Your Niles Masonry Experts
Niles is a compact suburb with a solid base of 1950s-1970s brick homes and active commercial corridors along Milwaukee Avenue, Touhy, and Golf Road. After 60+ years of Northern Illinois weather, both the residential and commercial masonry in Niles is reaching the age where mortar joints need professional attention.
At 60-70 years old, Niles' post-war masonry has reached the point where mortar maintenance is no longer optional. Joints that have protected your brick for decades are now eroding, allowing moisture into wall cavities where it causes hidden structural damage. Commercial buildings along the major corridors face the same issue compounded by deferred maintenance. The cost of tuckpointing now is a fraction of the cost of repairing water damage, replacing structural elements, or rebuilding walls that have deteriorated past the point of repair.
When you call Delta Masonry, you're calling your neighbors. We live here, we work here, and we take pride in preserving Niles's homes and buildings for the next generation.

Common Masonry Problems in Niles
Aging mortar on 60+ year old homes
Most Niles homes were built in the 1950s-1960s, meaning mortar joints are now 60-70 years old. Even quality Type S mortar reaches its service life at this age in our climate. Eroded joints allow water behind the brick, leading to interior moisture problems and accelerated brick deterioration.
Commercial building deferred maintenance
Niles has busy commercial corridors along Milwaukee Avenue, Touhy, and Golf Road with aging storefronts that have deferred masonry maintenance for years. Crumbling mortar, failed lintels, and loose brickwork on commercial buildings create code violations and safety hazards.
Step cracking from foundation settlement
Some areas of Niles experience gradual foundation settlement that produces characteristic stair-step cracking in brick walls. The cracking follows the mortar joints in a diagonal pattern, widening over time as the foundation continues to move.
