From the context, it seems you mean repointing, not tuckpointing. (As described in the Wikipedia article you link, which admittedly does make an allowance for some regions using the terms interchangeably.)
But, the true meaning of tuckpointing (two-toned bands of grout to give the appearance of finer grout lines) is something I did not know about and found pretty interesting. Thank you for the comment.
- jimberlage 3y agoIt seems everyone uses the term wrong around here - I live in the area and when I had my home repointed, every tradesman called it tuckpointing. Probably a regional thing.
- geerlingguy 3y agoYeah, even the ads on the radio talk about tuckpointing, when they just mean repointing.
