Wildwood's Masonry Isn't Standard Brick. It Requires a Contractor Who Knows the Difference.
Wildwood’s custom homes represent some of the most varied and premium masonry work in the entire St. Louis metro. Natural limestone facades. Fieldstone exterior accents. Manufactured stone veneer systems. Brick combined with stone in architecturally distinctive applications. Decorative cast stone elements. Many of Wildwood’s larger custom estates feature multiple masonry material types on the same property — each with different joint profiles, different mortar requirements, and different weathering characteristics.
This is fundamentally different from standard brick tuckpointing. On a Wildwood property with a natural limestone facade, the mortar formulation, joint finish, and repair approach are entirely different from what you’d use on a standard brick home. Limestone is more porous than brick, more sensitive to moisture, and more susceptible to staining from incompatible mortar chemicals. The wrong mortar on a Wildwood limestone facade doesn’t just look wrong — it can permanently stain the stone surface.
ECI’s masonry team has worked on Wildwood’s custom properties since 1994. We have experience with the full range of masonry materials found in custom Wildwood construction — natural stone, manufactured stone veneer, mixed brick-and-stone, and decorative cast stone — and we assess each material element individually before selecting repair materials and techniques.
Wildwood's Masonry Material Range
Natural Limestone and Fieldstone
Natural stone joints in Wildwood’s custom homes require mortar formulations specifically compatible with the stone type — avoiding high Portland cement content that can cause surface staining on porous limestone and fieldstone.
Manufactured Stone Veneer
Manufactured stone veneer systems installed on Wildwood properties have specific installation details — a substrate, a scratch coat, and the veneer itself — that affect how failing mortar joints are repaired. ECI assesses the full system before recommending a repair approach.
Mixed Brick and Stone Applications
Many Wildwood homes combine standard brick on portions of the exterior with stone accents or stone facade sections elsewhere. Each material section is assessed and repaired with appropriate materials — the brick sections with brick-compatible mortar, the stone sections with stone-compatible formulations.
Decorative Cast Stone
Architectural cast stone elements — window surrounds, keystones, quoins — on Wildwood custom homes require careful mortar selection to avoid incompatible reactions between the cast stone surface and the repair mortar.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tuckpointing in Wildwood
Does natural stone on a Wildwood home require different mortar than standard brick?
Yes — significantly different. Natural stone is generally more porous and more sensitive to mortar chemistry than brick. High Portland cement content in mortar can cause permanent staining on limestone and other natural stones. ECI selects mortar formulations specifically compatible with each stone type encountered on Wildwood properties.
Can ECI match the existing mortar color on a Wildwood natural stone facade?
ECI works carefully to match mortar color on Wildwood’s custom properties using pigmented formulations. Natural stone facades are particularly sensitive to mortar color contrast — we take extra care with color matching on these applications.
Does ECI have experience with manufactured stone veneer on Wildwood homes?
Yes. ECI has assessed and repaired manufactured stone veneer systems on Wildwood properties — understanding the installation system’s specific repair requirements.
Does ECI offer free masonry inspections in Wildwood?
Yes. Complimentary masonry inspections and estimates for Wildwood homeowners.
