Delta – Masonry and Tuckpointing provides professional masonry repair and restoration services throughout Chicago’s North Shore. Based in Libertyville, our team serves residential and commercial properties in Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Glencoe, Evanston, and nearby communities.
We repair deteriorated mortar, damaged brick, aging chimneys, limestone and natural stone, rusting lintels, steps, stoops, and other exterior masonry. Each property is evaluated individually so the recommended repair method and materials are appropriate for the existing construction.
Contact us when you notice open mortar joints, cracked or spalling brick, chimney deterioration, rust staining, loose stone, damaged entry masonry, or recurring moisture around an exterior wall.
North Shore properties range from older residences and lakefront homes to newer construction, commercial buildings, associations, and multi-unit properties.
The correct repair depends on the existing materials, age of the masonry, wall exposure, drainage, previous repairs, and the extent of deterioration. We inspect the affected area before recommending whether the property needs a localized repair, broader restoration, or replacement of a deteriorated section.
Open, cracked, recessed, or loose mortar joints can allow more water into a masonry wall.
Our tuckpointing and repointing work may include removing deteriorated mortar, preparing the joints, selecting a compatible replacement mortar, and finishing the new joints to coordinate with the surrounding masonry.
Explore Tuckpointing ServicesBrick can crack, loosen, or lose its outer surface because of moisture, movement, corrosion, incompatible repairs, or normal aging.
We replace damaged units where practical and repair the surrounding mortar so the completed area integrates with the existing wall as closely as available materials allow.
Explore Brick Repair ServicesChimneys are exposed above the roofline to rain, snow, temperature changes, and wind from multiple directions.
Repairs may involve chimney tuckpointing, individual brick replacement, crown repair, flashing-related work, waterproofing, partial rebuilding, or complete rebuilding. The required scope depends on how much of the chimney remains sound.
Explore Chimney Repair ServicesLimestone and natural stone details require repair materials suited to the existing stone and mortar.
We work on stone veneers, walls, entrances, steps, columns, copings, sills, and architectural details. Repairs may include mortar-joint work, resetting loose units, replacing damaged stone, patching eligible areas, or rebuilding deteriorated sections.
Explore Stone MasonrySteel lintels above windows, doors, and garage openings can rust and expand. Warning signs may include horizontal cracking, displaced brick, open joints, or rust staining.
A repair may require removing masonry above the opening, repairing or replacing the steel support, and rebuilding the affected brickwork.
Explore Lintel RepairLoose brick, open joints, cracked stone, displaced units, and deteriorated concrete can affect the safety and appearance of an entrance.
We repair brick, stone, and concrete steps, stoops, landings, cheek walls, and related entry masonry.
Explore Step and Stoop RepairWater-repellent treatment may help reduce absorption through eligible masonry, but it should not be used to cover failed mortar, damaged brick, open flashing areas, or active drainage problems.
Necessary repairs should be completed before a compatible masonry treatment is applied.
Explore Masonry WaterproofingOlder masonry should not automatically be repaired with the same materials used on newer construction.
Before choosing mortar or replacement masonry, we consider:
Not every older home contains the same type of brick or mortar. Material selection should be based on the actual masonry rather than the construction date alone.

The age of the property alone is not enough to specify the mortar.
We select materials that coordinate with the existing masonry as closely as practical.
Exact matches may not be available because original products can be discontinued and masonry changes in appearance through age and weather exposure.
