Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my masonry needs repair?

Cracked brick or block, deteriorated mortar, loose masonry, displaced stones, and visible chimney deterioration are all reasons to have the area evaluated. If the problem is growing or allowing moisture into the structure, it is especially worth addressing.

What is the difference between masonry repair and tuckpointing?

Masonry repair is a broad term covering work on brick, stone, block, mortar, and related masonry problems. Tuckpointing specifically focuses on repairing deteriorated mortar joints, generally where the surrounding masonry is still suitable for repair.

How much does masonry repair cost in Manitowoc County?

There is no single price because the cost depends on the material, amount of damage, accessibility, and repair method. A small localized repair can be very different from extensive wall or chimney work, so a project-specific assessment is needed for an accurate price.

Can you repair old brick masonry?

Older brick can often be repaired, but the condition of both the brick and mortar matters. The repair approach should take the existing masonry into account rather than automatically treating older brick like new construction.

Should cracked chimney masonry be repaired?

Cracked or deteriorated chimney masonry deserves attention because ongoing weather exposure can worsen the condition. Masonry repair can address damaged brick and mortar, although other chimney components may require a qualified chimney professional when the issue extends beyond masonry.

Can you repair a small section of a block wall?

Often, yes. The extent of the repair depends on why the block is damaged and the condition of the surrounding wall, but localized block repairs may be possible when the broader masonry remains sound.

Do you serve towns outside Two Rivers?

Yes. Masonry Repair Two Rivers serves Two Rivers as well as Manitowoc, Mishicot, Cleveland, Reedsville, Denmark, Kewaunee, and surrounding communities. If your town is nearby but not listed, contact us to ask about service availability.

What should I do if I see deteriorating mortar?

Avoid simply covering the joint with a surface patch before understanding why the mortar is failing. Tuckpointing or another masonry repair may be appropriate when the surrounding brick or masonry is sound.
