Chimney Tuckpointing in St. Louis

Approved Home Improvements restores and protects your brick with the newest chimney tuckpointing technology.

Choose the St. Louis Area Experts for Your Chimney Tuckpointing Service Needs

When the mortar joints in your brickwork deteriorate due to age, weathering, or other factors, chimney tuckpointing is a reliable solution. Chimney tuckpointing is a masonry repair technique involving removing and replacing deteriorated mortar joints. Fresh mortar is applied, matching the color and texture of the existing joints, to restore structural integrity and enhance aesthetics.

When you call Approved Home Improvements for chimney tuckpointing in St. Louis, we replace old mortar and bricks from your home or commercial building. We aim to make your brick walls and chimneys look like they did the day your property was built. And unlike other tuckpointing contractors, we don’t just perform aesthetic repairs. Our team also seals your brick to protect it from unpredictable St. Louis weather.

Types of Tuckpointing Services We Offer in the St. Louis Area

RESIDENTIAL CHIMNEY TUCKPOINTING

Approved Home Improvements serves homeowners throughout the St. Louis area, including St. Louis County and Jefferson County. If you notice crumbling mortar or discolored bricks on your home’s chimney or exterior walls, we can help. We make your brickwork look brand new while protecting your home from water damage in the humid St. Louis summers.

COMMERCIAL CHIMNEY TUCKPOINTING

Approved can restore your brickwork to its original condition, whether you own a brick office building or apartment complex. We seal every chimney tuckpointing project, so you won’t have to worry about replacing your brick and mortar for years, no matter what the St. Louis weather has in store.

CROWN AND CHIMNEY CAP REPAIR

Your chimney crown and cap protect your masonry fireplace from water. When one or both degrades, it can cause water damage that requires costly repairs. Approved uses our proven chimney tuckpointing process to repair crowns and replace caps to ensure water runs away from your chimney, not into it. Our chimney covers also keep animals out and contain spark arrestors to prevent roof damage.

Discover the AHI Process for Chimney Tuckpointing in St. Louis

Chimney tuckpointing can be a dangerous job. To keep you and our crew safe when providing tuckpointing services, we follow these steps:

I highly recommend Approved Home Improvements for any chimney tuckpointing or brick sealing work. I had a chimney and wall that were in bad shape. They were prompt with the repairs and did high-quality work. They let me know what was scheduled and kept to that schedule. The crew was very professional. The chimney and wall look better than new. If I ever need other work done, I will definitely call Approved Home Improvements.

1. CHIMNEY TUCKPOINTING ASSESSMENT

Whether you need chimney tuckpointing for your residential or commercial property, our process always begins with an evaluation. We look for damaged mortar and crumbling bricks to determine the type of repairs needed. We recommend a full repointing and chimney tuckpointing job for properties with extensive brick damage. This requires removing, replacing, and sealing damaged brick-and-mortar joints.

2. SAFETY PREPARATION

Safety is our top priority when chimney tuckpointing St. Louis properties. We start every project by scaffolding the worksite. Then, every crew member puts on a safety harness. Our safety measures prevent falls and other injuries, so you don’t have to worry about increased liability when choosing AHI for chimney tuckpointing in St. Louis.

3. BRICK AND MORTAR REMOVAL

Old mortar often contains silica dust, which can cause fatal lung problems when inhaled. To reduce our exposure and protect our clients, we use the latest grinding technology and self-cleaning vacuums to collect dust during removal.

4. MASONRY RESTORATION

Once we remove all the crumbling mortar and cracked bricks, our team gets to work restoring your property. We carefully choose new bricks and mortar to match your existing brickwork. Your new brick structures should look original to the building at the end of our chimney tuckpointing and repointing project.

5. BRICK AND MORTAR SEALING

A professional chimney tuckpointing job can last decades, but only if your tuckpointing contractor preserves their work. Approved seals your new brickwork to shield it from water damage and weather changes.

6. CHIMNEY TUCKPOINTING WARRANTY PERIOD

We want our clients to be 100% satisfied with our work. That’s why we offer a one-year warranty for chimney tuckpointing in St. Louis, whether it’s a minor chimney repair or a full brick facelift.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In and out in a day and a half, they fixed and resealed my chimney that had stymied other vendors due to a non-standard coupling. Also, the guy who came to assess my home was quite a character and I appreciated both the time he took to explain precisely what was needed and why, as well as the energy he used to do it. I won't hesitate to recommend.
