Masonry & Tuckpointing, Mercer CountyYour Local Masonry and Tuckpointing Team for Mercer County, NJ
Mercer County has masonry from every period, from colonial stone to 1970s brick, and all of it wears at the joints first. Once mortar recedes, water sits in the joint, freezes in the damp winters here and spalls the brick face. Tuckpointing renews the joints before that happens. Our masons remove the old mortar down to sound material, fill the joints with a mix that suits the brick or stone, replace damaged units and rebuild chimney tops that are beyond repointing.

Masonry & Tuckpointing for Mercer County Homes
Princeton's historic districts include Jugtown, around Harrison and Nassau streets, with buildings from colonial times, and the Mountain Avenue district. If a property there is landmarked or locally regulated, visible changes to its chimney can need sign-off from the preservation body, so we match brick and joints closely.
The Lawrence Township Historic District covers the village of Lawrenceville and was added to the National Register in 1972. Older masonry there needs soft, matched mortar, and we repoint by hand so new joints look like the old ones.
Our masons repoint chimneys in Princeton, Lawrence Township, Pennington, Hopewell Township and Trenton.
