Tuckpointing and Masonry Repair in Fairview, PA
Erie Masonry Repair works throughout Fairview, Pennsylvania, an older lakeshore community west of the city. We are a licensed and insured masonry contractor doing tuckpointing, brick repair, chimney work, and stone restoration for homes and businesses across the township and borough.
Fairview has a settled older core along the lake road, with brick homes and buildings that go back well before the newer neighborhoods spreading south of it. That older brick is soft and set in lime mortar. It does not take a hard modern joint, and pointing it in portland cracks the brick faces the first hard winter.
So the split here is age. The older homes near the center want a color-matched lime mortar and a careful hand, while the newer builds toward the edges take a standard Type N or S mix. The lake sits right there too, so the wet hangs on the walls and the freeze-thaw runs long. We read which mortar a wall was built with before we mix anything.
Our work in Fairview runs from repointing and brick replacement to stone restoration and chimney rebuilding. Every job starts with a free written estimate.
