Masonry & Tuckpointing, Atlantic CountyChimney Tuckpointing and Brickwork in Atlantic County, NJ
Wind-driven rain and salt air wear Atlantic County mortar joints faster than inland weather does. Once a joint opens, water gets into the brick, and on the mainland a cold night can freeze it. Our masons rake out failing joints, repoint with a mortar that suits the brick, replace spalled brick and rebuild loose top courses. On older homes in Absecon and Atlantic City, we take care to match the original brick and mortar so the chimney looks like it belongs on the house.

Masonry & Tuckpointing for Atlantic County Homes
Absecon's National Register listings include the Capt. Francis Babcock House, the John Doughty House and the Dr. Jonathan Pitney House. Masonry on homes of that age should be repointed with mortar matched to the original brick in color and hardness.
Atlantic City's National Register listings include the Absecon Lighthouse and the Northside Institutional Historic District, listed in 2021. If your home is a landmark or in a historic district, ask the local historic preservation body before changing visible chimney masonry.
