Local Pointing Specialists in Upper Darby
SMG Plastering INC provides professional pointing throughout Upper Darby, PA. Our crews work out of 830 Crum Creek Road, Media, PA 19063, so Upper Darby projects get an owner-supervised team that already knows the neighbourhoods, the building stock and the conditions that cause pointing problems here.
Mortar is the sacrificial element of any masonry wall — it is designed to fail before the brick or stone does. When joints erode, water gets behind the face and freeze-thaw cycling does the rest. SMG Plastering INC repoints brick and stone walls, chimneys, garden walls, foundations and porches throughout Media, Philadelphia and Delaware County's many century-old neighborhoods.
Upper Darby's rows of twins and porch-front brick homes in Drexel Hill, Highland Park and Stonehurst were built solidly, but their mortar joints, porch masonry and stucco parge coats are now well past their original service life. SMG Plastering INC repoints those walls, rebuilds porch piers and steps, repairs stucco parging, and repaints trim and porch ceilings across the township.
Every Upper Darby project begins with a free on-site assessment and a written, itemized proposal within 24 hours — covering preparation, materials, schedule and price with nothing hidden. For water, mold and storm emergencies in Upper Darby, PA, we answer 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pointing in Upper Darby — Questions, Answered
Can you match the original mortar color and texture on a historic home?
Yes. We evaluate the existing mortar's color, aggregate and hardness, then blend a matching mix and tool the joint to the original profile. Sample panels are available on larger or historically sensitive projects.
How often does brick need repointing?
Well-built masonry in the Delaware Valley typically needs repointing every 25–50 years, though chimneys, parapets and south-facing walls weather faster. Spot repointing of the worst elevations is often all that's required.
Is repointing worth it, or should the wall be rebuilt?
If the masonry units themselves are sound and the wall is plumb, repointing is far more economical and preserves original material. Bulging, displaced or heavily spalled sections may need partial rebuilding — we'll show you exactly which areas and why.
Do you work with landlords and property managers in Upper Darby?
Regularly. We provide itemized scopes, before-and-after documentation, and scheduling that works around tenants — including multi-property maintenance programs.
How much does repointing a twin home front elevation cost?
Pricing depends on square footage, joint depth and access. Front-only spot repointing is a modest project; full four-side work is a larger one. Your free inspection produces a firm number with no add-ons later.
