Tuckpointing
Over time, weather and moisture can cause the mortar between bricks to weaken, leading to cracks, gaps, and structural issues. Tuckpointing is the process of carefully removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh, precisely matched material to restore both the integrity and appearance of brick structures.

Why Tuckpointing is Essential
When mortar deteriorates, it compromises the stability, insulation, and waterproofing of brick structures. If left untreated, it can lead to costly repairs or even structural failure. Tuckpointing not only reinforces the strength of your masonry but also enhances its curb appeal by giving your brickwork a clean, well-maintained look. At Ramos Masonry, we specialize in professional tuckpointing services that strengthen your masonry while preserving its original charm.
