Tuckpointing and Masonry Repair in Dunmore, PA
Scranton Masonry Repair is a licensed and insured masonry contractor working throughout Dunmore, Pennsylvania, the borough that runs right up against Scranton's east side. We tuckpoint brick, repair chimneys, replace rusted lintels, and rebuild steps for homes and businesses across the town.
Dunmore packs its houses tight, block after block of them, and most went up before 1940 in the same coal-era brick as the city next door. That brick is soft, and it was laid in lime mortar. It does not take a hard modern joint, and pointing it in portland splits the brick faces the first hard winter.
Old, dense stock means old, dense problems. Party-wall chimneys spall at the top. Steel lintels over the windows rust and lift the brick above them. Front stoops that sit inches off the sidewalk settle and rock. Each is water and freeze-thaw working on brick that has stood for generations, and each wants a repair keyed to how the house was built.
Our Dunmore work runs from tuckpointing and repointing and brick replacement to chimney repair and lintel replacement. Every job starts with a free on-site look and a written estimate.
