"Our gas fireplace insert was not working consistently. The technicians came and took measurements and gave options for returning to an open wood burning fire or a wood burning insert. They removed the gas insert and from their information, I know I need a wood burning fireplace insert. They also cleaned the fireplace and flue system. Excellent work! I will re-hire them to repair the brickwork, crown and flashing."

"Joe and his team were great. Got this pretty big job done in one day and did a great job of cleaning up. Chimney looks great. It's a big chimney and they replaced around 300 bricks, repaired cement and mortar, and painted the crowns and brought them up to code to prevent this kind of water damage again. Joe was even able to match the bricks exactly. He found them in St. Cloud and drove to get them for me. So, it's a perfect match. Highly recommended. These guys were the best and quickest about getting a quote too, which was no easy task in the summer. Attached image is partially done. Don't have a good picture handy of final product, but you can tell they do solid professional work."

"Great experience working with premier stone concepts we were not sure on what type of stone or color and Terrance gave us a lot of options on what worked for our space. He was very easy to work with answered all our questions and finished when he said he would. We couldn’t be happier with the results. I have recommended him to people I know. Thanks again premier stone!"

"Gael did an awesome job. If we ever need anything done to our chimneys ever again we would hire them. They totally redid one of our chimneys including the upper concrete on top of the chimney. They arrived on time, were very courteous, cleaned up after doing the work and were totally THE BEST!!! Thank you!!"

"He evaluated the work I asked to be performed (based on an inspection completed by a chimney cleaning firm) and indicated that only a portion of the work was actually needed. Russ Olson indicated the chimney was in much better condition than indicated by the chimney cleaning firm. So instead of the $5000 bid by the chimney cleaning firm, Russ Olson charged me only $975 for the needed repairs. I appreciated his ethics, his honesty, his helpfulness, his expertise, his expediency (when the weather became warm enough for the outside work), and his charges."

"Very well, it was a complicated installation with the existing fireplace having to be cut out with a torch and with both natural gas and electric lines run to the fireplace. Everything got done on time and looks exactly as advertised despite the additional subcontractors required to do the job."

"The salesperson was professional and helpful enough, but I was not comfortable with the estimate process, which was all done in the showroom. When I was told that a $200 deposit was required for the in-home "preview" of the fireplace install and another $200 deposit for the stone work 'preview', I decided to get another estimate. The Fireplace Guys provided a free in home estimate and came in about $800 less than $6,500 Fireside estimate for the exact same fireplace and options.

"We hired Nick's Chimney Service & Duct Cleaning to do a full fireplace and chimney cleaning. The team of two guys were great to work with and very clean. There was no dust or ashes left over when they were done. I will be calling them again for the next cleaning and may even use them for a duct cleaning."

FAQs for brick or stone fireplace repair projects in Saint-Paul, MN

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.
