Heritage home tuckpointing
"The mortar matching was incredible - you literally cannot tell where the repairs were made. After three failed DIY attempts, this is what professional tuckpointing looks like."
Structural repointing
"They explained the difference between tuckpointing and repointing clearly, and recommended repointing for our structural issues. The work has held up perfectly through two harsh winters."
Exterior wall tuckpointing
"Professional setup, clean work, and the colour matching process was fascinating to watch. They took samples and tested until it was perfect. Worth every penny."
Heritage building restoration
"Fix My Brick handled our century home restoration beautifully. The heritage-appropriate mortar work preserved the historical character while ensuring structural integrity."
Tuckpointing is primarily aesthetic, using colour-matched mortar with contrasting fillets and shallow removal. Repointing is structural repair requiring deep mortar removal and complete joint restoration. Most Ontario homes need repointing for structural integrity, while tuckpointing enhances appearance.
We analyse your existing mortar composition and test colour matches under different lighting conditions. Our process includes sampling original mortar, custom mixing with local aggregates, and creating test patches to ensure seamless colour integration that weathers naturally.
DIY failures typically result from insufficient removal depth (less than 1/2" for structural repairs), wrong mortar type selection, poor colour matching, and improper application techniques. Professional work provides superior longevity while DIY repairs often fail within a few years.
Ontario's climate requires freeze-thaw resistant mortar, salt-resistant materials for road de-icing exposure, and moisture management for Lake Ontario's wind-driven rain. We use climate-appropriate mortar with enhanced durability for these conditions.
Professional tuckpointing provides excellent longevity when properly executed with appropriate materials. Factors affecting durability include mortar type selection, climate exposure, building orientation, and quality of original installation.
Yes, we specialize in heritage building restoration using period-appropriate materials and techniques. We understand Ontario Heritage Act requirements, conservation standards, and traditional lime-based mortars essential for historical building compatibility.
Spring through fall (May-October) provides optimal conditions. We avoid winter application due to freeze potential during curing. Spring application allows full curing before winter, while fall work requires careful weather monitoring to ensure adequate curing time.
Structural repointing requires adequate depth removal for joint integrity. Aesthetic tuckpointing needs less removal depth. Insufficient depth is a primary cause of premature repair failure - we ensure proper removal depth for long-lasting results.
Fix My Brick serves 59+ communities across Ontario, including the Greater Toronto Area, Golden Horseshoe, Waterloo Region, and Southwestern Ontario. From Toronto to London, Hamilton to Kitchener, we provide consistent quality tuckpointing services throughout the province.
Tuckpointing maintains structural integrity by preventing water infiltration that can cause foundation issues and interior damage. Ontario's harsh freeze-thaw cycles make properly sealed mortar joints essential to prevent costly structural damage and energy loss.
Professional tuckpointing with Ontario climate-appropriate materials typically lasts 25-30 years when properly executed. Our work includes freeze-thaw resistant mortar formulations specifically designed for harsh Canadian winters and temperature fluctuations.
