The artisans responsible for the repair
Performing tuckpointing and historic masonry repair locally — a singular quality of workmanship, whether the task involves one chimney or a whole building exterior.
Our origins
An art worth saving, a name worth trusting
Established locally by a craftsman trained on Chicago's historic greystones and brick two-flats, Elmhurst was built on a tradition of masonry that has endured for generations because the original work was done right. That principle remains our company's foundation.
Each undertaking commences with the same meticulous process: analyzing the original mortar for an exact match, photographing and recording areas of wear, and furnishing the homeowner with a detailed written plan before any work starts. After Local crews and local assignments, the majority of our projects still come from personal recommendations.
Our teams now rehabilitate brick, stone, and chimney masonry throughout Elmhurst and nearby communities — from century-old bungalows to mid-century ranch houses — and each job, large or small, is backed by an identical guarantee on our craftsmanship.
