Serving the Greater St. Louis area, Massey Tuckpointing & Masonry centers every project around one goal: mortar joints that actually protect your brick. We are not here to patch over problems with shortcuts or temporary fixes. Our focus is on creating long term structural integrity through proper joint preparation, correct mortar matching, and meticulous installation. Every wall we restore is treated with attention to detail, ensuring it stands up to weather, moisture, and time without crumbling or leaking.
Tuckpointing restores the structural integrity of brick walls by removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh, properly matched material. Each joint is carefully raked to the correct depth, cleaned, and filled using techniques that ensure strong bonding and long-term durability. The result is masonry that resists water infiltration, prevents further cracking, and maintains its strength through freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal weather changes for years to come.
We examine deteriorating mortar, measure joint depth, and determine the proper raking depth for your brick.
We rake out damaged mortar with a grinder, clean joints thoroughly, and prepare surfaces for new material.
We pack fresh mortar with a trowel, tool joints to match existing profiles, and verify proper curing.
Every decision we make reflects values that were established when this business first started over twenty years ago. You receive straightforward answers about your brick and mortar, clear explanations for every recommendation, and skilled work that protects your investment for the long term. Our approach prioritizes honest communication over rushed sales tactics, ensuring you feel confident and informed throughout the entire project.
Sealed joints prevent rain and moisture from penetrating brick, stopping interior damage before it starts.
Fresh mortar restores the bond between bricks and keeps walls standing straight for decades.
Clean, uniform mortar lines transform weathered brick and give your property a sharp finished look.
Catching crumbling mortar early prevents costly chimney rebuilds, wall replacements, and foundation issues later.
Buyers pay more for homes with sound masonry and no visible signs of deferred maintenance.
Properly matched mortar flexes with freeze cycles and prevents the cracking that destroys old joints.
Tuckpointing requires careful joint depth control, correct mortar matching, and thorough packing to restore structural integrity. Type N or Type O mortar is selected based on brick age and hardness to prevent stress fractures. Clean raking removes deteriorated material without damaging brick edges. Each joint is filled fully, tooled smoothly, and allowed to cure properly for maximum weather resistance and decades of reliable performance.
Every batch is color-matched and formulated to blend with your existing brick without visible patches.
