BRICKWORK & POINTING We can help with!

Brickwork is one of the most important parts of property maintenance. It’s a service that can easily transform your project. Often, the shape and size of bricks used are uniform, making it easy to create a magnificent structure. Additionally, the bricks are lightweight and ideal for various projects, and their ease of transport makes handling costs manageable.

New York is renowned for its brick houses because they are strong and resilient. However, neglecting them can lead to long-term damage. While issues may not be immediately noticeable, prompt repairs are recommended by Zahran Construction to prevent them from escalating into larger problems that could affect the interior of the house. Failure to address smaller issues promptly may result in avoidable repair costs.

Failure to maintain brickwork can lead to potential harm over time. For instance, rainy and windy weather can loosen brick joints, affecting your heating system’s efficiency during cold weather. This can lead to mold growth, posing health risks over time. Waiting until the damage is extensive is not advisable.

Brick pointing or tuckpointing is the process of combining bricks with the proper application of cement. This procedure must be done correctly to achieve long-lasting results. Zahran Construction boasts years of experience in brick-pointing and a roster of satisfied clients across New York City.

Brick-pointing involves repairing mortar joints and other masonry elements as they age and deteriorate. Defective mortar is removed using special tools and replaced with fresh mortar of the same composition to maintain structural integrity.

However, bricks lack strong resistance against torsion loads or tension, so they shouldn’t be used in areas prone to seismic activity. Zahran Construction can assess your location and advise on the appropriate masonry approach to ensure a solid construction.

With over 25 years of experience, Zahran Construction offers top-quality brickwork and pointing. We prioritize customer satisfaction to build lasting relationships.
