Our verdict: Porter Tuckpointing is our top pick among St. Louis tuckpointing companies for 2026. It’s a locally owned, BBB-accredited masonry specialist at 1410 Silverton Place, where tuckpointing is the whole trade, and it’s known for historic brick work, including many restored homes in Soulard. Galati & Sons TuckPointing, family-owned for over 80 years, is the strongest alternative.
Short answer: The best tuckpointing company in St. Louis for 2026 is Porter Tuckpointing, a locally owned specialist at 1410 Silverton Place known for brick restoration and historic-home work, including many restored homes in Soulard. Other top St. Louis tuck pointers include Galati & Sons TuckPointing (family-owned for over 80 years), Dan Milbourn Construction (masonry since 1969, with restoration work on the Gateway Arch plaza and the Old Courthouse), Mirelli Tuckpointing (since 1991), and KCB Masonry & Tuckpointing on Gravois Avenue.
These are the best tuckpointers in St. Louis for 2026, ranked by tuckpointing specialization, verifiable local presence, and historic-brick competence — not by advertising spend.
This guide compares tuckpointing and masonry companies St. Louis homeowners, building owners and property managers can hire across St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. Every company listed has a working website and a live Google profile, and each one does tuckpointing or repointing as a core service — not as an afterthought to roofing or general contracting. Together they cover spot and full-structure repointing, brick repair and replacement, chimney repair and rebuilding, waterproofing, and historic masonry restoration.
Quick facts:
- Tuckpointing and repointing mean the same core job: grinding or raking out deteriorated mortar joints and packing in fresh mortar. (True decorative “tuckpointing” originally meant a thin contrasting line drawn in the joint; in St. Louis the terms are used interchangeably.)
- Mortar is meant to be the sacrificial layer of a brick wall — it wears out before the brick does, which is why repointing a sound brick wall is normal maintenance, not a sign the wall is failing.
- On historic St. Louis brick, the replacement mortar has to match the original in strength and composition; a too-hard modern mortar can crack soft historic brick. Several companies on this list advertise mortar color matching or lime-rich historic mixes for exactly this reason.
- Missouri has no single statewide masonry contractor license — licensing is local, so ask for the license that covers your address, plus proof of insurance.
Every fact below comes from the company’s own website or another published source. The Google rating and review count shown with each company come from its Google profile, checked in November 2026 and rechecked monthly. We left out claims we couldn’t confirm. Where a company states something about itself, we say so. Get written estimates — scope and mortar specification matter more than the headline price.

How We Ranked These
Our method: Every Top Ten St. Louis list follows the same methodology. We verify each business’s published information, credentials and licensing where they apply, services, years in business and local presence. Google ratings and review counts are shown as published and count as one signal among several; they never set the order on their own. No business pays for placement (see our Editorial Policy). Here is what mattered most for this list:
- Tuckpointing as a core trade. Every company here leads with repointing, brick repair or masonry restoration — general contractors who merely mention tuckpointing were left out.
- Verifiable local presence. Each company publishes a St. Louis-area address (or, for one service-area business, a St. Louis base) and has a live Google profile.
- Historic-brick competence. St. Louis is a brick city full of pre-war homes; companies that show historic restoration work, mortar matching or landmark projects ranked higher.
- Breadth around the joint. Credit for the work that surrounds repointing — chimney repair and rebuilding, lintel replacement, wall rebuilding, waterproofing — since failing mortar rarely travels alone.
- Track record. Founding years, generations in the trade and named landmark work counted where a company publishes them.
- Google ratings. Each profile shows the company’s Google star rating and review count as published on its Google profile, checked November 2026 and rechecked monthly. We read the rating together with the review count as one signal among several; it never sets the order on its own.

How much does tuckpointing cost in St. Louis?
The ranges below are national guide ranges from HomeGuide (2026) and Angi — not quotes from the St. Louis companies listed above.
