Brick Tuck Pointing on Investment Property

Josh Kliethermes

I've made an offer on a property in St. Louis that I intend to rent out, and have had an inspector do a thorough inspection. One of the red flags that came out of that inspection was a note that we should have the brickwork inspected by a mason for tuck pointing. I've never had brickwork done before, so not sure when to do this. 

I'd like to see if anyone has any thoughts on how bad this brick looks, and what it might cost to repair. The inspector won't hazard a guess on the cost. 

Thanks!

Josh

It might be wise (re resale time) to color match the remaining non-worked mortar if they can.

So the building looks harmonious.

Good Luck!
