Brick replacement as its own package scope
Never buried inside “masonry as needed.” Same 24–48 hour inspection and written package scope as every Delta job.
Our process
- 1 Chicago winters exact a toll on brickwork Water penetration into brick units, followed by freezing, causes the surface to spall—a frequent sight on vintage the established northwest suburbs residences. Subsequent cracking and efflorescence follow this moisture ingress. Each compromised brick becomes a conduit for further deterioration.
- 2 Salvaged and matched brick, never substitutes Pre-1960 brick is softer and dimensionally distinct from contemporary units. We procure reclaimed or custom-matched brick to align precisely in hue, texture, and size. Each replacement is bedded in breathable, compatible mortar, ensuring the repair vanishes into the original wall.
- 3 Repairs engineered to outlast the wall around them Isolated units can frequently be replaced in situ; more extensive damage may necessitate partial reconstruction. We first diagnose the root moisture cause before placing any brick. This foundational analysis distinguishes true restoration from mere repetition.
