Look for these warning signs: cracks wider than a quarter-inch, mortar that crumbles when you touch it, bricks or stones that move when pushed, or any bulging or leaning sections. Water stains on interior walls near masonry areas are also concerning. Even “cosmetic” issues like small cracks can let water in, which leads to bigger problems during freeze-thaw cycles. If you’re seeing any damage, it’s worth having it assessed properly. Small issues are much cheaper to fix than structural damage.
Repointing means removing old, damaged mortar and replacing it with new mortar while keeping the original bricks or stones. This works when the masonry units themselves are still solid. Rebuilding means taking down a section completely and reconstructing it, which is necessary when the bricks or stones are damaged, or when the structure has shifted. Repointing costs less but only works if the underlying masonry is sound. A proper assessment determines which approach your project needs.
Properly done masonry work should last decades, even with our harsh freeze-thaw cycles. The key is using the right mortar mix for your specific masonry type and ensuring proper drainage. Historic buildings often need softer mortars than modern construction. Poor quality repairs might fail within a few years, especially if the wrong materials were used. Quality work with appropriate materials and techniques should give you 20-30 years or more before needing attention again.
Most masonry work should be done when temperatures are consistently above freezing, typically spring through fall. Mortar needs proper curing time and can’t freeze during the initial setting period. However, emergency repairs for structural safety can sometimes be done with special cold-weather techniques and materials. We’ll be honest about whether your project should wait for better weather or if it needs immediate attention for safety reasons.
Costs vary significantly based on the extent of damage, accessibility, and materials needed. Simple repointing might run a few hundred dollars per section, while rebuilding structural areas costs considerably more. Historic restoration work typically costs more than standard repairs due to specialized materials and techniques. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific situation. Emergency repairs cost more than planned work, which is why addressing small issues early saves money long-term.
Yes, we work on both residential homes and commercial properties throughout Tyngsboro. Residential projects include chimneys, foundations, walkways, patios, and retaining walls.
