Tuckpointing is a masonry repair process that involves carefully removing deteriorated mortar from brick joints and replacing it with new mortar to strengthen and seal the wall. However, tuckpointing goes beyond a simple mortar replacement. To improve aesthetics, experts use two contrasting colors of mortar. One to blend with the brick and another (a thin line) to give the appearance of fine joint lines. This technique makes the brickwork look fresh, well-defined, and neat.

Tuckpointing is essential in both historic preservation and modern repair. Whether it’s an old building that has lost some of its charm or a newer structure showing signs of wear, tuckpointing can enhance durability and improve visual appeal. Modern Wall Systems has perfected the art and science of this restoration technique, making us the go-to company for property owners looking to rejuvenate their brick structures.
