The new mortar joints shall match the existing brickwork in all aspects including bond, mortar color, flashings, and weep holes. Repoint brick joints by cutting and raking out mortar joints to ¾” depth and brushing joint clean. Just prior to repointing flush raked joints with water. Leave joints damp with no free water. Force mortar into joints and pack solid, strike off excess mortar and tool joint to match existing. The contractor will inject mortar into cracks of broken brick to match existing (see informational photo 4). Do not repoint brick when temperature may drop below 40 degrees F within 24 hours. Contractor will also repoint edges around windows and door.
