What is TuckPointing?

Also referred to as “pointing,”  “brick pointing,” and  “repointing,” depending mostly on geography, the tuckpointing process is a technique which creates the illusion of very fine mortar joints between bricks. This is achieved by coordinating the color of the mortar to match the brick color, itself. Generally performed primarily for aesthetic reasons, an additional benefit to re-pointing brick is that it improves the function of the wall itself, by preventing the entrance of damaging moisture which can reduce the structure’s strength.

Benefits of Tuckpointing Brick in Springfield

Springfield has a robust history of utilizing brick construction for both homes and businesses alike. Just take a look at the buildings of our beloved downtown area, and many of the homes on the Historic West Side. While undoubtedly beautiful, like anything else, time has taken a toll on many of our area’s brick structures. From unsightly (and potentially dangerous) cracks in brick facades, to crumbling mortar of residential chimneys,  re-pointing is usually a great option for Springfield residents to restore the beauty of their brick.
