Brick Restoration — University City Brick Restoration That Stops Water Damage Before It Spreads
Built for Homeowners Seeking Masonry Work That Protects Their Investment Long Term

Strong Protection

Lasting Structure

Real Durability

Your University City Brick Needs More Than a Quick Look

Mortar crumbling between bricks. Water staining your foundation walls. Cracks spreading across your chimney, letting cold air and moisture seep inside during storms.

The damage compounds faster than most homeowners expect. What starts as a small gap becomes structural stress. Ignored mortar failures lead to interior water damage, lower curb appeal, and repair costs that climb every season you wait.

A Family Team That Restores University City Brick the Right Way

Massey Tuckpointing & Masonry has served the Greater St. Louis area since 2002. Founded by a military veteran with a passion for honest masonry work, the company has grown from a small family operation into a trusted name for both residential and commercial brick restoration.

Austin Massey, CEO, took over daily operations three years ago, continuing the standards his parents set. His brother Alex manages every project. The team handles tuckpointing, chimney repair, driveway sealing, and full masonry restoration. They match original mortar, prep joints properly, and waterproof every surface so it lasts.

Family-owned and punctual, Massey Tuckpointing stands behind every job. Your University City home or business gets the care and attention of a company built on integrity, not scripts.

See How Brick Restoration Transformed These Properties

We had mortar crumbling out of our chimney and water stains spreading inside after every storm. Austin and his crew ground out the old joints, repointed the entire structure, and sealed the crown. Two winters later and zero leaks. The work has held up perfectly and the chimney looks brand new again.

Linh Dinh

Our brick porch had cracks running through three steps and the mortar was soft enough to scrape with a finger. They replaced the damaged brick, tuckpointed every joint, and applied a waterproof sealer. The difference is dramatic and the porch finally feels solid and safe.

How We Build Brick Work That Holds Strong

Mortar Matching

Each mix is calibrated to the original composition so new joints blend with old without stress points.

Full Joint Prep

Old mortar is ground to proper depth and cleaned before new material goes in for a lasting bond.

Weather Protection

Brick surfaces are sealed to repel water while letting vapor escape so freeze-thaw cycles cause no damage.

Clean Tool Work

Every tuckpoint line is struck smooth and tight to resist moisture intrusion for decades ahead.

Chimney Detailing

Flashing and crown coats are positioned correctly so water never pools on vulnerable horizontal surfaces.

Long-Term Durability

Restored masonry stands firm through winter storms and summer heat because materials and execution align.
