Tuckpointing and Masonry Repair in Millcreek, PA
Erie Masonry Repair is a licensed and insured masonry contractor working throughout Millcreek Township, Pennsylvania, the large suburb wrapping the west and south sides of the city. We tuckpoint brick, repair chimneys, replace rusted lintels, and rebuild steps for homes and businesses across the township.
Millcreek spread out over many decades, so its masonry runs from older near-city blocks to postwar and newer subdivisions out toward the interstate. Most of that brick and block takes a modern Type N or S portland mortar, not the soft lime mix the pre-1930 houses in the city need. That makes the repointing straightforward when it comes up. But newer brick still meets the same lake-effect winter.
The failures we see most in Millcreek are not whole walls. They are chimneys and lintels. A chimney stands exposed on all four sides and spalls at the top no matter how new the house is, and the steel angle over a picture window or a garage door rusts and lifts the brick above it. Both are water problems working on an otherwise sound wall.
We handle the full range here: tuckpointing and repointing, chimney repair, lintel replacement, and step and porch repair. Every job starts with a free on-site look and a written estimate.
