Restore Strength and Beauty to Your Masonry
Exterior wall repointing is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and aesthetic value of your property. A&A Masonry provides expert repointing services to renew the life of your masonry.
Repointing is the process of renewing the mortar joints between masonry units such as bricks or stones. Over time, mortar joints can deteriorate due to weathering, aging, or structural stresses, necessitating this important maintenance practice.
Masonry repointing preserves the integrity, appearance, and functionality of brick or stone structures. By repairing deteriorated mortar joints, repointing helps prevent water penetration, structural damage, and ensures the longevity of masonry surfaces.
Enhanced Structural Integrity: Repointing restores strength to the mortar joints, improving the overall stability and durability of the structure.
Waterproofing: Properly maintained mortar joints prevent water infiltration, protecting the masonry from internal damage.
Improved Aesthetic Appeal: Repointing revitalizes the appearance of masonry walls, giving them a fresh and well-maintained look.
Increased Property Value: Regular maintenance, including repointing, significantly enhances the market value and curb appeal of a property.
Cost-Effective Maintenance: Timely repointing reduces the need for more extensive repairs, saving homeowners money in the long run.
Repointing: Refers specifically to the process of removing damaged or deteriorated mortar and replacing it with new mortar, primarily for structural and protective purposes.
Tuckpointing: Involves repointing but also adds a decorative element. During tuckpointing, mortar matching the masonry color is applied to mortar joints, followed by a thin line of contrasting mortar, creating an appearance of finely pointed joints. Tuckpointing is often used to enhance visual appeal and create the illusion of precise brickwork.
Hiring a professional masonry contractor ensures:
Expert Craftsmanship: Professional masons precisely match mortar types, colors, and textures, ensuring seamless repairs.
Proper Techniques: Skilled masons remove and replace mortar efficiently without causing damage to existing bricks or stones.
Code Compliance: Contractors adhere to local building codes, ensuring the safety and structural integrity of the project.
Long-Lasting Results: Professionals use quality materials and proven techniques to provide durable, reliable outcomes.
Cost Efficiency: Proper execution of repointing minimizes the likelihood of repeated repairs, ultimately saving homeowners money.
Trusting repointing and other masonry projects to professional masonry contractors ensures a structurally sound, visually appealing, and long-lasting investment in your property.

I live in a 97 year old brick house in West Toronto. Having stripped the paint off the bricks on the back wall of the house, it was clear that the mortar had seen better days. I reached out to A&A. Nigel advised me that the bricks were in good shape, but the mortar on the back wall, the front porch pillar and a few other places would have to be ground out and replaced with new mortar. I agreed to proceed requesting a quick turnaround. Within two weeks, Tera came and did all the grinding in one day until quite late to make sure all the dust (and there was a lot of dust) was washed down. With some assistance from a colleague, Tera got the mortaring done in two additional days. I couldn't be happier with the result or the process. Tera did a great job. My brickwork is restored to it's original glory! Thanks Tera and all at A&A.

From the very start through to the end, we were wowed by the professionalism and expertise of everyone at A&A. Within a day or so of reaching out, Nigel came by on a weekend and promptly provided a very considered and detailed quote. Jonathan and Michael did fantastic work repointing the full front of our house and doing other repairs, and were a pleasure to work with. They clearly cared about the quality of their work and did everything to a very high standard. They were great communicators and always left things very clean at the end of each day. Libby and Joe were also very responsive and helpful throughout. We look forward to working together again soon!
