“Welcome. We’re glad you found us. I’m Austin Massey, the CEO of Massey Tuckpointing and Masonry. Our family business started in 2002, founded by my parents, Ryan and Michelle, and was built on a commitment to delivering exceptional tuckpointing, masonry and chimney services. My father, a military veteran, transitioned into the masonry industry after leaving the service, and paid his dues working and learning from others. After years of working for others, my dad decided to strike out on his own, and Massey Tuckpointing and Masonry was born. For over 20 years, we’ve built a rock-solid reputation based on our commitment to delivering the best tuckpointing and masonry work, with the highest commitment to superior workmanship, customer service and communications.”
“Today, I lead the company with the same dedication to superior workmanship, five-star service, and transparent, honest, business practices that my parents instilled in me.

“Massey did some pointing for us on our 100+ year old house. They took the time to go over every part of the quotation, making sure we were getting exactly what we needed. The quality of the work was excellent and the crew was very considerate to us and our neighbors about noise and dust. Very thorough and professional.”

“Massey just finished tuckpointing the front of our house yesterday. This is the second time we hired them. (They did a side of the house last year to address water issues we were having - and did an amazing job!) I can't say enough how great their work and customer service is. They left the worksite clean each day. We were given a heads up when they'd be out (due to rain they couldn't come out everyday), and they met with me after the job was finished to ensure I was good with everything. The workers are so professional and hard working. Hire Massey! They are the best!”

FAQ
What is tuckpointing, and why is it important for my property?
Tuckpointing is the process of removing deteriorated or damaged mortar joints from brick structures and replacing them with fresh mortar to restore strength and stability. This technique not only repairs mortar joints but also enhances the appearance of your brick wall by seamlessly blending new mortar with old mortar. Tuckpointing is essential for maintaining the integrity of your brickwork, preventing water damage, and preserving the aesthetic charm of your property. Proper tuckpointing, completed with the right tuckpointing tools, materials, and workmanship, ensures your home or business remains structurally sound and visually appealing.
How do you repair mortar joints during tuckpointing?
Repairing mortar joints involves carefully removing the old mortar using specialized tools like an angle grinder. Once the damaged mortar joints are cleared, fresh mortar is applied to fill the gaps. The process includes filling mortar joints evenly and shaping them for a smooth, cohesive finish. Using new mortar that matches the original in color and texture is critical for achieving a flawless appearance. This method not only repairs mortar joints but also reinforces the brick wall, protecting it from water infiltration and extending its lifespan. Some less professional companies do what’s called “skimming.” Instead of removing the crumbling mortar, they slap on some mortar and coverup the deterioration. Massey never cuts corners. There’s no right way to do a bad job.
Can tuckpointing be used to restore brick structures beyond walls?
Yes, tuckpointing is a versatile technique used to restore various brick structures, including chimneys, parapet walls, and foundations. The process involves removing wet mortar or deteriorated horizontal joints, replacing them with solid mortar to strengthen the structure. By addressing weak points in brick structures, tuckpointing enhances both their stability and aesthetic appeal. Whether you’re repairing a brick wall or revitalizing an older chimney, our expert tuckpointing services ensure lasting results.
What tools and materials are used for tuckpointing projects?
Tuckpointing requires precision tools and high-quality materials to achieve professional results. An angle grinder is commonly used to remove old mortar and prepare the mortar joints for repair. A tuckpointing tool is then employed to apply fresh mortar accurately and smoothly. We use durable, color-matched new mortar to ensure a seamless blend and uniformity with your existing brickwork. These materials and tools help us restore your brick wall or other structures with precision and long-lasting durability.
How does tuckpointing protect my property from water damage?
Tuckpointing is a crucial step in safeguarding your property from water infiltration. Cracked or deteriorated mortar joints allow water to seep into brick walls and other brick structures, leading to significant damage over time. By removing old mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar, tuckpointing creates a solid mortar barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating. Additionally, repairing horizontal joints and filling mortar joints thoroughly ensures your masonry remains watertight and resistant to weathering. This not only protects your property but also prolongs the life of your brickwork.
What causes mortar deterioration, and how can it be prevented?
Mortar deterioration occurs over time due to exposure to weather, moisture, and the freeze-thaw cycles, which weaken mortar lines and lead to cracks or crumbling. To address this, we remove damaged areas and use high-quality materials, including lime putty, to apply fresh mortar with precise mortar pigment matching the original for a seamless appearance. Proper techniques also ensure there is no excess mortar left behind, which can compromise the final look and functionality of the brickwork. Regular maintenance and tuckpointing are essential for preventing further deterioration and preserving the strength and beauty of your masonry.
