At Olsen Tuckpointing Company, we are proud to have more than 55 years of experience in providing high quality tuckpointing services with exceptional results to all of our clients in the Chicagoland area. Because tuckpointing is typically done on an as-needed basis (sometimes only a portion of a wall of a chimney will need repair), it is critical to:

  • Match the preexisting mortar color and joint style
  • Match any brick or stone needing replacement
  • Remove or grind out all deteriorated mortar to a sufficient depth, typically about 1/2 inch or 1 inch deep

Tuckpointing is the process of removing old, deteriorated mortar from between bricks, stone, or block and replacing it with new mortar. In some cases, individual bricks or stones are damaged or cracked and are replaced. Tuckpointing can also function to prevent leaking or additional damage to the bricks. Additional masonry restoration services include: brickwork, brick staining, brick patching or restoration cleaning.

For most of our clients, mortar joints and bricks can crack as a result of:

  • Normal wear-and-tear
  • Freezing and thawing conditions found in Illinois
  • Settling of the structure
  • Constant weather exposure

Olsen Tuckpointing Company did a brilliant job of cleaning & tuckpointing our 91-year-old brick bungalow. We are delighted with the results and highly recommend Olsen if you need any kind of brickwork done. It wasn't a huge job, but with the home being as old as it is, we were concerned about getting it done right. The brick exterior had quite a few old mortar patches and some washed-out sections, and over the years the walls had collected a wide assortment of paint stains, hardware hangers and old screw holes. The textured, tan brick also looked pretty dingy, although we weren't sure how much was the original color and how much might be accumulated dirt. The dull brown bricks cleaned to a warm, clean gold, and we were really impressed by how seamlessly the new repair work blends in with the older mortar. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and professional, and I have only good things to say about them all. The estimator was able to come out quickly after the initial contact, he did a comprehensive walk-though, and he provided a clear, reasonable, and detailed estimate in a timely fashion--along with an explanation of the whole process from start to finish, so we would know what to expect. The office staff was great about getting things scheduled and making sure we knew when the crews would be showing up, the crews introduced themselves on arrival, and they were all friendly, careful, and incredibly skilled. We are 100% pleased as can be & will certainly be calling Olsen Tuckpointing when next we need any masonry work performed.
