Connecticut homeowner calls us and says, “I think my brick is failing.” Here’s the thing—it’s usually the mortar first, not the brick. In Connecticut, once mortar joints open up, water gets in, and freeze–thaw does what it always does: it expands that damage every season until you’re looking at loose bricks, interior dampness, or a chimney that’s shedding pieces.

Wallder Construction handles repointing in Connecticut (CT) for brick homes, block foundations, chimneys, retaining walls, and older multi-family buildings that need the joints restored the right way. We’re based in Meriden (141 Grove Street, Meriden, CT 06451) and we’ve been working on Connecticut exteriors since 2002, so we know the difference between a quick cosmetic smear and repointing that actually holds up for years.

If your mortar is cracked, sandy, missing in spots, or letting water in, call (203) 565-4719 for a free, no-obligation estimate. We’ll tell you what’s failing, what’s still solid, and how far the repointing really needs to go so you’re not paying for work you don’t need.

There are plenty of guys who will “touch up” joints. The problem is those touch-ups often fail fast—because the prep wasn’t there, the mortar was wrong, or the real water source wasn’t addressed.

Here’s what we do differently on repointing CT projects:

We look at the cause, not just the joint. In Connecticut, the repeat offenders are bad runoff, failed chimney crowns, missing caps, and flashing issues. If the wall stays wet, the new mortar won’t last.

We match the job to the masonry. Older Connecticut brick can be softer than modern brick. Using mortar that’s too hard can damage the brick faces over time. We choose the right mix and joint profile for the structure.

We’re fully licensed and accountable. Wallder Construction is licensed in Connecticut (HIC.0638080)—and we put our scope in writing so you’re not stuck with vague “as needed” language.

We understand exterior systems and transitions. We’re certified installers for Dryvit, Parex, STO, and Senergy, and that “system thinking” matters when masonry meets siding, stucco, EIFS, roofing, or trim details.

Proven project management. We’ve handled major work like the Great Wolf Lodge EIFS installation (2024–2025), which means planning, scheduling, and quality control are not new to us.

Clear pricing and timelines. You’ll get a detailed written estimate—no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons halfway through the work.

If you want repointing done once (not twice), call (203) 565-4719 for a free consultation.
