Tailored Mortar Options for Tuckpointing and Repointing

  • Lime Mortar
    • Lime mortar is often preferred for tuckpointing and repointing historic or older buildings. It is more flexible and breathable than modern cement-based mortars, making it suitable for structures accommodating slight movements and moisture fluctuations.
  • Hydraulic Lime Mortar
    • In areas with higher moisture levels or harsher climates, hydraulic lime mortars are used. They have properties enabling them to set and harden even in damp conditions, providing improved water resistance.
  • Mortars with Additives
    • Some commercial tuckpointing and repointing projects require special additives in the mortar mix to enhance specific characteristics, such as water repellency or improved workability.
  • Matching Mortar Color
    • Achieving an exact match of the mortar color is vital for preserving the building’s visual appearance during tuckpointing and repointing. Our skilled artisans blend pigments and use color-matching technology to blend seamlessly with the original mortar.

Tuckpointing and Repointing for Historical Buildings Nationwide

Tuckpointing and repointing for historical buildings is a specialized and delicate process, where mortar joints are restored to preserve the structure’s historical and architectural integrity.

Petrographic Tests for Mortar

As a third-generation commercial repointing company involved in construction materials testing, we know the importance of petrographic mortar tests. Petrographic testing examines and analyzes the mineral composition, texture and overall quality of the mortar samples. This type of testing provides valuable insights into the properties and potential issues of the mortar, helping our tuckpointing and repointing services stand the test of time.
