- Clean • Safe • Reliable • Done Right
Failing mortar joints are the silent killer of chimneys. We restore them with proper repointing – removing damaged mortar and replacing it with the right mix for your brick and your climate.
A full chimney rebuild can cost ten times what proper repointing costs. And in most cases, repointing every 25–40 years is all that’s needed to keep a chimney structurally sound for a hundred-plus years.
Putting it off doesn’t save money – it lets water enter the joints, damage the brick faces, and eventually compromise the structure itself. Repointing on time is the single best preventive investment you can make in masonry that’s still in decent shape. After that point, you’re looking at repairs or rebuilds that cost dramatically more.
We treat your home like our own – careful, clean, and respectful, especially around kids, seniors, and pets.
Fully credentialed technicians on every job.

Slow, careful work that pays off for decades. Here’s exactly what we do.
We inspect every mortar joint, mark which need work, and quote the scope.
Damaged mortar is carefully ground out to the proper depth without harming the brick.
Fresh mortar matched to your original mix is applied joint by joint, properly tooled to match the existing profile.
Mortar cures fully, then we can optionally apply breathable waterproofing for added protection.

Repointing is the process of scraping out damaged, crumbling mortar from between the bricks and replacing it with fresh, durable mortar.
If you see gaps between the bricks, loose pieces of mortar on your roof, or white powdery stains (efflorescence) on the brickwork.
Yes, significantly. Repointing fixes the mortar before the bricks loosen, saving you thousands of dollars by preventing a full collapse.
Chimney repointing grinds out failed, crumbling mortar joints and repacks them with fresh mortar to seal the masonry against water and restore the structure — for homes across Greater Boston. Call (781) 782-8727.
