Tuck-Pointing & Repointing in Hamilton
Reinforced Masonry offers professional tuck-pointing and repointing services in Hamilton. We help you restore and maintain the beauty and integrity of your brickwork. Over time, the mortar between bricks can deteriorate due to weathering. It weakens the structure and impacts the appearance of your home or building. Our team of experts specializes in fixing these issues, ensuring your masonry stands strong and looks as good as new.
What is Tuck-Pointing?
Tuck-pointing is a technique used to improve the appearance of brickwork by replacing old, damaged mortar with fresh mortar that matches the color of your bricks. A fine line of contrasting mortar is then applied to create a neat, polished finish. This process not only enhances the visual appeal of your brick structure but also provides additional strength and protection against further damage.
What is Repointing?
Repointing is the process of removing and replacing deteriorated or missing mortar between the bricks. When the mortar becomes cracked, worn out, or washed away, it can leave your brick structure vulnerable to moisture and other damage. Repointing restores the structural integrity by sealing gaps and preventing water from seeping in, thus extending the life of your masonry.
