Masonry & Tuckpointing, Morris CountyMasonry and Tuckpointing in Morris County, NJ from Your Local Crew
Brick that has stood through Morris County winters for many decades needs its joints renewed before the brick itself starts breaking down. Water that soaks into an open joint freezes and pushes the face of the brick off, a little each winter. Tuckpointing stops that cycle. Our masons grind out failed mortar, repoint with a mix that matches the original in strength and color, replace spalled brick and rebuild chimney tops when the damage runs deep, working on prewar houses and postwar ones alike.

Masonry & Tuckpointing for Morris County Homes
Dover's Blackwell Street Historic District holds 52 contributing buildings on the National Register. Brick of that period was laid with softer mortar, and if your house is in a district the town regulates, chimney work that changes its look can need approval from the local preservation body.
The Luke Miller House on Ridgedale Avenue in Madison, built around 1730, is thought to be the oldest home still standing in the borough. Masonry that old, and the prewar brick on many Madison streets, calls for soft mortar matched to the original, never a hard cement patch.
Our masons repoint chimneys in Madison, Dover, Morristown, Hanover and Denville.
