 Seattle Tuckpointing: What We Can Do For You

Compared with things like re mortaring, re pointing and other types of masonry work, tuckpointing is probably the one that involves the finest touch. If you've never considered tuckpointing before, it is definitely in your best interests to learn more about it if you live in Seattle. Tuckpointing involves masonry that uses two different colors of mortar to achieve the illusion of very fine joints. This lends a building a delightfully sophisticated appearance, and can really boost its overall appeal. When combined with exceptional re mortaring and re pointing work, tuckpointing can give your home the face lift that it so desperately needs.

Tuckpointing should only be undertaken by a skilled professional who has a great deal of experience with the technique. As with re pointing and re mortaring, a delicate touch is necessary to achieve optimal results. Two different mortar colors are used in tuckpointing; one is a more traditional hue, while the other closely approximates the color of the brick. The mason who performs the tuckpointing will use the brick-colored mortar to diminish the appearance of the traditional colored mortar; as a result, the illusion of much less mortar being used will be achieved.

  There are several benefits to tuckpointing; they include:

A mason can use re pointing or re mortaring and follow them up with topnotch tuckpointing. In this way, you can avoid the need to entirely rebuild a wall, while still enjoying the advantages of a whole new look.

Tuckpointing is a much more affordable way to give a building an exciting new appearance.
