Your Arlington Heights Masonry Experts

Arlington Heights is one of the largest suburbs in our service area, with a housing stock that spans from 1960s ranches to modern new construction. The village's masonry challenges are typical of post-war suburban development - aging mortar, chimney deterioration, and increasingly, stone veneer failures and concrete damage from decades of de-icing salt application.

Arlington Heights' large, diverse housing stock means the village faces masonry issues at every age bracket. Older homes from the 1960s-1970s have mortar joints and chimneys approaching end of life. Homes from the 1980s-1990s are experiencing stone veneer attachment failures and lintel corrosion. Across all eras, heavy de-icing salt use is taking a toll on concrete driveways, steps, and sidewalks. The volume of masonry work needed in Arlington Heights makes contractor selection important - a rushed job with the wrong materials will not survive another 20 Northern Illinois winters.

When you call Delta Masonry, you're calling your neighbors. We live here, we work here, and we take pride in preserving Arlington Heights's homes and buildings for the next generation.

Common Masonry Problems in Arlington Heights

Stone veneer detachment on newer homes

Stone veneer on Arlington Heights homes built in the 1980s-2000s relies on metal ties anchoring it to the structure. Corrosion of these ties, mortar failure behind the veneer, and moisture accumulation can cause sections of veneer to separate and become a safety hazard.

Concrete step and driveway cracking from salt damage

Heavy residential use of rock salt and calcium chloride de-icers penetrates concrete surfaces. The chemical reaction degrades the cement paste, and freeze-thaw cycling then breaks apart the weakened material. Salt-damaged concrete cannot be effectively patched - it needs replacement.

Chimney deterioration on colonials and bi-levels

Arlington Heights colonials and bi-levels have chimneys that are now 30-50+ years old. Standard mortar on these chimneys has reached end of life, and many crowns were poured without adequate reinforcement, leading to cracking and water intrusion.

Arlington Heights-Specific Masonry Questions

Why is my stone veneer pulling away from the wall? +
Stone veneer is attached to your home's structure with metal ties embedded in mortar. Over time, moisture corrodes these ties or deteriorates the mortar bed behind the veneer. When the attachment fails, the heavy stone separates from the wall. This is a safety issue that should be addressed promptly. We remove the affected sections, replace ties and mortar, and re-secure the veneer.
Resurfacing (a thin overlay) only works if the base concrete is structurally sound. Salt damage typically penetrates below the surface, weakening the concrete internally. In most cases, the damaged sections need to be removed and replaced with new air-entrained concrete designed for freeze-thaw and de-icer resistance.
Yes. We work throughout Arlington Heights, from the downtown area to the residential neighborhoods along Rand Road, Golf Road, and Palatine Road. While we are based in Libertyville (about 30 minutes away), we have completed numerous projects across the village and schedule Arlington Heights work efficiently.
