"Olsen Tuckpointing Company did a brilliant job of cleaning & tuckpointing our 91-year-old brick bungalow. We are delighted with the results and highly recommend Olsen if you need any kind of brickwork done. It wasn't a huge job, but with the home being as old as it is, we were concerned about getting it done right. The brick exterior had quite a few old mortar patches and some washed-out sections, and over the years the walls had collected a wide assortment of paint stains, hardware hangers and old screw holes. The textured, tan brick also looked pretty dingy, although we weren't sure how much was the original color and how much might be accumulated dirt. The attached pictures show the after & before of dull brown bricks cleaned to a warm, clean gold. I didn't take closeups of the repairs, but I am impressed by how seamlessly the new work blends in with the older mortar. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and professional, and I have only good things to say about them all. The estimator was able to come out quickly after the initial contact, he did a comprehensive walk-though, and he provided a clear, reasonable, and detailed estimate in a timely fashion--along with an explanation of the whole process from start to finish, so we would know what to expect. The office staff was great about getting things scheduled and making sure we knew when the crews would be showing up, the crews introduced themselves on arrival, and they were all friendly, careful, and incredibly skilled. We are 100% pleased as can be & will certainly be calling Olsen Tuckpointing when next we need any masonry work performed."
Before tuckpointing – note the cracked and missing mortar and stone.

Customers say: Quick response

"I contacted Tony about building a retaining wall in my front yard. Upon receiving my call, Tony was able to schedule an appointment for later that day and gave me a quote within 24 hours. Tony's quote was nearly half of price that competitors gave me. Tony began work literally within the week. He told me he would be at my home at 800 am, and he was there and working by 730 am. He completed the job in three days. On top of completing beautiful work, he was conscientious and respectful of the area surrounding where he was working. He completed a MAJOR construction project at my home, yet there was not a single blade of grass moved out of place. His attention to detail was remarkable. I am incredibly happy with the final result and my experience of working with Tony and AM Masonry. I would encourage you to contact him and work with him for any of your masonry needs."

"Thank you to Anthony and his team. He is right on point from the start he was the 1st professional to call me after prospecting businesses online, he was professional, friendly and truthful in his offering. My chimney cap needed replacement and water proofing on sections of my roof. The job was completed in 2 hours or less. He provided a receipt with itemized descriptions of what iI’ve paid for. 10/10 recommended. In today’s market it’s not easy to find trustworthy professionals. I’m looking forward to doing future business with Anthony."

FAQs for brick or stone tuck pointing projects in Vernon Hills, 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.
