Joint restoration on post-war brick flats
Skokie's mid-century brick multi-flats and ranches show open joints first on windward walls. We tuckpoint with color-matched mortar suited to post-war units, sealing paths water uses during freeze-thaw without sealing the wall into a hard shell.
Our process
- 1 Your home is our neighborhood too It's common to see mortar start to crumble or tiny gaps appearing between bricks; cold winters across the North Shore do that to homes over time. Water finds its way into those openings, freezes, and gradually pushes them wider each season. We are happy to take a look and give you a straightforward, honest assessment.
- 2 Every detail receives our full attention We carefully remove the worn mortar, clean out the joints thoroughly, and personally mix a fresh batch to perfectly align with your home's existing color and texture. Each joint is then shaped to mirror the original profile cut by your bricklayers. This is work that deserves patience, and we will never rush it on your property.
- 3 Our commitment lasts long after the project ends Quality tuckpointing should protect your home for twenty-five to thirty years, and we fully guarantee every joint we complete. As a local family business, you will see us around Skokie—at the store, around town. Our reputation travels with our truck and is embedded in our craftsmanship.
