Masonry & Tuckpointing, Passaic CountyYour Local Masonry and Tuckpointing Service in Passaic County, NJ
Passaic County masonry runs from Dutch-era stone to the brick of the old mill cities. Those chimneys need mortar that suits their age. A hard modern mix can be stronger than old brick or stone, and when the wall moves with frost, the masonry cracks instead of the joint. Our local crew grinds out failed mortar, repoints with a mix matched to the original and rebuilds loose courses where needed, so the chimney sheds water and stays solid through the winters.

Masonry & Tuckpointing for Passaic County Homes
Paterson's Eastside Park Historic District holds about 1,000 homes in Tudor, Georgian colonial, Victorian, Italianate and Dutch colonial styles. If a house there carries local designation, the municipal preservation board may have to sign off on visible chimney work, so ask before booking the job.
Little Falls was first settled by Dutch farmers in 1711, and the Speer Homestead dates from about 1785. Old stone and brick of that era needs a soft mortar that lets moisture escape through the joints rather than through the masonry.
Masonry work takes us to Paterson, Little Falls, Passaic, Clifton and Hawthorne.
