Common Questions About Brickwork Services

Brick pointing refers to the initial process of filling the mortar joints between bricks during construction. Repointing, however, is the restoration of deteriorated mortar joints in existing brickwork. Repointing improves the structural stability and appearance of old brick walls. Learn more on our Brick Repointing NYC service page.

A well-done brick pointing job in NYC can last between 25 to 30 years depending on the quality of the materials and the exposure to elements. However, buildings facing harsh weather, heavy rain, or pollution may require repointing sooner to maintain integrity.

A parapet wall is an extension of the wall at the edge of a roof, balcony, or terrace. It's essential for structural safety and often required by NYC building codes. Damage or loose bricks in parapet walls can lead to water intrusion or falling hazards. Learn more on our Parapet Wall Restoration NYC page.
