Masonry Tuckpointing

Masonry tuckpointing is the process of pointing or repointing the mortar between the brick, block, or stone of a masonry structure or veneer. It typically requires removing some of the old mortar from the mortar joints before masonry repointing can be performed. This is due to the ability of mortars to get a proper bond. Bonding requires about 3/4 of an inch depth and a clean moist surface to get the best bond.

Alamo Masonry specializes in brick repointing and was among the first companies to specialize in repointing brickwork. Brick pointing or tuckpointing brick requires attention to detail, and knowledge of how the original work went together.

We also specialize in house foundation repairs. This combination of our specialties provides us with a better understanding of what is causing your brick mortar to crack, and allows us to fix the cause of the cracking and repair the cracked mortar joints and broken bricks.

The experience in new construction of these projects is very helpful in being able to repair them safely and properly, and the little details make big differences. Even a change in the gradation of the sand will change the appearance and crushing pressure of the mortar. At Alamo Masonry, we focus on the details. Each projects original mortar is tested and examined so as to get a more perfect match because repairs don't have to look like repairs, and a proper repair should not even be able to be found. We match your mortar's color, crushing pressure, texture, tooling, and the color and gradation of the sand as accurately as possible.

In order to do this, Alamo Masonry Repair developed a testing facility and mobile testing labs for our trucks. Each truck is rigged out with everything needed to test and match mortars, and to produce AMR mortar repair products. AMR Mortars are the only mortars made specifically for repair and repointing mortar joints.

AMR Mortars are the only mortars available that allow you to make smaller volumes of mortar in the various tones and colors needed for any mortar match and are available in any mortar type.
