We bought a rental unit and its an old stucco?/cement walls. Well between these 2 sections the bottom sticks out a little and the last owner used some kind of sealant to fill it. I was thinking, tear all of that old sealant out and use a mortar to fill in and angle it. Is there any special kind of mortar I should be using? Or will pretty much anything work? We are planning on getting the building painted after this too.
I have a outside bluestone patio that has large bluestones. The existing grout lines are filled with mortar that is cracking, breaking apart and turning sandy and powdery. I plan to have all the grout joints ground out and replaced with something much more durable.
I'm talking with a couple of contractors who are suggesting to use either Precision Grout or Polymodified Mortar as a much better and longer lasting solution to the constant maintenance required when using regular mortar for filling grout lines. Some research I've done indicates using Epoxy Grout is the best solution for grouting outdoor stone but I cannot find a locate contractor willing and able to use it. So I'm looking for the next best solution.
I am hoping there is some experience with both products on this forum that can give me some guidance.
I would appreciate any input.
Thank you

Hi, I need to do a fix on my front porch along with some repointing.
Is a fix like this even possible? and if so, what mortar or cement do I need to use so it'll hold up.
Thanks,
Joe
