Brick masonry is designed to last a century, but the mortar joints are the sacrificial lamb of the system. Once mortar cracks or recedes, liquid water enters the wall, leading to structural instability and the eventual collapse of chimneys and facades. In the Capital Region, using the wrong mortar is a death sentence for historic brick; if the new mortar is harder than the original brick, the brick will fail first.

At Point Precision Masonry, we utilize a precision-focused repointing process. We carefully remove failing, "dead" mortar to a uniform depth before professionally injecting new, compatible mortar into the joints. This creates a waterproof seal that allows the structure to breathe, halting moisture penetration and preventing the costly deterioration of your home’s exterior. Whether it’s a historic chimney in Troy or a residential facade in Saratoga, we restore the bond that holds your home together.
