Masonry Contractor serving Millwood, WA

The mortar joints in your brick walls do more than hold bricks together. They create a weather barrier that keeps moisture out and prevents damage to the structure behind the brick. In Millwood's older homes, mortar can deteriorate over decades of freeze-thaw cycles, leaving gaps where water can penetrate. If you notice crumbling mortar, cracks, or sections where the mortar has pulled away from the brick, it's time to schedule tuckpointing.

Tuckpointing involves removing old, damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh material that matches the strength and appearance of the original. We carefully grind out the failing joints without damaging the surrounding brick, then fill them with a mortar mix that's appropriate for your home's age and construction. The result is a restored wall that looks clean, functions properly, and will last for decades to come.

Many Millwood homeowners wait too long to address mortar issues because they don't realize how important this maintenance is. By the time large sections of mortar are missing, water has often caused hidden damage to the wall structure. Catching these problems early saves money and protects your investment. We offer free inspections so you can see exactly what condition your mortar is in and what repairs are needed. Call us today to learn more about tuckpointing and repointing services for your Millwood home.

Many of Millwood's older homes have brick chimneys that have been standing for decades. These structures take a beating from weather, temperature extremes, and constant exposure to smoke and moisture. Over time, the mortar deteriorates, bricks crack, and the chimney crown can develop damage that lets water seep inside. If you notice pieces of brick or mortar on your roof, a leaning chimney, or water stains inside near the fireplace, it's time for an inspection.

We handle everything from minor chimney repairs to complete rebuilds. Sometimes tuckpointing and crown repair are enough to restore structural integrity. Other times, the chimney needs to be taken down to the roofline and rebuilt with new materials. We'll assess your chimney's condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution that keeps your home safe and your fireplace functional.
