Looking for Brick Pointing Services in NYC

Brick homes have a charm all their own, and they impart a feeling of sturdiness and long-lasting durability which gives homeowners confidence that they’ll last for years and years. However, even a brick home is subject to deterioration over time, especially when faced with some of the severe weather situations which occasionally crop up in the New York City metro area. When you have any need for repair work on your brick exterior, your best bet is to call the experts at Native Steps & Retaining Walls, so that we can carry out expert brick pointing on your exterior.

What Exactly is Brick Pointing?

If you’ve never heard the term before, brick pointing consists of all the professional work performed by a brick contractor or specialist to repair or replace the mortar which has been used to connect all the joints between the bricks of your home. Over a period of time, mortar does begin to break down, even if the bricks themselves remain intact and have no issues.

Once this breakdown begins to occur, it can cause a variety of issues, including water leaks which might penetrate to the interior, or erosion of the bricks themselves. By having the mortar joints repaired and restored to their original state, you can avoid all these undesirable consequences, and save yourself a lot of money by avoiding a major repair job.

Mortar Repair & Replacement Services

Brick pointing generally calls for minor repairs and touchup work between joints which have been damaged, often by exposure to weather elements. It is much better to tackle these minor repairs when they are first observed, rather than letting them go for any period of time, and allowing the situation to worsen.

In a worst-case scenario, your exterior could suffer such damage that an entire section needs to be replaced completely, in order to restore your home’s building integrity. Structural integrity is always the primary goal of any work done during brick pointing, and the best way to maintain structural integrity is to address any damage which occurs in the mortar joints at the earliest possible juncture.
