"Pretty good. Only issue was that we had to go around the house with painters tape to point out the holes that they missed while tuckpointing."
Before tuckpointing – note the cracked and missing mortar and stone.
After tuckpointing is complete.

"My house and garage needed tuck pointing. The men arrive on time and worked straight through until they finished. They asked me to look at their work to make sure everything specified was done. They were courteous, efficient and I highly recommend this company. The cost was reasonable. I have no complaints about this company at all."

"I hired AM Masonry for a small repair job in May 2016. They arrived exactly on time to examine the damage and offer their estimate for the repair. They called exactly when they said they would to schedule the work after finding brick that matches my old house. They arrived exactly on time to begin the work. They finished the work early, and the charges were exactly corresponding to the estimate. The work looks fabulous, and they cleaned up the work site flawlessly. I am super impressed with this company and would use them again without hesitation."

"Daniel and Lou showed up to replace the liner and repair the chimney. They spent an entire day working hard and cleaned up after the job was done. The work done looks solid and good. Would definitely keep them on my list for any future masonry/brick repair jobs."

"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."

FAQs for brick or stone tuck pointing projects in Waukegan, 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.
