What needs fixing?

Cracked or damaged bricks

Bricks that are cracked, chipped or breaking apart need a closer look. Skyline can assess the affected area and discuss brick repair or replacement.

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.

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.

What should I provide for an estimate?

Share your general location, where the damaged bricks are and what you've noticed. Photos of the affected area and a wider view of the wall can help explain the problem.
