Restoring St. Louis brick by brick.
Tuckpointing
Proper tuckpointing is one of the most important steps in protecting the life of your brick structure. At J&J Masonry, we carefully grind deteriorated mortar joints to a depth of ¾" to 1", removing all loose and damaged material before any new mortar is installed. This ensures a strong bond and long-lasting repair. We custom dye and mix our mortar to closely match the original color, texture, and composition of your existing masonry, including historical mortar specifications when required. Once the joints are filled, each one is tooled by hand to create a clean, uniform appearance while providing a durable, weather-resistant seal that helps keep moisture out and protects your investment for years to come.
Brick Laying
Whether you're restoring a historic building or adding new masonry to your property, J&J Masonry provides professional bricklaying services with unmatched attention to detail. From complete tear-down and rebuild projects to new brick veneers, we deliver quality craftsmanship that enhances both the appearance and structural integrity of your home or commercial building. Our services also include window sill replacement, window and door infills, and precision saw-cutting for new window and door openings. Every project is completed with careful planning and expert craftsmanship to ensure the finished masonry blends naturally with the existing structure.
Carbon Removal
Over time, brick and stone can become stained with carbon buildup, pollution, smoke, and years of environmental exposure, leaving buildings looking dark and worn. Our professional carbon removal process safely restores the natural beauty of your masonry without causing unnecessary damage to the brick or stone. Using specialized cleaning products designed specifically for masonry restoration, we carefully apply the solution and thoroughly rinse the surface to remove years of buildup. Carbon removal is especially effective during major restoration projects and is best completed before new windows are installed, allowing for a cleaner finish and easier access to all masonry surfaces.
