Tuckpointing and Masonry Repair in Edinboro, PA
Erie Masonry Repair works throughout Edinboro, Pennsylvania, the college town south of the city on the higher inland ground. We are a licensed and insured masonry contractor doing tuckpointing, brick repair, chimney work, and step repair for homes and businesses around the borough and the lake.
Edinboro sits well back from Lake Erie and higher up, which means it catches even more snow than the shoreline in a hard winter. The university anchors the town, so alongside the older brick homes there is a stock of rental houses and small apartment buildings that take heavy year-round use. Both the old homes and the rentals meet the same deep snow load.
That snow is what drives the masonry here. It piles against the walls and steps, melts, and refreezes for months, so chimneys spall at the top and porch steps loosen and rock. We point the walls in mortar matched to the brick, rebuild the steps on a base that drains, and rebuild spalled chimneys from the roofline up. Old brick gets a lime mix; newer builds take a Type N or S blend.
Our work in Edinboro runs from repointing and chimney repair to step and porch repair and brick replacement. Every job starts with a free written estimate.
