Chimney Repointing & Tuckpointing in New Jersey

Mortar is the weakest part of a brick chimney, and in New Jersey’s freeze-thaw winters it is usually the first thing to fail. Ambassadors Construction provides chimney repointing in New Jersey, replacing worn mortar before water causes bigger damage.

Repointing restores the strength and appearance of the chimney and is far less expensive than a rebuild when done in time.

What Is Chimney Repointing?

Repointing (often called tuckpointing) means grinding out deteriorated mortar to a consistent depth and packing the joints with new mortar, then tooling it to shed water. The bricks stay in place; only the failed mortar is replaced.

Signs Your Chimney Needs Repointing

  • Mortar that is sandy, crumbling or recessed behind the brick face
  • Gaps or cracks along mortar joints
  • Loose bricks near the top of the chimney
  • Water stains or leaks near the chimney inside the home
  • White efflorescence on the brick

Our Repointing Process

  • Inspect and photograph the chimney
  • Grind out failed mortar joints
  • Clean the joints of dust and debris
  • Repack with new mortar matched in color
  • Tool the joints to shed water
  • Recommend crown, cap or waterproofing if needed

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does a chimney need repointing?

Well-done repointing typically lasts many years. Exposed chimneys above the roofline see the most weather and may need attention sooner.

Is repointing the same as tuckpointing?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Both mean replacing failed mortar in the joints between bricks.

Can you match my mortar color?

We match mortar color as closely as possible to your existing chimney.

Repointing or rebuild?

If the bricks are solid and the chimney is straight, repointing is usually enough. Leaning chimneys or widespread broken brick may need rebuilding.
