Neighborhoods
Brick pointing across Philadelphia neighborhoods
Housing types and rules differ by neighborhood. These pages cover what’s specific to each. We take requests from anywhere in the city.
Society Hill
Some of the oldest brick in the country, inside a local historic district. Pointing here almost always means Historical Commission review.
Queen Village
Old Southwark’s small rowhouses on narrow streets. Access and scaffolding are part of every quote.
Spring Garden
Three-story brick and brownstone townhouses from the mid-to-late 19th century, much of it in a historic district.
Fairmount
Brick rowhouses around the Art Museum and Eastern State Penitentiary, on blocks that face weather from every side.
Fishtown
Older brick rowhomes next to new construction. Repointing often comes up when a house sells or a neighbor builds.
Passyunk Square & South Philly
Two-story South Philly rowhomes with shared walls. Rear walls and parapets are the usual suspects.
Mount Airy
Big gray-stone houses in Northwest Philly. Stone pointing is its own skill.
Want a mason to look at it?
Tell us the address ZIP, which wall and what you’re seeing. We pass it to one independent Philadelphia contractor who does masonry work, and they contact you to set up a look and a written quote.
