There are a good number of contractors out there who will tell you all you need is a good power wash and tuck-point to restore your brick. These types of contractors have not taken the time to do their research before making claims as such. going directly over the top of old Mortar with new store-bought mortar mixes will leave you in the same situation a year down the road with the new issue of cracking and peeling of the newer mortar. Proper identification and procedure are everything when it comes to brick restoration, proper bonding between the mortar coats during tuck-pointing can mean the difference between a project that looks good for another 8 to 10 decades, and a project that needs help once again a year down the road. If your contractor has not mentioned wall anchors, expansion and contraction control joins, Mortar mix identification, solid bonding procedures, and or proper sealing, along with their “Power wash” and “tuck-point” you may want to reconsider before investing.
