Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between tuckpointing and repointing?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Both involve removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with new mortar. Technically, tuckpointing uses two different colours of mortar to create the illusion of fine joints, while repointing simply replaces the old mortar.
How often does tuckpointing need to be done?
Properly done tuckpointing can last 25-30 years. However, factors like weather exposure, original mortar quality, and building movement can affect this. We recommend inspecting mortar joints every 5-10 years.
