"Christian and the entire team at natural Stone kitchen and Bath where a joy to work with. I had tons of questions and they had all of the answers. They were helpful and made me feel comfortable every single step of the way. They were more focused on my satisfaction than they were on the actual sale of the product. They came out and templated our kitchen and the granite fit flawlessly. It is like having a totally new kitchen. I would recommend their services to anyone. What I have discovered through the process is the price of granite is pretty much the same everywhere you go. The difference is the quality and professionalism of the customer service that you receive from the people you work with and given another chance I wouldn’t work with any other company. If you’re reading this do not waste your time and simply do business with this company you will not be disappointed. Thanks for making our Kitchen & Home feel Brand New!!"

"We had to get our plumber to re-route our gas line, but they installed the unit itself. They were prompt, friendly, clean and successful. We are very happy with our new fireplace, especially on cold nights!

"The crew arrived on time and did a thorough job. The reason this rating isn't higher is because the crew chief had been in my house no more than 10 minutes before diagnosing what he said was a dangerous level of creosote in our chimney and recommending installation of a $1,000+ chimney liner, which his company would of course be happy to sell us. I said no, thanks. The next year I hired another service - Emener ([*** Link removed ***] - which told me that the chimney was actually in good shape and pretty clean considering how much we use the fireplace. 5 Star clearly used its promotional offer as a way to upsell an expensive add-on that I am now convinced wasn't needed. Beware of deals that look too good to be true."

"The crew worked hard all day to take down my old deteriorating chimney and rebuild a new one, making sure to match the new
bricks with the color of my old ones.  I couldn't have asked for a more polite professional crew. They were great to work with.
They also put a new cap on.  Mr Jameson always responded quickly to any phone calls."

"Excellent service. Vinny is very honest and knowledgeable about his industry. He spent time to explain every detail about what he was working on and made sure I clearly understood what needed repair and why. He was very thorough and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done correctly. I would highly recommend Safety First for any chimney/fireplace/masonry repair or restoration project you may have. They provide high quality work with great service at a very fair price."

"I have a wood-burning fireplace that I don’t use to burn wood. I have an electric insert instead. But the flue would not stay closed. Last winter was very very drafty in my living room. I reached in and tried to fix it myself but did not have the tools or the ability but the gentleman from Fixed and Fair had both. He was here just a short time and did not charge me anything. I would recommend this company highly. (But would like to suggest they put their address on their business cards. I had to look it up on Google to enter this review above!)"

"The service was fine. The only thing is that they were really late coming. So, it was like dark when they got out of here. They left the area good when they were finished. It took them an hour-and-a-half to complete the job. They sent me a picture of the chimney. The price was great. They did show up."

"Initially, was going to only replace the central air unit, but made the decision to replace it and the furnace. From the time Todd and Kalvin came to house until the job was completed and constant follow up, I would recommend this firm to everyone. They provide excellent customer service and explained in detail any and all issues. Honestly, if you need work done in your home, call. You will glad you did."

FAQs for brick or stone fireplace repair projects in Howell, NJ

Tuckpointing an 8-by-8-foot brick wall section costs between $300 and $1,600, with variations based on mortar condition and accessibility. Walls with intricate brickwork patterns or severely deteriorated mortar tend toward the higher end of this range. Ground-level walls with minimal damage cost less than elevated surfaces or those requiring extensive preparation.

The cost reflects the labor-intensive nature of properly removing damaged mortar without harming surrounding bricks, plus the skilled craftsmanship needed to apply new material correctly. Professional tuckpointing requires specialized tools, material knowledge, and precise application techniques. The investment provides significant value by preventing water damage that could lead to extensive structural repairs costing many times more than preventative maintenance.

To estimate tuckpointing expenses, multiply the area's square footage by the appropriate rate ($5 to $25 per square foot) based on project complexity. Add adjustments for factors like height requirements, accessibility challenges, or specialized materials. For chimney work or other difficult-to-access areas, expect rates toward the upper end of the range. Professional assessments provide the most accurate projections for your specific situation.

While technically possible for small areas, DIY tuckpointing presents significant challenges, including proper mortar removal without brick damage, achieving a consistent joint appearance, and ensuring structural integrity. The process requires specialized tools and materials along with physical dexterity. Professional masons bring experience in identifying underlying issues that might not be apparent to untrained observers. Complex or structurally significant areas should always be entrusted to qualified professionals.

The frequency of tuckpointing depends on environmental exposure, original masonry installation quality, and local climate conditions. Regular inspections, particularly of chimneys and weather-exposed walls, help identify deterioration before it becomes severe. Addressing small areas of deterioration promptly can extend the life of the overall masonry system and prevent more extensive repairs in the future.

While both processes replace deteriorated mortar, tuckpointing involves additional aesthetic enhancement. Repointing simply restores structural integrity by replacing damaged mortar with new material. Tuckpointing adds a decorative element by creating contrasting lines that give the appearance of precision joints. This additional craftsmanship explains why repointing costs $3 to $15 per square foot while tuckpointing ranges from $5 to $25 per square foot.
