A construction company that still does its own masonry.
Stanislaw Kowalczyk incorporated in 1984. We bid to HOA boards, property managers, and high-rise owners. Permits in the building's name. Swingstage when the elevation needs it. Occupants get a notice window. We are closed weekends because the building is not a weekend hobby.
Locally, we've been repairing brick and mortar in Des Plaines and nearby communities. Upfront pricing. Quality craftsmanship. An actual guarantee.
Our history
Our journey
Des Plaines began with a single truck and crew locally. The founder had seen too many homeowners get cheated — failing mortar repaired with incorrect materials, chimneys "repaired" that leaked again soon after.
We stick to basics. Arrive as scheduled. Document the issue. Provide a written package scope. Use proper mortar for your brick. Then guarantee our work. After Local crews and local projects, most new clients reach out because a neighbor recommended us.
Now we manage crews throughout Des Plaines and nearby communities for repointing, brick fixes, and chimney services. Small or large project, same promise: clear documentation, a reasonable price, and a written package scope.
