Maryland’s Trusted Choice for Chimney & Masonry Services Since 1991

Watch for these common signs:

• Cracked, crumbling, or missing mortar
• Loose or flaking bricks or stones
• White staining (efflorescence) on the masonry
• Gaps between bricks or stone joints
• Leaks or water stains near the chimney

These are often early warning signs of structural damage or moisture penetration, both of which can become costly if ignored.

Masonry repair pricing depends on the extent of the damage, materials, and accessibility. Small tuckpointing jobs may cost a few hundred dollars, while complete rebuilds can go into the thousands.

Yes and No. We will match as closely as possible. But, brand new mortar will not be a perfect match to the mortar that’s been exposed to the elements over the years. At MCP, we take extra care to ensure that any new mortar used during repointing or repair work blends seamlessly with your existing structure.

We analyze the original mortar’s color, composition, and finish, then hand-match replacement materials for a consistent, natural look. This is especially important for historic homes and visible areas where appearance matters.
