Properly executed masonry repairs should last 20-30 years or more in New England’s climate. The key is using the right materials and techniques for our freeze-thaw cycles and coastal conditions. Cheap repairs using inappropriate mortar or shortcuts in preparation typically fail within 3-5 years. We use lime-based mortars that match the flexibility and permeability of historic masonry, and modern materials engineered for durability where appropriate. The investment in doing it right the first time saves you from repeated repairs and potential structural damage.
Repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with new mortar that matches the original in strength and composition. Tuck pointing is a decorative technique where mortar is applied in two colors to create the appearance of fine joint lines. Most repair work in Beachmont involves repointing – removing old, crumbling mortar and installing new mortar that will protect the masonry from water infiltration. The key is matching the original mortar’s strength and permeability so the new work doesn’t cause problems with the existing masonry.
Masonry repair costs vary significantly based on the extent of damage, accessibility, and materials needed. Simple repointing might run $15-25 per square foot, while structural repairs or complete rebuilds cost considerably more. The real cost consideration is the difference between proper repairs and cheap fixes. Proper repairs last decades and protect your property value. Cheap repairs fail quickly and often cause additional damage that’s more expensive to fix later. We provide detailed written estimates so you understand exactly what you’re getting for your investment.
Yes, matching existing mortar is a critical part of quality masonry work. We analyze your existing mortar to determine the right mix of cement, lime, and sand to match both the color and texture. This isn’t just about appearance – the new mortar needs to have similar strength and permeability characteristics as the original. Using mortar that’s too hard can cause the surrounding masonry to crack. We take samples and test different mixes to ensure the repair blends seamlessly and performs properly with your existing masonry.
Spring through fall is ideal for masonry work in Massachusetts. Mortar needs time to cure properly, and freezing temperatures can damage fresh mortar joints. However, emergency repairs sometimes can’t wait for perfect weather. We can work in cooler temperatures using techniques like heated enclosures and additives that allow proper curing. The key is planning non-emergency work during favorable weather, while being available for urgent repairs that can’t wait. Water infiltration through damaged masonry can cause serious problems if left unaddressed through winter.
Yes, we work on both residential and commercial properties throughout Beachmont and surrounding areas.

Commercial work involves building facades, structural repairs, and maintenance for property managers and business owners. The techniques and attention to detail remain the same regardless of project size. Every job gets the same commitment to quality materials and proper installation methods that ensure long-term performance in our challenging New England climate.
