Missouri's Trusted Masonry & Tuckpointing Contractor
Missouri’s brick homes and historic buildings are some of the region’s most valued properties — but masonry requires expert care to stand the test of time. Deteriorating mortar joints, crumbling brick, and damaged chimneys are more than cosmetic concerns; left unaddressed, they can lead to water intrusion, structural damage, and costly repairs.
At ECI: A Missouri Exterior Co., our masonry specialists perform precision tuckpointing, brick repair, chimney restoration, and stonework for residential and commercial properties across Missouri. With more than 30 years of experience, we understand the materials, climate conditions, and craftsmanship required to restore and preserve Missouri masonry correctly.
Our Masonry & Tuckpointing Services
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from brick joints and replacing it with fresh mortar — restoring the structural integrity and appearance of the masonry. ECI's tuckpointing crews are experienced in matching mortar color and texture to preserve the original look of your property.
Brick Repair & Replacement
Cracked, spalled, or damaged bricks compromise the appearance and durability of your exterior. Our team repairs and replaces damaged bricks, taking care to match existing material as closely as possible.
Chimney Repair & Restoration
Chimneys are exposed to extreme weather and require regular maintenance. ECI repairs chimney crowns, flashing, mortar joints, and deteriorated brickwork to restore performance and prevent water intrusion.
Parapet Wall Repair
Parapet walls on commercial and multi-family buildings are highly susceptible to water damage and mortar deterioration. ECI restores and waterproofs parapet walls to protect the building's structure.
Stone & Stonework
ECI installs and repairs natural stone, stone veneer, and decorative stonework for both residential and commercial exterior applications.
Masonry Preservation
Preventative masonry maintenance protects your investment and extends the life of brick, stone, and mortar — avoiding costly structural repairs down the road.

Masonry & Tuckpointing FAQs
What is tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing is the process of removing old, deteriorated mortar from the joints between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar. It restores the structural integrity and appearance of the masonry and helps prevent water from penetrating the wall.
How do I know if my masonry needs tuckpointing?
Signs include crumbling or missing mortar joints, white staining (efflorescence) on brick, cracks in the mortar, loose bricks, or water damage near the masonry. ECI offers free inspections to evaluate your masonry’s condition.
Can ECI match my existing brick or mortar?
ECI makes every effort to match existing brick color, texture, and mortar blend as closely as possible. Due to age, weathering, and manufacturing changes, exact matches cannot always be guaranteed, but our team takes great care to achieve the closest possible result.
Does ECI repair chimneys?
Yes. ECI repairs chimney crowns, mortar joints, flashing, and deteriorated brickwork as part of our masonry services.
Does ECI work on commercial masonry projects?
Yes. ECI provides masonry, tuckpointing, and parapet wall repair for commercial buildings, multi-family properties, and commercial property managers throughout Missouri.
How long does tuckpointing last?
