Repointing vs. Brick Repair (How We Choose the Right Fix)
Not every job needs full repointing. If the bricks are solid and the mortar is failing, repointing may be the right move. If bricks are damaged, loose, or the wall/steps are shifting, brick repair typically comes first. Either way, the goal is the same: stop moisture intrusion, restore structural performance, and make the repair blend naturally.
