Buffalo Grove's Premier Masonry & Tuckpointing Experts
Buffalo Grove grew rapidly during the 1970s-1990s suburban building boom, producing a village of well-maintained colonials, ranches, and townhomes on generously sized lots. While these homes are younger than North Shore properties, they are now entering the maintenance window where mortar joints, chimneys, and concrete flatwork require professional attention.
Your Buffalo Grove Masonry Experts
Buffalo Grove grew rapidly during the 1970s-1990s suburban building boom, producing a village of well-maintained colonials, ranches, and townhomes on generously sized lots. While these homes are younger than North Shore properties, they are now entering the maintenance window where mortar joints, chimneys, and concrete flatwork require professional attention.
Buffalo Grove homeowners are often surprised to learn that their 30-40 year old homes need masonry work. The brick looks fine from the street, but the mortar joints between those bricks have been deteriorating with every freeze-thaw cycle since the home was built. Concrete driveways and patios on Buffalo Grove's clay soils settle and crack faster than on sandier ground. And chimneys - fully exposed to weather with no protection - deteriorate ahead of the rest of the home. Proactive maintenance at this stage prevents the cascading water damage that turns a $3,000 tuckpointing project into a $15,000 interior repair.
When you call Delta Masonry, you're calling your neighbors. We live here, we work here, and we take pride in preserving Buffalo Grove's homes and buildings for the next generation.

Common Masonry Problems in Buffalo Grove
Concrete flatwork settling and cracking
Buffalo Grove's clay-heavy soils expand and contract with moisture changes, causing concrete driveways, patios, and walkways to settle unevenly and crack. This is the most common masonry-related complaint from Buffalo Grove homeowners.
Builder-grade mortar failure at the 30-40 year mark
Homes from Buffalo Grove's primary building era (1970s-1990s) used production mortar that is now reaching the end of its expected service life. Joint erosion is visible on most homes of this vintage, particularly on exposed facades.
Chimney crown and cap deterioration
Chimneys on Buffalo Grove homes are aging alongside the mortar joints. Crowns poured without reinforcement are cracking, and original chimney caps have corroded. Water entry through the chimney top accelerates deterioration of the entire chimney structure.
Featured Buffalo Grove Project
Removed and replaced a settled, cracked 40-foot concrete driveway with new 4-inch air-entrained slab on compacted base, including proper control joint spacing for our climate.
