What is Repointing Cost?

Repointing cost refers to the total cost associated with the process of repointing, which involves renewing the external part of mortar joints in masonry construction. The cost is calculated based on the area that needs to be repointed and the cost per square foot for the service. Repointing is important to maintain the structural integrity and appearance of brickwork, stone, or other masonry surfaces.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate Repointing Cost:

\[ RPC = 500 \times 10 = 5000 \, \text{dollars} \]

This means that the repointing cost for an area of 500 ft² with a cost of $10 per square foot would be $5,000.
