Historic Commercial →What Commercial Masonry Actually Covers
Facade Tuckpointing
Joint removal to 3/4 inch minimum and replacement with ASTM C270 mortar matched to the era of construction. Most common scope on Chicagoland commercial: $15,000 to $80,000 per elevation depending on height and access.
Lintel and Shelf Angle Replacement
Rusted steel lintels above windows and doors push masonry outward (oxide jacking) and crack adjacent brick. Replacement requires temporary support, careful brick salvage, and proper through-wall flashing.
Parapet and Coping
Parapets fail before any other masonry element because they take weather on three sides. Repair scope ranges from coping replacement to full parapet rebuild with new through-wall flashing and reglet integration with the roof system.
Sealant Joint Replacement
Control joints and expansion joints on commercial buildings need 15 to 20 year sealant replacement. Failed sealants admit water that destroys interior finishes and accelerates masonry damage. Backer rod + ASTM C920 silicone or urethane sealant by application.
Crown and Chimney
Multi-story commercial buildings with masonry chimneys, decorative crowns, and rooftop turrets need specialized access and proper detailing on the cap to shed water without trapping it against the masonry below.
Below-Grade Waterproofing
Commercial building foundations and below-grade masonry in Chicagoland face hydrostatic pressure and freeze-thaw cycling. Repair includes targeted excavation, brick replacement where face has spalled, and cementitious or membrane waterproofing systems.
