Costs about $150-$250 per sq yd here. Has been dropped from the apprenticeship training since it was changed from 5 to 3 years.
Mainly done by specialists now, and although it looks good is probably the most boring job in masonry.

I didn't want to say, but I agree. And, IMO, it sterilizes the work....though I appreciate the technicality and skill to make it look so precise.

We have tuckointing around here (Ottawa) that is 120 years old now. the exposed areas are washed a way but the protected areas still look good. I LOVE it, and would ;love to try it someday but I bet it would get boring doing it day in and day out.
