How lakefront masonry jobs get paid
Condo boards and two-flats on the lake usually want the scope first, then a staged draw. We write it that way so the work can start without a mystery invoice.
Our history
An artisanal tradition that merits safeguarding, a standing worth maintaining
Evanston was established locally by a master mason who first learned his trade on Chicago's historic greystones and brick duplexes — structures whose brickwork has endured a hundred years because the initial work was executed correctly. This principle became the firm's guiding ethos.
Each undertaking commences with the same careful approach: we analyze the existing mortar to replicate its original composition, we photograph and record the deterioration, and the property owner is provided a documented plan before any joint is touched. After Local crews and local assignments, the majority of our commissions continue to arrive via recommendation.
Presently, our teams conserve brick, stone, and chimney masonry throughout Evanston and nearby communities — from hundred-year-old bungalows to ranch-style homes of the mid-century — and every task, whether minor or major, is backed by the same guarantee on our craftsmanship.
