The rest of the truck
Balustrades, lime, powerwashing, porch brick. If it is masonry on an Evanston or Wilmette street I probably already have a photo of a neighbor’s wall.
Masonry Repair for Evanston homes
The Full Breadth of the Craft
Our expertise spans repointing weathered joints, replacing spalled brick, rebuilding chimneys, leveling steps, and restoring stone sills and lintels. Each material and period demands its specific methodology. A 1920s brick bungalow and a 1970s ranch are not restored identically — and never should be.
Older Homes Require Restraint
Numerous the North Shore homes predate 1960, and their soft, hand-fired brick necessitates permeable lime-based mortars. Hard modern Portland mixtures trap moisture and destroy antique brick faces within a few winters. We match mortar composition, color, and tooling to the original craftsmanship.
When Repair Cannot Wait
A leaning chimney, loose parapet, or dislodged brick is not a cosmetic concern — it is a hazard to those below. We prioritize urgent structural repairs and can stabilize precarious masonry promptly. If something on your home appears amiss, seek a professional evaluation.
