Neighborhood masons. No hassles.
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 estimate. 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 estimate.
