Tuckpointing becomes mandatory when mortar joints have cracked, flaked, or disintegrated due to the abrasive effects of the elements. Although the right material and technique are enough to deliver a water-tight job, ARROW believes appearance is also a top priority. Our skilled crews carefully select the proper mortar mix and tools to compliment your existing mortar color and profile.

At Work: Here is a condensed version of the tuckpointing process with a tooled joint. The first step is to prepare the mortar joint by grinding it out to a minimum depth of 1/2″ or until sound mortar is reached. Once the joint is ground out it is tuckpointed with new mortar in a color to match the existing as close as possible. After the applied mortar is thumbprint hard the joint is tooled to form a concave profile for a watertight seal.
