Brick and stone houses scatter Aston Township and its surrounding areas. Houses built using these materials are recognized for their strength and durability. After all, many of these structures have survived more than a century with minimal amount of upkeep. Repointing, pointing up, or simply pointing, is one of the few things Aston’s brick and stone homeowners must concern themselves with.
The process of repointing is quite simple, at least in theory. Brick and stone structures are built using mortar, or joints. Mortar is the adhesive that keeps each masonry unit in place and provides the structure necessary to withstand the elements. Regrettably, as the house ages, its mortar begins to weaken. Gaps within joints can lead to swelling and cracking if water or other moisture finds its way through. Repointing is replacing the failing mortar with new material. Premier Pointing has grown to be Aston’s go-to contractor for all brick and stone repointing.
