Masonry services in focus
Tuck pointing & parging.
These services handle two different parts of the exterior: tuck pointing restores the mortar between bricks, while parging renews the visible surface of concrete or masonry foundation walls.
When tuck pointing helps
Cracked, crumbling or washed-out mortar joints are carefully cleared of loose material and repointed. The goal is to restore the joint, support the surrounding brickwork and produce a consistent finished appearance.
When parging helps
Loose, chipped or tired foundation finishes are prepared before damaged areas are patched and a fresh coat is applied. Parging creates a clean, continuous finish around the exposed base of the home.
