Massey Tuckpointing and Masonry: Building St. Louis Brick-By-Brick
St. Louis weather is harsh, unpredictable, and dynamic. The freeze-thaw cycle during the winter and spring can wreak havoc on your St. Louis home or business. The winter can loosen bricks and mortar, or even damage your chimney flue, chimney cap, and chimney crown. Our skilled, trained, and trusted masons have seen it all, and they know how to fix it the right way.
Massey Tuckpointing, the trusted name, and family-owned St. Louis tuckpointing company are ready to help. We shoot you straight. We tell you exactly what you need, and we pride ourselves on transparent pricing, excellent work, and superior service from the first call and after the job is completed. Unlike some fly-by-night operations that don’t take pride in their work, or engage in skimming (the removal of the surface mortar only), leave your home or yard a wreck, we believe there’s only one way to do the work–the right way and without cutting corners. We clean up, respect your privacy and schedule, and try to be as unintrusive as possible.
We’ve been repairing chimneys, stonework, old buildings, new homes, residential, commercial, and everything around. We have thousands of satisfied customers that take the time to leave glowing reviews and even recommend us to family, friends, and neighbors.
Don’t put off your chimney and brick repairs another year, get in gear and give Massey Tuckpointing a call today at (314) 200-9488. Book your FREE estimate and get on our calendar. 
Massey Tuckpointing and Masonry, your trusted St. Louis tuckpointing pros, want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a great Fourth of July. While enjoying fireworks, food, and friends today, take a moment to reflect on how fortunate we all are to live in America. This is a country where anything is possible. We want to thank all our St. Louis customers, employees, and our military. Stay safe and we look forward to speaking to you Friday. 
Small businesses are not only the backbone of the local St. Louis economy, but they’re also part of the global economic fabric. Today, June 27th is a day designated by the United Nations as Micro-, Small, Medium Enterprise Day.
Massey Tuckpointing and Masonry, a WBE-owned, family-owned St. Louis business, is part of the local, regional, national and world’s economic engines. In addition to employing 10 Missourians, Massey Tuckpointing also does business with many outstanding local retailers and service providers. By doing business with local small businesses and hiring locals for the majority of their business needs, they keep money and talent in Missouri and grow the local economy. We are proud of our work, reputation, employees, and contributions as a small enterprise.
Since 2017 and after a declaration from the UN, Micro-, Small and Medium-sized businesses have celebrated this day in recognition of their work in local and global economies. These micro, small, and medium-sized companies generally employ fewer than 250 persons, and are the backbone of economies worldwide and play a key role in developing countries.
According to the United Nations and data furnished by the International Council for Small Business (ICSB), formal and informal Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) comprise over 90% of all firms globally and account on average for 60-70% of total employment and 50% of the world’s GDP.
The UN General Assembly, recognizing the importance of micro-, small and medium businesses, decided in 2017 to declare 27 June the Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Day to raise public awareness of these enterprises’ contributions to sustainable development and local economies around the world.
Massey Tuckpointing and Masonry will continue to deliver superior tuckpointing services to St. Louis and St. Louis Metro customers and businesses. We look forward to contributing to the local, regional, national, and global economies. Please support small businesses whenever possible. Small businesses create jobs and have a great incentive for keeping their money and spending local, too.
Massey Tuckpointing & Masonry, a proud St. Louis company with veteran employees, family members, and friends, want to take a moment to remember the brave men and women that paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect us all. Please take a moment today and remember why we celebrate Memorial Day.
Have You Ever Wondered If Those CSL Logs Work?
Many of our St. Louis tuckpointing and chimney cleaning customers have asked us about the effectiveness of those advertised creosote logs, and their effectiveness in reducing or eliminating dangerous creosote buildup in their chimneys.
The simple answer is, yes. A recognized chimney cleaning industry organization, The Chimney Institute of America, say they do, but there’s more to the story. Sole reliance on a creosote log to clean your chimney thoroughly is not wise. A creosote log is not enough to ensure a safe season of using and enjoying your fireplace. While a creosote log helps remove some creosote, there’s still creosote left behind.
Creosote, as many homeowners already know, is a dangerous sticky, flammable substance that attaches to your chimney’s walls and chimney flue. While creosote chimney logs can help, they’re no substitute for a professional chimney inspection and thorough cleaning. While the log can help dehydrate the creosote and make it fall off easier, only a professional chimney inspection and cleaning can remove creosote to optimum levels.
Creosote is not the only concern when it comes to your St. Louis chimney or fireplace. Animals, debris, bird nests, missing mortar, damaged flue liners, damaged or missing chimney caps, loose bricks, etc. can also lead to dangerous and costly chimney issues if they’re left unchecked.
Don’t take chances with your home or your family’s safety, book a professional chimney inspector and chimney sweep for true peace of mind.
The professional tuck pointers, chimney repair pros, and chimney sweeps at Massey Tuckpointing & Masonry have been serving St. Louis and the St. Louis Metro customers for decades. We know how to make sure your chimney is in optimum condition and working safely.

Winter Is on the Way
It’s that time of the year—a time when the leaves turn beautiful colors, carved pumpkins abound, ghouls and goblins lurk, and there’s a crisp chill hanging in the darkness of night.
It’s time to enjoy the warmth and beautiful light of a crackling fire.
Before you Light My Fire
Before you light that first fire to take the chill off, ask yourself this question: “When was the last time I had my chimney inspected and cleaned?” If you can’t remember, or it’s been a year or more, stop!
There is an average of 25,000 chimney fires in the US every year! Don’t be part of that statistic. Keep your family and home safe from chimney fires by scheduling a chimney inspection and professional cleaning.
Creosote: Dangerous Build Up
With each use of your fireplace, a sticky substance called creosote sticks to the inside of your chimney and chimney flue liner. Each time you use your fireplace, creosote slowly builds up and can increase the possibility of experiencing a dangerous, costly chimney fire.
What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You
Sometimes, chimney fires are subtler and go undetected. They may cause cumulative damage that isn’t typically apparent to the average homeowner. Extreme heat and temperatures of as high as 2,000 degrees can be generated by these fires.
Massey Tuckpointing & Masonry: Providing Peace of Mind
At Massey Tuckpointing, your St. Louis tuckpointing pros, we know what to look for and how to properly and thoroughly inspect your chimney, flue liner, mortar, and other components of your fireplace and chimney system. We also are certified and trained in the art of chimney sweeping and attend continuing education to ensure our chimney sweeps and masons are the best they can be and deliver a superior level of service.
Paying Attention to The Details
Here are some of the things we do during an inspection:
If There’s an Issue, You’ll Know
If our St. Louis chimney inspectors and sweeps find an issue or multiple issues with your flue liner, chimney cap, mortar, damper or any other element of your chimney and fireplace, we’ll find it, document it, and inform you of all issues and needed repairs.
Clean Bill of Health
If our chimney inspection doesn’t reveal any issues, we get busy thoroughly and professionally sweeping your chimney and getting you ready to enjoy your fireplace all season long.
Stay safe and enjoy the warmth of a toasty, cozy and romantic fire.
Massey Tuckpointing, your trusted, family-owned, and trained masons, tuckpointers, and chimney sweep experts are ready to serve you and your tuckpointing needs.
