Tuckpointing and Masonry Repair in Clarks Summit, PA
Scranton Masonry Repair is a licensed and insured masonry contractor working throughout Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, up in the Abingtons north of the city. We tuckpoint brick, repair chimneys, replace rusted lintels, and rebuild steps for homes and businesses across the borough.
Clarks Summit built up newer than Scranton's old coal-era core. Most of the brick and block here takes a modern Type N or S portland mortar, not the soft lime mix the pre-1940 houses down in the city need. That makes the repointing straightforward, but a newer wall is not immune to a Northeastern Pennsylvania winter.
The failures we answer most in Clarks Summit are not whole walls. They are chimneys and lintels. A chimney takes weather on all four sides and spalls at the top no matter how new the house is, and the steel angle over a picture window or a garage door rusts and lifts the brick above it. Both are water problems working on an otherwise sound wall.
We cover the full range here: tuckpointing and repointing, chimney repair, lintel replacement, and step and porch repair. Every job starts with a free on-site look and a written estimate.
