Help with damaged bricks and worn joints
What needs fixing?
Sections of brick wall
When damage extends across part of a wall, the repair may involve replacing a section of brickwork. See the Grosse Pointe Woods project below for an example.
Tuckpointing & repointing
Gaps and crumbling mortar between bricks may need joint repair. Often called tuckpointing or repointing, this work addresses worn mortar. Skyline can assess whether your wall needs joint repair, brick replacement or both.
Mortar-joint repair
Tuckpointing & repointing
Gaps and crumbling mortar between bricks may need joint repair. Often called tuckpointing or repointing, this work addresses worn mortar. Skyline can assess whether your wall needs joint repair, brick replacement or both.
What to look for
Look for gaps, cracks or crumbling mortar in the joints between bricks. Note where you see missing mortar and whether nearby bricks are also cracked, chipped or breaking apart.
Joint repair or brick replacement?
Worn mortar joints may call for joint repair. Damaged bricks may need replacement, and some areas may need both. The condition of the surrounding wall helps determine the repair; Skyline will assess the area before discussing options.

Questions about brick repair
Can you replace individual damaged bricks?
Skyline offers brick repair and replacement. The condition of the surrounding bricks and mortar helps determine whether the repair can be limited to individual bricks or needs to cover a larger area.
Do I need brick replacement or tuckpointing?
Brick replacement addresses damaged bricks. Tuckpointing addresses worn mortar joints between them. Describe what you see so Skyline can assess which work is appropriate.
Will the repaired area match my wall?
Ask Skyline about the appearance of the replacement bricks and mortar before work begins. On the painted house shown above, the repaired areas were repainted to match. The options for your home depend on its existing brick and finish.
