"The stone work on the front of our home is 13 years old and the mortar had started to disintegrate significantly in some places but not others. Tuckpointing was needed. This is at the entrance to our home so we wanted to ensure it matched and would be seamless with the existing. We are very happy with the completed work; the work quality and the color matching is very good. Olsen was very responsive and professional on our project. We would use them again. + Scheduling for estimate and receiving/returning related quote was easy and quick. + Scheduling for work itself was also easy. Given weather conditions on our appointed work date, the work had to be rescheduled for a couple days later to ensure quality/curing. + Worker arrived on time and completed the project; very self sufficient. When completed, he rang the doorbell to let us know he was finished, advised the color would look a bit off bc it needed to dry/cure, and that someone would return in a few days to clean the surface. + During that time, we noticed 2 small spots were overlooked. We contacted Olsen and they completed those 2 spots and cleaned the surface on the same day. Looks great!"
Before tuckpointing – note the cracked and missing mortar and stone.

"I am so glad I had them do the work. When the job was first reviewed, the chimney was the first to be pointed out. I knew it didn't look great but never realized how bad it really was. I also showed him the front of the house and was told that would not be a problem at all. Any question I asked was answered and explained. They definitely knew what they were doing. I could also tell they were perfectionists about their work by the way they handled it. They also fixed another side of the house after I asked if they would be able to add that. It was no problem. They worked very hard during the horrible heat wave we are having. I definitely highly recommend them!!"

"It was a pleasure working with Rob. I wasn't sure if my chimney needed entirely rebuilt or just tuck-pointed. I had another company quote my work and they provided me a cost to entirely rebuild it. Rob came and looked at the chimney and gave me a cost just to repair it. His cost was 7x cheaper. I trusted his 30+ years in the industry and went with Fire It Up. I'm happy i chose them. Saved me a lot of money and the chimney looks great."

"We were very pleased with the work of Derrek H. and the A-1 crew. He was prompt, professional, and took the time to carefully explain the problem and the possible options that would address our situation. A-1 was also careful to ensure that the project was completed in a timely manner without fear of any ash or dirt from the fireplace being left in the area. Most importantly, we were very comfortable with the service being completed as needed and at a reasonable cost. We will continue to utilize A-1 in the future based on Derrek's thoroughness and professionalism."

"We are totally satisfied with the professionalism, skill, work ethic and overall attention to detail provided by Hector Martinez and his extremely capable crew. This is a contractor you can trust. They completed the job timely once they had started. Prices are fair. Our emphasis was on the quality of the materials and workmanship rather than the cheapest contractor we could find, as value is important to us. We feel this concrete will endure for many years to come. We plan to hire Hector again for additional masonry projects."

FAQs for brick or stone tuck pointing projects in Crystal Lake, IL

Masons charge between $70 and $110 per hour. A mason may have a minimum service fee ranging from $80 to $300. Most bricklayers offer free estimates and charge only if you proceed with the project. This clear pricing model assures that professionals inspect your property before beginning work and charge based on your project’s actual requirements.

A professional repointing lasts 20 to 30 years without maintenance and extends up to 50 years when maintained diligently. This process protects your brickwork using high-quality materials that ensure lasting performance and durability. Consistent upkeep preserves its strength and appearance, providing enduring protection and enhancing your home’s overall structural integrity for decades.

You know your house needs repointing when you notice clear signs such as cracked, flaking, or missing mortar and visible discoloration on the brick surfaces. Additional indicators include loose bricks, water damage, and gaps between the brick joints that compromise the overall integrity of the structure. Addressing these issues promptly protects your investment and sustains the durability and curb appeal of your home.

A house needs repointing to preserve both its structural integrity and visual appeal. Mortar acts as a vital bonding agent that holds the bricks securely together. When the mortar deteriorates, it exposes the structure to water infiltration and further decay, increasing the risk of costly repairs. Repointing stops decay and reinforces the exterior, ensuring long-term protection.
