Common Questions About Brickwork Services

Repointing, however, is the restoration of deteriorated mortar joints in existing brickwork. Repointing improves the structural stability and appearance of old brick walls.

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.
