About the company

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.

Our journey
A craft handled with respect
The story of Skokie started locally over a workshop table, with a founder skilled in brickwork, a single truck, and the idea that a company's reputation rests on the quality of its last chimney repair.
We approach each project the same way: we treat your property as if it were our own, we keep explanations clear, and we only suggest work your masonry actually requires. After Local crews and local projects, we're now called by the children and grandchildren of our original clients.
For bungalows, two-flats, and ranch homes throughout Skokie and nearby communities, local crewss repoint, fix, and renew brick and stone — and each project comes with local crews's written package scope.
