1. What is brick pointing and why is it important?

Brick pointing involves removing old or damaged mortar between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. This process prevents water from seeping in, which can lead to interior leaks, mold, or structural damage. In NYC’s climate, timely pointing helps extend the lifespan of brick façades.

2. How do I know if my building needs brick repointing or repair?

If you notice crumbling mortar, loose bricks, or water stains inside your property, it's time to have a professional inspection. NYC buildings, especially older ones, often need repointing every 20–30 years depending on exposure and material quality.

3. Are you licensed brick contractors in NYC?
