What to know about Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing, which most Canadian masons also call repointing, is the renewal of worn mortar between bricks or stones. The mason cuts the old mortar out of the joints to a sound depth, packs fresh mortar back in and finishes each joint to match the rest of the wall. The bricks stay where they are, which is what separates this job from brick replacement.

No permit page published by Baie-Comeau itself has been verified for this site, so what is below is what applies in Quebec. If tuckpointing needs a permit, ask who is pulling it and whether it is in the price.

Tuckpointing costs in Baie-Comeau
Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size of the area and the height of the walls
- Material chosen
- Removal of the existing material
- Repairs needed to what's underneath
- Access, including ladders, scaffolding or lifts
- Trim, corners and openings to work around
How to choose masons in Baie-Comeau
- Choose a pro who works regularly with your material, whether that's siding, stucco, brick, eavestroughs or soffit and fascia.
- Ask them to explain what's causing the problem, not only how they'll cover it up.
- Get a written quote that separates removal, repairs to what's underneath and the new finish.
- For chimney and masonry work, look for someone with specific masonry experience rather than a general handyman.
- Check that they carry liability insurance, especially for work on ladders or scaffolding.
Questions to ask masons before you hire
- What do you think is causing the damage, and will your work fix the cause?
- Will you check the sheathing or wall underneath once the old material is off?
- How will you handle water management, such as flashing, caulking and drainage?
- Does this work need a permit from my municipality, and who will get it?
- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship?
Tuckpointing permits in Quebec
Some tuckpointing work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Roof Repair guide
Most roof leaks start small, and far from where the water finally shows. Water that slips past a lifted shingle or a cracked flashing can run along the deck or a rafter before it drips onto the insulation and stains a…

Roof Replacement guide
Roof replacement means removing the old covering down to the deck, repairing what's underneath and installing a complete new roof system: underlayment, eave protection, flashing, vents and the finished surface.

Common tuckpointing questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
