Why Skokie
Constructed the way we'd want it done for our own home
Local crews have tended to local homes and buildings across the North Shore — with care, on schedule, and always with our name on the guarantee.
Price after we see the wall
No phone quote for brick. We walk the alley side and the street side, then email a wall-by-wall number.
Match the Chicago common, not the face
A lot of Skokie walls mix commons and face brick. We blend two mortars when the house needs it.
Weekday-only scaffold
We set scaffold Monday through Friday so weekends stay quiet on the block. Start date is on the email quote.
Keep the packet either way
The estimate and the completion photos stay yours. Sell or stay — the file is not locked to the house.

About the company
Hershenhouse Masonry — Skokie since 1983
We grew up off Oakton. First paying job was a two-flat on Kenneth Ave, summer of 83. We still look at every wall before the crew starts. The best way, go Hershenhouse.
Skokie IL 60076 · +1 Established4 555 0113 ·
We still donate leftover brick to the local Scout troop when a garage wall comes down. Not a program. Just what you do.
Jobs with street names

What We still take
Tuckpointing, chimneys, glass block, and the odd jobs
- Tuckpointing — the usual call. Color match is the whole job.
- Chimney Repair — rebuild, not a sweep.
- Glass-Block Windows — basement, the side door, the old milk chute.
- Caulking — around the openings after the masonry.
- Brick Repair — spalls, a corner the plow took.
- Many other arts — if it is masonry and it is Skokie, ask.
