We refill crumbling mortar joints before water gets a real foothold behind the brick.
A two-mortar technique for a crisp, precise joint line, common on brownstones and older facades.
Grinding out failed mortar completely and replacing it, the fix Local Law 11 inspectors want to see.
Fix spalled, cracked, or crumbling brick face caused by moisture and freeze-thaw damage.
Swap out bricks too far gone to save, matched to your existing facade so the repair doesn't stand out.

We treat brick pointing as a materials trade, not a trowel job. We rake or grind out failed mortar to a precise depth without nicking the surrounding brick edges, then rebuild it in thin sequential lifts so there's no hidden void behind the surface. We tool the finished joint to match your building, typically concave because it sheds water best in this climate, and we protect fresh mortar through its full cure instead of rushing off site. On brownstones and pre-war buildings, we use vapor-permeable, lime-forward mortar instead of hard modern cement, and we custom-blend sand and aggregate to match your original color and texture.
We also come to your job fully credentialed: OSHA-30, DOB Site Safety Training, scaffold operator certification, and working knowledge of FISP and Local Law 11 for buildings over six stories. We wet-grind with HEPA-filtered vacuums to keep silica dust contained and stay compliant with NYC's environmental rules.
We coordinate directly with your engineer when repointing needs to satisfy a FISP filing.
Mortar color and joint profile matched to your existing facade, not a generic gray patch.
