What drives the cost of tuckpointing in ST Clair Shores

  • Wall area and how many joints need repointing
  • Height and access: ladder, lift or scaffolding
  • Joint width and profile to match
  • Mortar matching on historic or soft brick

  • The age of the home: the typical ST Clair Shores home was built around 1957, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in ST Clair Shores

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in ST Clair Shores was built around 1957. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

63% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the ST Clair Shores building department before work starts.
