.
