What is Tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing is a masonry technique used to repair or enhance mortar joints in brick or stone structures. It involves removing old mortar, replacing it with new mortar that closely matches the surrounding bricks, and then adding a thin, contrasting line of mortar or putty to create a visually appealing finish. This process not only improves the aesthetic appearance but also helps to protect the structure from water damage.

Caulking and Sealing
Mainly, caulk is used to seal construction cracks, while sealant is used to bind surfaces and certain materials together. Many factors are at play when choosing one or the other, such as the material you are using it on, the location, and whether or not it's an area prone to getting wet.
