"The owner made time, after normal work hours, and gave me an estimate that not only was reasonable, the company billed me for exactly what was estimated… The company is really good at tuck pointing brickwork… A good contractor, like this one, removes all the 'stair stepping' cracks and makes the new mortar closely match the old mortar. Highly recommend."

"OUTSTANDING COMPANY! I called three companies to give me estimates on repairing a basement leak. [the owner] and Jordan came the day I called… He worked really hard and long hours to make each job look really nice and professionally done and, I think the prices were very fair. I highly recommend The Best Caulking and Restoration of Omaha."

Catch it early
Small cracks turn into big repairs.
Nebraska's freeze-thaw cycles pry open every gap they find. If you're seeing any of these around your home, it's time for an honest inspection — before water does the expensive damage.
- Stair-step cracks climbing through brick or block mortar joints — tuckpointing in Omaha fixes these
- Bulging or spalling brickwork and crumbling, powdery mortar — how to check your mortar
- Water seeping into the basement after rain or snow melt
- Driveway & sidewalk joints cracking, chipping or opening up
Real project, real result
Drag the slider. That's the same basement wall.
A customer called three companies about a leaky basement. The owner and Jordan came the same day, ground out the defects, sealed the cracks and waterproofed the wall — and the other two companies later said the work "was very well done and should take care of the problem."

How it works
No pressure. No surprise bills.
Our customers keep saying the same three things: the owner shows up fast, the bid is straight, and the invoice matches the estimate.
Call or message the owner
Talk directly to the owner — not a call center. We answer Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 8 PM, and often come out the same day you call.
Get a straight, free estimate
An honest look at what's actually wrong, what it costs, and what can wait. What we quote is what we bill — customers confirm it in their reviews.
We do it right, once
Color-matched mortar, commercial-grade sealants, clean job sites — built for Nebraska weather so you're not calling us back next spring.
Why Omaha calls us instead
Plenty of crews do masonry. Here's what's different about ours.
Owner on every jobThe owner gives the estimate, does the work and answers the phone afterward. No sales rep, no subcontractor roulette.
25+ years in the tradeTwo decades of brick, block, stone and sealant work before the LLC ever existed — and it shows in the mortar match.
The estimate is the invoiceCustomers say it in their reviews: what we quote is what we bill. No "we found more" surprises.
Tuckpointing + caulking under one roofMost masons don't seal joints and most caulkers don't repoint brick. We do both, so water has nowhere left to get in.
Same-day responseCall before noon and there's a good chance the owner looks at it today. Estimates are always free.

Questions we hear a lot
Straight answers before you call.
How much will my repair cost?
Every job is different, so we don't guess — we come look, free of charge. You'll get a clear written estimate, and what we quote is what we bill. Customers regularly mention in their reviews that the invoice matched the estimate exactly.
What is tuckpointing, exactly?
We grind out the old, failing mortar between your bricks and replace it with fresh mortar, color-matched to the original. Done well, the repair blends in and the wall sheds water again. Done poorly, it "sticks out like a sore thumb" — which is why matching matters. More about tuckpointing in Omaha →
When should I worry about a foundation crack?
Stair-step cracks through mortar joints, bulging brick, or any water in the basement are worth a look now — Nebraska's freeze-thaw cycles make small openings grow every winter. An early repair is a fraction of the cost of structural work later. We'll tell you honestly if it can wait.
Are you licensed?
Yes — we're a registered Nebraska contractor, license #19741-26 (active), operating as The Best Caulking And Restoration of Omaha, LLC, with an A+ BBB rating.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. Driveway joints, one cracked step, a gate that won't hang right — "most contractors don't even show up to bid a small project," as one customer put it. We do, and we treat it like a big one.
What areas do you serve?
The whole Omaha metro and beyond — Douglas, Sarpy, Washington and Cass counties, plus Lincoln and Council Bluffs, Iowa. We work everywhere from historic neighborhoods like Happy Hollow, Blackstone, Field Club and Morton Meadows to newer builds in Elkhorn, Gretna and Bennington. Residential and commercial, Monday–Saturday, 8 AM–8 PM. See the full service area →
