Brick Pointing & Tuckpointing in Manhattan
We grind out failing mortar joints and repoint with a matched mix to stop leaks, protect the brick and sharpen the look of the wall. Grace General Construction Corp has provided brick pointing in Manhattan since 2008 as a licensed, bonded and insured contractor based in the Bronx.
Manhattan has the city’s densest stock of pre-war apartment buildings, walk-ups and townhouses. Taller buildings fall under Local Law 11 facade inspections, and parapets, cornices and lintels facing busy sidewalks have to be kept in safe condition.
Our brick pointing services in Manhattan include:
- Tuckpointing for a crisp finished joint
- Lime-based mortar for older buildings
- Parapet and chimney repointing
- Breathable water repellents after repairs
- Full-elevation repointing
- Spot pointing of failed sections
Signs you need brick pointing
Call us for a free inspection in Manhattan if you notice any of these:
- Damp walls or peeling paint inside
- Efflorescence (white salts) on brick
- Loose bricks at parapets or chimneys
- Mortar that crumbles when scratched
- Joints recessed behind the brick face
Catching problems early usually means a smaller repair instead of a bigger rebuild.
How we work in Manhattan
Manhattan jobs usually involve building management, alteration agreements and DOB filings, and street-facing work may need sidewalk sheds. We prepare contractor documents, insurance certificates and permits up front.

Manhattan facades, parapets and Local Law 11
In Manhattan, exterior work is shaped by height, foot traffic and regulation. Buildings over six stories run on five-year Local Law 11 cycles, street-facing parapets need regular observation, and most repairs require sidewalk sheds and pipe scaffolding. We coordinate with your engineer and building management so repairs keep the facade safe and the permits in order.

What clients say about our brick pointing & tuckpointing work
Our results speak loud — but our clients speak louder. Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 66 reviews on Google.
We had some issues with our roof after a few storms and decided to get it checked out. Grace General Construction Corp came highly recommended, and they did not disappoint. They quickly found the problem and explained what needed to be done without trying to upsell anything unnecessary.
The crew was professional, showed up on time, and got the job done right. Everything was clean when they finished, and the roof looks solid now. Pricing was reasonable too.
Overall, a great experience. I’d definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone in the Bronx looking for a reliable contractor.
We hired Grace General Construction Corp for a roofing job after dealing with leaks for a while, and I’m really glad we chose them. From the start, they were easy to work with and explained everything in a way that made sense.
The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and kept the area clean. The new roof looks great, and we haven’t had any issues since. Overall, a smooth experience and fair pricing.
I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable contractor in the Bronx.
We had a persistent leak that several contractors tried to patch, but the problem kept coming back. It was frustrating and costly. Grace General Construction Corp carefully inspected the issue and performed a proper roof repair instead of just a quick fix. They explained the problem clearly and fixed it the right way. Since then, no more leaks, even during heavy rain. Very satisfied with their honest and professional service.
We own a property with a flat roof, and pooling water was becoming a serious issue. It was starting to cause interior moisture problems. Grace General Construction Corp assessed the drainage issue and installed a proper flat roof solution to prevent standing water. The difference is incredible, no more ponding, no more stress. Their expertise and fair pricing made the whole process smooth. Highly satisfied with their roofing services.
Our shingle roof was curling and missing pieces after years of wear and tear. We were worried about wind damage and energy loss. The team at Grace General Construction Corp replaced the damaged shingles and reinforced the entire section. The workmanship was excellent, and the roof now looks brand new. They worked efficiently and kept everything clean. We’re very happy with the quality and attention to detail.
I hired Grace General Construction Corp for a roofing project in Fordham, Bronx, and I’m extremely satisfied with the results. Tayyab and his team were professional, punctual, and very detail-oriented. The work was completed on time and the quality exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a reliable general contractor.
Brick Pointing & Tuckpointing questions
How long does repointing last?
Done with the right mortar, repointing typically lasts decades. Parapets and chimneys should be checked more often.
Can you work within my Manhattan building’s alteration agreement?
Yes. We provide the insurance certificates, licenses and schedules management requires and follow the building’s work-hour and elevator rules.
Can you repoint just part of my wall in Manhattan?
Yes — spot pointing is common and cost-effective, and we blend new joints with the old.
Will repointing stop my leak?
If open joints are the source, yes. Leaks can also come from roofs, coping or windows, so we inspect the whole wall first.
Do you serve all of Manhattan?
Yes — we work across Manhattan, including Harlem, Washington Heights, Inwood, Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Midtown and every other neighborhood in the borough.
Are estimates free in Manhattan?
Yes. On-site estimates for brick pointing in Manhattan are free and come with no obligation. Call (718) 775-8519 or book online.
