Tuckpointing & Restoration
Profressional Tuckpointing & Masonry Restoration in Thunder Bay
Brick and stone can last a century, but the mortar between them can’t. Over time the joints crack, crumble, and start letting water in, and once that begins the damage spreads quietly until it’s a much bigger job. Repointing stops it. Thunder Bay Masonry Pros will restore aging brick and stone across the region and bring tired walls back to sound condition.
This is precise work. We rake out the failed mortar and replace it with a mix matched to the original, so the repair blends into the wall instead of standing out. Done well, you can’t tell where the old joints end and the new ones begin.

Why Restoration Pays Off
Restoring a wall almost always costs a fraction of rebuilding it. A chimney, wall, or facade caught early can be saved with repointing; left too long, the same structure has to come down and go back up. Staying ahead of it is the cheaper move every time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tuckpointing cost?
It depends on how much needs doing, the height of the wall, and how easy it is to reach. We give a detailed estimate after seeing the work.
How long does repointed mortar last?
Done properly, 25 to 30 years before it needs attention again. Regular upkeep and quick repairs stretch that out.
Can you match the mortar color on my old brick?
Yes. We test and match the colour to the original, and getting that right is what makes the repair disappear into the wall.
Is tuckpointing just cosmetic or does it actually protect the wall?
Both. Failed joints let water in and damage what’s behind them, so done right, the work protects the structure and improves the look.
