Masonry repair, same process
Lintels, waterproofing, restorations — still the five steps. Operating since 1991.
Our process
- 1 The Full Breadth of the Craft Our services encompass repointing weathered joints, replacing spalled brick, rebuilding chimneys, leveling steps, and restoring stone sills and lintels. Each material and period dictates its own methodology. A 1920s brick bungalow and a 1970s ranch are not repaired identically—nor should they be.
- 2 Older Homes Require Restraint Many the established northwest suburbs homes predate 1960, featuring soft, hand-fired brick that demands breathable lime-based mortars. Hard modern Portland mixes trap moisture and destroy vintage brick faces within a few winters. We match mortar composition, hue, and tooling to the original work.
- 3 When Repair Cannot Wait A leaning chimney, loose parapet, or dislodged brick constitutes a hazard, not a cosmetic concern. We prioritize urgent structural repairs and can stabilize precarious masonry promptly. If any element of your home appears unsound, seek a professional evaluation.
- 4 On-site Assessment Schedule a site visit in Mount Prospect and nearby IL communities.