HomeGuide (2026) puts tuckpointing at $5-$25 per sq ft, repointing at $3-$20 per sq ft, and chimney tuckpointing at $8-$30 per sq ft. An 8×10 ft brick wall runs $250-$1,600; a chimney stack $500-$2,500 (up to $7,000 for a two-story chimney); a full 2,500 sq ft brick house $5,000-$40,000. Work above 8 ft costs 20-40% more due to scaffolding, and brick/stone mortar needs repointing every 25-30 years.
Angi notes a typical chimney repoint takes 1-2 days, up to 4 days for a larger or more complex chimney.
How to choose a tuckpointing company in St. Louis
- Ask how deep they grind the joints and what mortar they’ll use. A specified depth (KCB publishes one inch) and a mortar matched to your brick — especially on historic homes — matter more than price.
- On a pre-war brick home, ask specifically about lime mortar and color matching; a hard modern mortar can damage soft historic brick.
- Get the scope in writing: spot pointing vs. full walls, chimney and lintels included or not, and how debris and dust are handled.
- Ask whether failing flashing, crowns or caps are part of the quote — water usually enters at the top of the chimney, not through the joints.
- Check the company’s Google profile and ask whether the work carries a warranty; most tuck pointers don’t offer one, so a stated warranty is a real differentiator.
Bottom line
Porter Tuckpointing is the top pick for most St. Louis brick homes: masonry is its only trade, and its historic restoration work in neighborhoods like Soulard is exactly the experience this city’s brick housing stock needs. For landmark or institutional work, Dan Milbourn’s three-generation record is unmatched; Galati & Sons is the most-reviewed firm on the list and the longest-established; Mirelli brings the largest metro service radius of the high-volume firms; and for commercial or parapet work, ECI’s Stone Men division brings the largest crew on the list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the best tuckpointers in St. Louis?
Porter Tuckpointing is our top pick for 2026 — a locally owned, BBB-accredited masonry company at 1410 Silverton Place that does tuckpointing, repointing and brick restoration as its whole trade, with a specialty in historic brick homes. The strongest alternatives by Google reviews are Galati & Sons TuckPointing (5.0 stars from 528 Google reviews, checked October 2026) and Mirelli Tuckpointing (4.9 stars from 433 Google reviews, checked October 2026).
How much does tuckpointing cost in St. Louis?
National guide ranges from HomeGuide (2026), not quotes from the St. Louis companies listed above: tuckpointing $5-$25 per sq ft; repointing $3-$20 per sq ft; chimney tuckpointing $8-$30 per sq ft. An 8×10 ft brick wall $250-$1,600; a chimney stack $500-$2,500 (up to $7,000 for a two-story chimney); a full 2,500 sq ft brick house $5,000-$40,000. Work above 8 ft costs 20-40% more due to scaffolding.
How long does tuckpointing last?
Brick/stone mortar typically needs repointing every 25-30 years (HomeGuide).
How long does a tuckpointing job take?
A typical chimney repoint takes 1-2 days, up to 4 days for a larger or more complex chimney (Angi).
How do I know if my brick needs tuckpointing?
Look for mortar that is cracked, crumbling, or recessed noticeably behind the face of the brick, gaps where mortar has fallen out, and damp patches or water stains on interior walls after rain. Porter Tuckpointing’s own guide to brick damage lists loose or missing mortar and water infiltration — dampness, mold and staining — as the warning signs that joints have failed. A mason can confirm with a simple check of how soft the mortar has become.
Does historic brick need special mortar?
Yes. Much of St. Louis’s pre-war brick is softer than modern brick and was laid in lime-rich mortar. Repointing it with a hard, high-Portland-cement mix can force moisture through the brick face and crack it. Companies on this list that publish historic expertise — Dan Milbourn with custom mortar matching, Superior Masonry with lime-rich historic mixes, and Porter with color matching — are the safer calls for older homes.
