Frequently Asked Questions

What is tuckpointing, and how do I know if my brickwork needs it?

Tuckpointing (or repointing) is the process of removing damaged, crumbling mortar from between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. If you notice soft or missing mortar, visible gaps between bricks, damp interior walls, or white powdery stains (efflorescence) on the brick surface, your building needs tuckpointing.

Is masonry and brick repair available for both residential homes and commercial buildings?

Yes. M. Spinello & Son provides full-service brick and masonry repairs for single-family homes, multi-family residences, commercial storefronts, industrial facilities, and institutional properties throughout Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.
