MASONRY SERVICE IN EVERGREEN PARK, IL

Common signs that you need masonry repair include crumbling mortar, loose or missing bricks, cracks in walls or your chimney, flaking brick surfaces, or water leaks inside your home. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to schedule a repair or inspection appointment.

Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles are the main reason for brick and mortar deterioration. Moisture can get into tiny cracks, freeze, expand, and push the masonry apart, spreading the damage. Over time, this creates larger cracks, gaps, loose bricks, and overall structural weakness. Wind, age, poor drainage, and improper past repairs can also contribute to masonry issues.

Tuckpointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh, color-matched mortar. This restores the structure’s stability, prevents water intrusion, and improves the aesthetic of your brickwork. Tuckpointing is an effective way to extend the lifespan of your brick.

Repair project timelines vary based on the amount of damage and the size of the structure. Small spot tuckpointing jobs may take a few hours, while a full wall or chimney repair can take multiple days. After a site evaluation, our team will provide you with a clear timeline before work begins.

Our team consists of licensed, highly trained masonry professionals with more than 30 years of experience. Our work is completed to the highest industry standards and comes backed by a workmanship warranty.
