Delta is based at 1237 Trinity Place in Libertyville.
Our location allows us to serve communities throughout northern Chicagoland, including Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Highland Park, Deerfield, Vernon Hills, Winnetka, Wilmette, Northbrook, Glenview, Evanston, Arlington Heights and Park Ridge.
Properties across this region include historic brick homes, postwar houses, commercial facades, chimneys, limestone buildings and newer masonry construction. These buildings do not always require the same materials or repair methods.
Our goal is to understand the property before defining the work. Building age, masonry condition, moisture exposure, previous repairs and material compatibility can all affect the recommended scope.

Delta provides masonry repair and restoration services for brick, mortar, chimneys, concrete, limestone and natural stone. Our principal services include:
Our Approach to Masonry Repair
Visible masonry damage does not always reveal the full cause of the problem.
Before preparing an estimate, we consider:
- The location and extent of the deterioration
- The condition of the existing brick, mortar or stone
- Moisture and drainage conditions
- Earlier repairs
- Material compatibility
- Access and staging requirements
A cracked brick, open mortar joint or leaking chimney may be connected to moisture, movement, corrosion, failed flashing or an incompatible previous repair.
The written estimate should explain where the work will take place, what materials or components will be repaired and what method is being proposed.
Our objective is to preserve sound masonry, replace failed materials where necessary and recommend a scope appropriate for the building.
Experience With Older Masonry
Many properties across the North Shore and northern suburbs contain older brick, limestone and mortar.
Repairs to these buildings require careful material selection. Mortar that is too hard for older brick may contribute to additional deterioration. Replacement brick and stone should also be evaluated for appropriate size, texture, appearance and compatibility.
For older and historic properties, we focus on preserving original materials where practical and avoiding unnecessary replacement.
