Brick and stone houses are made to withstand even the most powerful of elements. Just ask The Three Little Pigs. Luckily, for Narberth brick and stone homeowners, this fact transcends literature. Houses built using these materials are fire resistant, thermally efficient, and unsusceptible to treacherous Northeastern weather. Through simple maintenance and upkeep, homeowners can ensure their house stands the test of time.
Narberth’s brick and stone houses require repointing, or pointing, in order to maintain their structural integrity. Repointing is the procedure of removing failing mortar and replacing it with new mortar. Mortar, also known simply as a joint, is the material that holds each masonry unit in place. When done properly, repointing can last up to 30 years. Unfortunately, after that period of time the porous material will begin to crumble. These failed joints will begin to crack and swell when water is introduced to the equation. In addition to being physically unattractive, this process can lead to issues with the construction’s stability. For years Narberth residents have turned to Bob Verdes Jr. and Premier Pointing for all brick and stone repointing needs.
Bob, Premier Pointing’s owner, was born into a mason family. His great-grandfather traveled here from Italy at the turn-of-the-century in search of the American Dream.
