Tuckpointing & Mortar Repair in Charleston

Mortar joints deteriorate over time due to weather exposure, moisture and age. Eroded mortar allows water into the masonry, which can damage brick, stone and the structure behind it.

Louis Masonry performs tuckpointing — the process of removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar — to restore the integrity and appearance of masonry walls.
