Brick and stonework are timeless elements that add character and durability to any home. However, to maintain these features in their best condition, pointing—the process of renewing the external part of mortar joints—is essential. At JLM Masonry, we specialize in brick and stone pointing, ensuring that your home’s masonry is not only visually appealing but also structurally sound. 

Why Pointing is Necessary: 

• Weather Resistance: Mortar joints exposed to rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles can deteriorate over time. Proper pointing keeps these elements out, protecting your home from moisture penetration that could lead to damp issues and structural damage. 

• Aesthetic Appeal: Crumbling, cracked, or missing mortar can detract from your home’s overall appearance. Fresh pointing restores the beauty of your masonry, enhancing your home’s curb appeal and value. 

• Structural Integrity: Pointing reinforces the strength of your masonry walls, supporting the bricks or stones and ensuring the longevity of your structure. 

Why Choose a Professional Mason: 

• Expertise and Precision: Pointing is more than just filling in gaps; it requires an understanding of how different mortars work with various types of brick and stone. Our masons at JLM Masonry have the skills and knowledge to choose the right materials and apply them with precision. 

• Long-term Solutions: We focus on providing a long-lasting fix, not just a cosmetic one. By choosing JLM Masonry, you’re investing in a solution that will protect your home for years to come. 

• Customized Care: Every home is unique, and so are its repair needs. We provide tailored services to match the specific requirements of your home’s architecture and masonry materials.
