Historic Mortar Restoration for La Grange's Brick Neighborhoods
Why La Grange Homeowners Choose Expert Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing is one of the most important maintenance investments a La Grange homeowner can make. The mortar joints between your bricks are the first line of defense against water infiltration, and in a community where many homes are 70–100 years old, those joints are under significant stress. Proper repointing helps extend the service life of the wall assembly and prevents the far more expensive repairs that follow when water gets in.
La Grange's historic neighborhoods, particularly the blocks surrounding the historic train station and the Cossitt Avenue area, feature original lime-mortar masonry that requires specialist care. Previous tuckpointing performed with mortar that is too hard for historic brick can cause new damage rather than prevent it.
