The frequency of chimney repointing or tuckpointing depends on various factors, such as your location’s weather conditions, the quality of the original construction, and the chimney’s age. On average, chimney repointing or tuckpointing may be required every 25 to 30 years. Regular inspections will help determine when it’s time for maintenance.

Chimney repointing involves replacing deteriorated mortar joints with fresh mortar to strengthen the structure and prevent water damage. On the other hand, tuckpointing is a cosmetic technique that uses different-colored mortars to create the illusion of finely finished joints. While both processes can help improve a chimney’s structural integrity, their focus and intended outcome differ.
