OUR MISSION: ![]() "To Help Ensure Brick Mortar Replacement Work that Looks so Good, One Can’t Tell Where the Work Has Been Done, Therefore Contributing to the Preservation of North America's Historic Fabric" ![]() FACT:
The current standard for this type of work, fueled by the misconception that “one cannot possibly match old mortar”, is unacceptably sub-standard and is creating worse conditions than the actual initial need for the repairs; and these worsened conditions will subsequently have to be dealt with by either this generation or by upcoming ones. And there’s yet the greater danger of losing much of the historic complexion of our cities as residential home owners try to hide the damage caused by misrepairs through the use of stucco, paint or exterior claddings. ![]() SOLUTION: ![]() “Invisible” Tuckpointing, which refers to the fact that when the mortar is replaced, the difference between the old and the new cannot be seen, is a system of techniques developed by Mario E. Cantin, which guarantees brick mortar replacement with a perfect match in color AND texture every time, at prices which are within reach to homeowners who value their properties’ appearance, therefore establishing a new standard for the residential market.
