Our Approach to Brickwork Projects

At Khan Home Improvement, one of our specialties consists of brick pointing projects. Which is why we’ll tell you how it’s done with us. Our brick pointing process begins with a critical first step: professional steam cleaning. This involves applying high-pressure hot water to the surface of the brick structure, effectively removing any loose mortar, dirt, or deteriorated material. Far from being just a cleaning measure, this step is crucial to creating a clean, stable foundation that allows for proper adhesion and long-term performance in creating a clean, stable foundation that enables the new mortar.

With the surface fully prepared, our team moves on to the precise application of fresh mortar between joints. Each section is measured, aligned, and repointed with expert care, ensuring consistency in both appearance and structural integrity. We use carefully color-matched mortar that blends seamlessly with the existing brickwork while also reinforcing the building’s resistance to moisture and weather-related damage. Our focus is not only on restoring what’s visible but also on strengthening what lies beneath.

This process is more than just routine maintenance—it’s a preventative strategy designed to preserve the character and value of your property. By addressing current wear while anticipating future issues, our brick pointing work helps reduce the need for costly repairs down the line. When you choose Khan Home Improvement, you’re choosing craftsmanship that’s built to last, with a commitment to protecting the long-term health of your building.
