Tuckpointing is an important maintenance process for brick structures, preserving both their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. As buildings age, mortar joints can deteriorate. It can lead to water infiltration and potential structural issues. Professional tuckpointing services address these concerns, extending the life of masonry work and maintaining the value of properties. As a well-established tuckpointing company, we’ll discuss what to expect when hiring one.
