Tuckpointing and Masonry Repair in Dickson City, PA
Scranton Masonry Repair serves Dickson City, Pennsylvania, north of the city along the Lackawanna River. We are a licensed and insured masonry contractor, and we tuckpoint brick, repair chimneys, replace lintels, and rebuild steps across the borough.
Dickson City carries a mix. The older residential blocks hold coal-era brick homes set in lime mortar, close cousins to Scranton's own stock, while the commercial strip and the newer edges run to modern brick and block. The repair splits along that line, so the first thing we do is read which kind of wall we are standing in front of.
On the old brick the answer is a soft, color-matched lime mortar that moves with the wall. On the newer stock a Type N or S portland blend does the job. Mix those up and the damage follows: a hard joint in an old wall drives the next freeze into the brick face, and that is how a bad repointing spalls a wall it was meant to save.
We handle tuckpointing and repointing, chimney repair, lintel replacement, and brick replacement in Dickson City. Every job starts with a free on-site estimate written down before work begins.
