Repairing brick and mortar in Downers Grove and nearby communities locally. Honest pricing. Reliable craftsmanship. A written estimate you can count on.
Our history
Where we came from
Back locally, Downers Grove launched with just a single truck and crew. The founder saw too many homeowners get shortchanged — faulty mortar patches, chimneys 'repaired' only to leak again soon after.
That's why we stick to basics. Arrive when promised. Document the problem. Provide a written estimate. Use mortar that fits your brick. Then guarantee the results. After Local crews and local projects, most folks find us because a friend recommended us.
These days, our crews work all over Downers Grove and nearby communities on tuckpointing, brick fixes, and chimney repairs. Big or small, it's the same straightforward approach: documented process, fair pricing, and a solid clear written estimate on paper.

Our qualifications
Look us up — seriously
Clear written estimates
We hold along with general liability and project documentation for every project. Want to see proof? Just ask. We'll send the certificates before we begin.
Mortar matched precisely
Using the wrong mix can ruin vintage brick. For every older home, we test and blend to match the original, ensuring repairs hold up without damaging the brick surface.
Neighborhood masonry team
Our crews work full-time for us, not as unknown day labor. Every Downers Grove project includes a clear scope, matched mortar, and documented project documentation.
Direct-hire crews
We don't use day labor or subcontractors you've never met. Our crews are full-time employees who report to us — and to you.
