How our crew repoints a chimney in Falcon Trace
Our masons explain these three parts of the job in Falcon Trace before any joint is raked out.
Hand chisels for the careful parts
Preservation Brief 2 describes hand chisels and mash hammers as the traditional way to remove mortar, and says that, though labor-intensive, it usually poses the least threat of damage and gives a better finished job.
Our masons in Falcon Trace rely on hand tools wherever the brick is soft, the joints are thin or the edges are already worn. It takes more time on the roof, and the result is joints that are clean and bricks that keep their edges. It is the approach that respects the brick, which is the part of the chimney you want to keep.
Brushing at the right moment
Timing matters for cleanup too. Preservation Brief 2 describes brushing off excess mortar after it has dried but before it has set, and removing any hardened bits later with a wooden paddle or, if needed, a chisel.
Our masons in Falcon Trace brush each area as it reaches that point, which keeps the brick faces clean without disturbing the fresh joints. It means little or no chemical cleaning is needed at the end of the job. Brushing too early smears the joints, and brushing too late means scraping, so timing matters.
Upfront pricing and no hidden fees
Joint work can reveal surprises, such as mortar that is soft deeper than expected or a loose brick behind a sound-looking joint. A fair price explains in advance how those are handled.
For your Falcon Trace chimney, the agreed repointing area is priced in writing before work starts. If raking uncovers something outside that scope, we stop, show you and give you a written price before going further. That is our upfront pricing, and it is why there are no hidden fees. You approve every change before it happens.

What Falcon Trace homeowners ask about chimney mortar
Straight answers from our Falcon Trace specialists, with no pressure to book.
Will the new mortar match the old joints?
We match the sand, color and joint profile and check samples against the old mortar both wet and dry. New joints usually look slightly different at first, and the difference softens as they weather.
What mortar do you use for repointing?
It depends on the brick and the existing mortar. Industry guidance calls for repointing mortar no stronger than the original, so many modern chimneys get Type N and softer brick gets a weaker mix. The type is named in your Falcon Trace estimate.
