MASONRY & TUCKPOINTING REPAIR

Tuck pointing is the expertise of repairing damaged mortar within any masonry building. If you have a structure where the mortar is coming loose and decaying, Warnecke Building Restoration Inc. has the expertise to repair it completely, safely, and cleanly.


At Warnecke Building Restoration Inc., we emphasize the importance of mortar removal by utilizing the proper tools and grinding methods to achieve sufficient depth for the new mortar that is to be applied. We utilize a dust collection system during the mortar removal process to minimize as much dust as possible. This will keep the job site cleaner and provide a safer working environment for our workers and the public.
