Inside a chimney repointing job in Engelwood Park
Worth reading before you approve joint work in Engelwood Park.
Prehydrated mortar shrinks less
Technical Note 46 recommends prehydrating repointing mortar to reduce shrinkage. The dry ingredients are mixed, dampened just enough to hold a ball shape and left to stand before the rest of the water is added.
It is a small extra step that our crew takes on every repointing job in Engelwood Park. Less shrinkage means fewer hairline gaps at the edges of the new joints, which is exactly where water would otherwise find its way back in. It also makes the mortar easier to pack firmly, which helps the joint fill completely.
When joint loss calls for a rebuild
Repointing works when the bricks are still firmly set and the wall is sound. When mortar has failed through the full depth across whole courses, the bricks may no longer be tied together, and new joints at the face cannot fix that.
Our crew in Engelwood Park checks for this before recommending tuckpointing. If a section has gone that far, the estimate shows a partial rebuild for that part and repointing for the sound remainder, with the reasons written out. Keeping those two jobs apart means you pay rebuild prices only for the section that needs it.
A workmanship warranty on the new joints
The joints we repoint are backed by our workmanship warranty. It covers the mortar work we performed in the areas listed on your estimate.
The terms are written into your Engelwood Park paperwork together with the areas repointed and the mortar used. Keep them with your house records. If anything about the new joints looks wrong, call and describe it, and we will come and look. The warranty terms are the same whether we repoint one face or the whole chimney, and they are explained in plain language before you sign.

Tuckpointing questions from Engelwood Park
Deciding on joint work? The inspection in Engelwood Park is free.
Can a painted chimney be repointed?
Yes. The failed mortar is removed through the paint and the joints are repointed, leaving the new mortar unpainted at first. We explain how long to wait before any repainting.
Can you match an unusual mortar color?
Usually. We adjust the sand and add metallic oxide pigments in small amounts, testing samples wet and dry until the color fits. A small sample area can be repointed for your approval first.
