Tuck-pointing & brick repair

Old mortar ground out and replaced, damaged brick swapped, blended to match. Serving Federal Way, Kent, Auburn, Renton and the rest of South King County and Seattle.

Repaired red brick chimney with new crown, caps and flashing

Tuck-pointing means grinding out the old mortar joints and refilling them with fresh mortar. It strengthens the chimney and protects the house, and Kenny’s tuck-pointing carries a 10-year warranty.

If only part of the chimney needs it, he blends the new work into the existing brick. Stores don’t sell the same products they did 40 years ago, so on some jobs the color match can’t be exact; he’ll tell you up front.

“Kenny repointed two of our chimneys, including replacing some damaged brick. They look great! He was very communicative during the whole process, explaining what he would do and why, and giving us a couple options for the work. He was very careful to protect the new roof we had as well as to protect our house from dust during grinding.”

“Kenny is a craftsman – he takes pride in his work and did a wonderful job repairing (tuck point) our 1954 house’s chimney, including replacing the old chimney tops. I also asked him to see if our chimneys needed cleaning – they didn’t and I really appreciate his honesty in not charging us for a service we did not need.”

“A chimney at one of our rentals was looking really rough and falling apart in some areas… Kenny repaired it and brought it back to life. We will definitely use him again for any and all chimney needs.”
