Wayne and other towns up and down the Main Line are known for their historic stone and brick construction. Some of these houses date all the way back to the 18th century. They have stood the test of time; making it through frigid winters, unbearable summer heat, and everything else mother nature threw their way. One of the few weak points in a stone house is the joints, or mortar, that hold each masonry unit in place. The easiest way to protect these areas from failure is by repointing.
Repointing, or simply pointing, is the process of renewing the mortar that provides brick and stones stability. Over the course of a house’s life, its joints will begin to weaken and crack. These gaps allow for water, snow, and other moisture to seep through. This could lead to an unattractive exterior, and even more crucially an unsound structure.
Premier Pointing, one of Wayne’s best masonry repair contractors, removes all failing mortar before repointing using superior joint materials. When properly done, which for Premier is every time, repointing should last nearly two decades. Homeowners shouldn’t be constantly worrying about their brick or stone house’s stability. Premier Pointing is able to perform all masonry services; from installation to maintenance and repair. Here are just some of the services Premier provides:
• Concave and flat repointing
• Ribbon and rake back repointing
• Quarry cut walkway and step installation
