Our Services
Sound mortar joints keep water out and hold your brickwork together. We repair damaged bricks and repoint deteriorated mortar using compatible materials.
Brickwork & Repointing in Vancouver
Brick is one of the most durable building materials there is — but the mortar between the bricks is designed to be the weaker, sacrificial part of the wall. Over decades, it erodes, cracks and falls out, leaving gaps that let water into the masonry.
Apex Property & Roof Restorations repairs brickwork and repoints mortar joints on homes across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Done properly, repointing restores both the appearance of the wall and its ability to shed water, often extending the life of the brickwork considerably.
Cracked and damaged bricks
Bricks may crack or spall, losing their outer face, especially where they stay wet.
Loose or deteriorating mortar
Sandy, crumbling or recessed joints no longer protect the wall properly.
Localized deterioration
Areas under leaking gutters, near downspouts or at ground level often deteriorate faster.
Weather and moisture damage
Water entering through open joints accelerates damage to both brick and mortar.

What We Do
Our Approach
Assess the wall
We examine the brick and mortar condition and look for the source of any moisture problems.
Match the mortar
We select a mortar that's compatible in strength and appearance with your existing brickwork.
Repoint carefully
Joints are raked out and refilled with care to protect the edges of the bricks.
Finish to blend
Joint profiles are finished to match the existing wall as closely as possible.
Repointing is the process of removing old, deteriorated mortar from between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. It restores the joints' ability to keep water out and helps hold the wall together. It's one of the most common — and most valuable — masonry repairs.
If the bricks themselves are sound and the problem is the mortar, repointing is usually all that's needed. Where individual bricks are cracked or badly spalled, those units can be cut out and replaced as part of the repair.
Mortar that's too hard for the surrounding brick can actually cause damage, forcing stress and moisture into the bricks instead of the joints. Matching mortar strength and appearance, and taking care when raking out joints, is what makes repointing last and look right.
It's also important to address the source of water — such as a leaking gutter or poor drainage — so the new work isn't undermined.
Brick homes, chimneys, garden walls and steps are found throughout Vancouver, New Westminster, Burnaby and beyond. We repair and repoint brickwork on properties across the region.
