Tuckpointing and Masonry Repair in Girard, PA
Erie Masonry Repair works throughout Girard, Pennsylvania, an older borough in the west end of Erie County. We are a licensed and insured masonry contractor doing tuckpointing, brick repair, chimney work, and stone restoration for homes and businesses across the borough and township.
Girard has a long main street with brick storefronts and older homes behind it, the kind of nineteenth-century downtown that was laid up in soft brick and lime mortar. That masonry has taken the weather for well over a century, and the joints have worn back the way they were meant to. The trouble now is the joints that have gone past worn to open.
On this older brick the mortar match is the job. We point in a lime mix keyed to the original, matched for sand and color, so the repair moves with the soft brick instead of cracking it. A hard portland joint driven into an old Girard wall forces every freeze into the brick face. The newer homes on the edges of the borough take a standard modern blend instead.
Our work in Girard runs from repointing and brick replacement to stone restoration and chimney rebuilding. Every job starts with a free written estimate.
