Tuckpointing in Chicago is a skill requiring our experience, as well as our love of restoration. The process is all about making the brick work in relation to its connecting mortar. In short, when we make the joints right, the wall is at its best. The following is a condensed version of what we do:
- For tuckpointing in Chicago, we sand the dirt, dust and grime off of the mortar. This can be done for interior and exterior walls. Exterior walls tend to have more caked onto joints, but interior walls can be very dirty plenty, too. Think fireplaces, cigarette smoke, wood-burning ovens and more. We blast off the dirt with equipment or by hand. With hundreds of square footage or more, you can imagine this can be an exercise in endurance. And, we do not hurt old bricks.
- The next stage in tuckpointing in Chicago is making sure all of the buildup is cleared off. This is done with water or by other methods. Cleaned joints are impressive to see after several years or decades.
- The final stages involve applying more mortar (often referred to as “puddy”) to make everything look brand new. Some projects merit the use of paint to make joints look perfectly symmetrical.
We are the easy choice. We are old masters in this field, with decades of experience in “The Brick City” and surrounding areas. Our company has been serving the Midwestern area since 1938.
