Brick Repair in New Albany, MS
Tuckpointing, spalled-brick replacement, lintel patching, and full re-pointing for New Albany and Union County homes. TAV leads the project; licensed masonry crews self-perform or sub.
New Albany homes — especially older houses in the historic district and university neighborhoods — show their age first at the brick. Mortar joints weather, water finds its way behind flashing, and a single hard winter can pop the face off a course of brick that looked fine the year before. The repair is doable; the trick is solving the upstream water problem so the same spot doesn't fail again in two seasons.
TAV Construction leads brick repair across New Albany, Union County, and the surrounding North Mississippi region. We self-perform some scope and coordinate licensed masonry crews on the rest — sequenced under our finish standard, with one contract and one contractor accountable for the whole project.
What New Albany Brick Repair Covers
Tuckpointing & Re-Pointing
Failed mortar joints raked out to the correct depth and re-packed with color-matched mortar at the right profile. Most New Albany brick walls need tuckpointing every 25–40 years; chimney stacks closer to every 15–20. We tackle single-section repairs or full-wall re-points.
Spalled-Brick Replacement
Individual face bricks with popped, flaking, or fractured faces cut out and replaced with color- and texture-matched stock. Match accuracy is the difference between a repair you don't notice and a patch that telegraphs from the curb.
Lintel & Arch Repair
Cracks running diagonally up from a door or window corner usually mean the steel lintel above has rusted and is jacking the brick. We expose the lintel, address the corrosion or replace it, then rebuild the brick face with proper bearing and bond.
Water-Source Diagnosis
Flashing above lintels, weep holes at the base of the wall, windowsill drainage, and roof-to-wall transitions all checked first. The visible brick failure is usually the symptom, not the cause. We fix the cause, then the face.

New Albany Brick Repair: Common Questions
What New Albany and Union County homeowners ask most before scheduling brick repair.
1How much does brick repair cost in New Albany, MS?
Small tuckpointing or single-brick replacement jobs in New Albany typically run $400–$1,200. Mid-sized wall repairs with multi-course tuckpointing and a handful of spalled-brick swaps fall in the $1,500–$4,500 range. Full re-pointing of a face wall or chimney can run $4,000–$10,000+ depending on access (scaffolding) and mortar-matching difficulty. TAV provides line-item written estimates before any work begins.
2Why is my brick spalling or flaking on the face?
Spalled brick is almost always a water problem. Water gets into the brick, freezes during a North Mississippi cold snap, and pops the face off when it expands. Upstream causes include failed flashing above a lintel, missing weeps at the base of the wall, a cracked sill above, or paint that sealed water inside the brick. We trace the water source first — patching spalled brick without fixing what's letting water in just means the next course spalls in two years.
3Can you match my home's existing brick and mortar?
Yes. Brick matching is usually findable — most face brick in New Albany homes came from a regional producer and similar profiles are still in stock. Mortar matching is the harder of the two: color (sand and pigment), joint depth, and joint profile (concave, V-joint, weathered) all have to read continuous with the existing wall. We pull samples, lay test joints in a hidden area, and only commit to the visible repair once the match reads right.
4Do you handle Union County permits and inspections?
Yes — for repair scope that's permit-required. Cosmetic tuckpointing and individual face-brick replacement typically don't trigger a permit in New Albany or Union County. Structural masonry repair (lintel rebuilds, load-bearing patches) does. TAV handles all permit documentation and inspection coordination as part of the project so you never deal with the municipality directly.
5Why use TAV instead of a brick-only specialist?
For brick-only jobs, a dedicated mason is often the right call. TAV's value shows up when brick repair is one phase of a larger renovation that also touches framing, flashing, interior drywall, or finish work — one project lead beats four uncoordinated bids and four different schedules. We lead full-scope projects in New Albany and bring in licensed masonry crews as needed under our finish standard.
