Roman's European Style Tuckpointing
We are PASSIONATE about our work
Roman’s European Style Tuckpointing Co., Inc., established in 1982, specializes in restoration services, exterior and interior, of residential and commercial buildings.
The company has specially designed trucks, completely equipped. All of our equipment, tools and materials have a place of their own, which allows us to do even a very small job quickly and economically.
Mortar is mixed by hand using sand, cement and lime in the right proportions for extra strength and durability. Then the color of the mortar is mixed carefully to better blend with the original color or any palette the customer requests.
All customer files and records of recipes of used materials and color of the mortar are kept for later reference. This makes it helpful when scheduling maintenance appointments every few years or for new jobs, which might arise.
The policy of my company is to complete the job to the customer’s satisfaction.
In over 40 years of business, most of our jobs come from customer referrals.

Roman and his assistant(s) tuck-pointed the large limestone blocks on two exterior walls of the house of worship where I served as executive director. The work they performed on this architecturally significant building was excellent. They perfectly matched the color of the existing mortar, and it is impossible to tell where the new work was done. The tuck-pointing has been in place for over 25 years, and it still looks perfect. Roman is a true professional, and I highly recommended him. A note about the cost: I simply don't remember, and the massive size of this job might not make the information relevant to your decision anyway

The job was very professionally. After the job was done, my roofer came in to repair the section of the roof near the chimney and he also remarked on how the chimney looked 'like new'. I am very satisfield with Roman's work. They also had the lowest bid of the five tuckpointers from Angie's List that submitted bids.
