WHAT IS MASONRY RESTORATION?

Masonry restoration is used when working with any form of masonry on an existing structure. That could include tearing the masonry down and rebuilding, to cleaning and sealing. Typically, masonry restoration is thought of in terms of tuckpointing and repointing. 

Masonry Terms
Pointing: This is in relation to new construction. This refers to the space in between the bricks.
Repointing: This is a typical masonry restoration where you remove the old mortar and you replace it with new mortar.
Tuckpointing: This is when you simply add to the existing joint and make the new mortar match the existing.
