The company uses traditional tuckpointing tools, called "tuckpointing irons," made from hardened quality tool steel, to apply the lime putty ribbon to the joint, ensuring authenticity in their restoration work.

They pride themselves on providing a reliable, friendly service and high-quality traditional craftsmanship. The company does not require any payment in advance; customers pay only when they are fully satisfied with the service provided.
