The pointing between stones and bricks can weaken over time and wear erode after continued exposure to the elements. This may allow water to seep inside the wall and damage it.



Repointing is the process by which masons remove deteriorated or damaged mortar from the joints and replace it with new mortar. Not only will repointing improve the stability of the structure itself, but it will also benefit the aesthetic appeal of your stone or brick as well.

What's the difference between pointing and tuckpointing?
We've already covered what repointing is, but you might have heard of a term called tuckpointing as well. Though both terms are often used interchangeably, tuckpointing is different from simple repointing it involves closely matching the colors of the bricks and embedding narrow lines of putting in a different color in the middle of the joints. They're aesthetically different.

What if I don't repoint my brick or stonework?
If you hold off on repointing your brickwork/stonework, you risk further damage caused by moisture leaking into your joints. This can erode your bricks and cause an even more expensive project down the road.

How do you know if you need repointing?
Take a look at the stone/brick. Are there cracks in the mortar you can clearly detect? Do you see any gaps between the bricks or stone? Are the bricks/ stone loose? Is water leaking into the interior of the home?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may need repointing.
