Brick and Mortar Repair Tuck Pointing demonstration

Eddie Greer of Better Home Inspection and Improvements, LLC. demonstrates how to do some brick and mortar repairs aka "Tuck Pointing" on your home.
That looks terrible.
I have an old brick house that is almost 200 years old, so the bricks are more of the soft clay variety. Is it ok to use newer mortar on these types of old bricks? It won't crack them or anything? Another concern I have is since the building is so old, there are many areas where you can tell there is massive amounts of mortar missing, gapping holes that appear to go behind the brick, so it appears that there is most likely mortar missing behind the wall. Should I just get a pipping bag and squeeze and squeeze mortar back behind the bricks until I can't anymore? Seems to be a nightmare project. Ha Ha
Could ANYONE tell me if I’m supposed to seal up with Foam or mortar the large gap that runs up the side our Brick wall front? My wife doesn’t want hornets 🐝 or bees to next back there. But I don’t want to seal up the whole side if moisture needs to escape. Please help!
Omg... that's the worst video on pointing ever,
Your doing it backwards,when you point ,you pull the mud into the mud,you don't point and work away from it,and in Wisconsin ,they would get laffed at,, especially on a city , county or state job,they would kick your whole company out of you used a bag
This doesn't look like very good work, it seems sloppy and probably not done correctly..
😂what a mess. Please chang your job😊
Amater
Rubbish work
This guy has NO IDEA !!!
Crap, is this guy for real 😊
I use the plastic bags where you can cut the bag to size and squeeze it in between the bricks.This tip is one size only and is getting mortar all over the bricks and leaves a film even when cleaned.
733k views. Man I should do one. He didn't wait long enough. Run down the verts first
Amateur hour
As soon as you started up that grinder, I could smell the dust
Can someone tell me the name of this cloth nozzle where the cement is coming out ??
I would not let this guy near my house after seeing this video
Use a brush after at least gramps
Good luck losing your digits with gloves and a grinder
So my house has the mortor coming over excessively it seemed this was the “style” I guess? My q is is there a way to hire someone to scrape it so all the excess is off making its appearance better? Or use a sander as you are..
Funny how all PROS have something to say about this guy but non of them made a video to show us how to do it the "correct way."
That's why it's called comments.
Good grief!
Is there a time of year when this is best to be done? Can it be done in October or November?
Just no freezing times for first 3-5 days... of if 30 but warm days you can cover with insulated cover. A propane heater and tent can work but to much time if your trying to make money.
You dont need to wet the surface before laying the new stuff in?
ROUGH AS FUCK MATE
I mean for the technique I just seen the finished product didn't look bad at all. I was genuinely surprised because it looked like a total hack job to me at first
I just wrote you guys a textbook in the comment box about masonry but I'm not sharing my secrets ;)
What's a good Brand of mortar bag you like for this type of brick repair? Reviews I've read are quite negative.
Just let a pointer do that. You go lay brick over there. Hahaha good job my man.
as a demonstration of 2 methods to apply mortar into joints your video achieved that. In all other respects this an awful video full of many faults that a DIY'er would not be aware of and if they replicate them then they may as well have not bothered doing the job in the first place - do not point with strong mortar - fill the joint fully (a point you did mention when using the cake icing method, but not when using the trowel) - wait a lot longer than 1 minute before striking the joint or you will get smearing - same wait applies before removing excess lumps sticking out ("snots" is the UK term)
what an annoying music!!!!! nice presentation and information but the stupid music kills the enjoyment of watching the video...😒😶
Lol this is not tuckpointing. This is just regular repointing
Great demonstration on what not to do, thanks!
What's that tool called you're forcing into the brick
That's his....oh never mind.
so sloppy. learned nothing.
How did that guy have the nerve to make that an example haha awful
Your video is terrible get sureklean600 and a horse hair brush put more mortar in the joints so you have less touch ups
What about the cleaning phase?
Best to work neat. keep fingers clean and a brush or dryish sponge to knock off grout on the brick face. and then after an hour you can wash the bricks off trying not to touch or wash out the lines. Some use muratic acid to wash the bricks off but most money making job pro stone masons or layers dont need to wash much at all. IT is a thing of beauty to watch their austere movement's and speed.
Look, the Fuller Brush guy only with bricks, jeez!
load of crap
Stop with the magic show, no cut just speed up plz
Don't thay make hard work for themselves, this man using the trowel like a hawk don't look comfident at all
Hello! What’s the ratio of mix to water? I’d like to use a mortar bag for an upcoming project! Great video, thank you!
that rapid set is premixed and he had to add water for the bag... that first batch he tucked off the trowel was to thick for a bag. But others have said you want a softer mortar. After getting a few stuck mortar bags you get the feel for how juicy it needs to be.
@@elkskiutah8204 Thanks!
2:10 I think you meant to say VERTICAL joints :P
High strength? Nope.
That is absolutely shocking. This guy hasn't got a clue.
Get yourself a mortar hawk
can't hear you, please remove the background music
Omg Not a clue, the fellow! pipeping bags what bakers use ...clown!
Crap
