The current Boston page represents brick repointing, mortar-joint renewal, facade-related repointing and chimney masonry work. Repointing generally involves removing deteriorated mortar and installing compatible replacement mortar while retaining suitable surrounding masonry.
Crumbling mortar, missing mortar, open joints, visible gaps, weathered joint surfaces and localized deterioration can indicate that the mortar should be evaluated.
Repointing primarily renews deteriorated mortar joints. Tuckpointing can also refer to more detailed or decorative joint finishing intended to create a particular visual appearance.
Repointing can address open or deteriorated mortar joints that may provide moisture pathways, but water can also enter through damaged masonry, flashing, roofing, windows, drainage or other conditions.
Deteriorated mortar joints within a chimney stack may be suitable for repointing depending on the condition of the brick and surrounding masonry. Other chimney problems may require separate repair methods.
Replacement mortar can be selected with consideration for compatibility, color, texture and joint appearance, but exact visual matching cannot always be guaranteed because existing mortar changes through aging and weather exposure.
No. Localized deterioration may sometimes be addressed in specific areas, while widespread mortar failure may require work across a larger section. The existing condition should be evaluated first.
