Repointing (Brick & Stone) in Rochester
Rochester Stoneworks
Removal and replacement of failed mortar joints on older brick and stone — chimneys, foundations, façades. For pre-1930s Rochester homes we use lime-based mortar; portland is wrong for soft historic brick.
Typical price
$12–$28 per sq ft · typical chimney $1,800–$4,500
What's included
- Mortar analysis on pre-1930s homes (lime vs portland)
- Joints raked to 2–2.5x the joint width depth
- Three-coat application: scratch, brown, finish
- Matched color and texture to surrounding mortar
- Tooled to match original profile
- Wet-cure protection for 48–72 hours after work
