Built to Share: Our Work, Wisdom & Repairs
We’ve laid a lot of stone. Now we’re laying down what we’ve learned — straight from the job site.
Have you noticed cracks between the bricks on your home? That might mean it’s time for tuckpointing.
At Legend Stoneworks, we help fix brick walls in Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley, and across the Fraser Valley. Let’s explain what tuckpointing is—and why it matters!
Tuckpointing means fixing the lines (mortar) between bricks. Over time, these lines can crack or fall out. When that happens, water can get in and cause damage to the wall.
Tuckpointing removes the old mortar and replaces it with new mortar. This helps your wall stay strong and look great!
Here in B.C., weather can be rough on brick walls. Cold winters, rain, and time can cause damage. You might need tuckpointing if you see:
Cracks between bricks
Gaps or holes in the mortar
Bricks that feel loose
Tuckpointing helps:
✅ Keep water out
✅ Stop bricks from breaking
✅ Make your home look nice
✅ Save you money on bigger repairs later
Tuckpointing takes skill in order to be done correctly. Our team at Legend Stoneworks knows how to match the old mortar so the repair not only solves the problem, but also blends in with the existing mortar.
