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.

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.
