Masonry Contractor Serving the Northwest Suburbs

Masonry Services for Northwest Suburban Properties

Properties in Northbrook, Glenview, Deerfield, Arlington Heights, Palatine, and Buffalo Grove do not all use the same brick, mortar, concrete, or structural systems. The appropriate repair depends on the existing materials, the location of the damage, previous work, drainage, movement, and exposure.

We evaluate the affected area before recommending whether it needs a localized repair, broader restoration, or replacement of a deteriorated section.

Brick Walls and Mortar Joints

Cracked mortar, open joints, loose brick, and surface deterioration can allow additional moisture into an exterior wall.

Our brick and mortar services include:

• Tuckpointing and repointing
• Individual brick replacement
• Spalling brick repair
• Cracked masonry repair
• Garage wall repair
• Foundation masonry repair
• Parapet and exterior wall repair
• Mortar color and joint-profile matching when practical

Replacement materials are selected based on the existing masonry rather than one standard specification for every property.

Chimney and Roofline Masonry Repair

Chimneys extend above the roofline and are exposed to rain, snow, wind, and repeated temperature changes.

Depending on the existing condition, chimney work may include:

• Chimney tuckpointing
• Brick replacement
• Crown repair
• Flashing-related repair
• Waterproofing
• Partial rebuilding
• Complete rebuilding

We inspect the chimney masonry and visible surrounding conditions before recommending a repair scope.

Lintels and Masonry Above Openings

Steel lintels support masonry above many windows, doors, and garage openings. As exposed steel corrodes, expansion can contribute to cracking, displacement, open joints, or rust staining.

Repairs may involve removing affected brick, repairing or replacing the steel support, and rebuilding the masonry above the opening.

Steps, Stoops, and Entry Masonry

Entry masonry is exposed to foot traffic, water, snow, deicing products, settlement, and seasonal temperature changes.

We repair:

• Brick steps
• Stone steps
• Concrete steps
• Stoops and landings
• Cheek walls
• Loose masonry
• Open mortar joints
• Cracked or displaced units

The repair method depends on whether the damage is limited to the surface or involves the underlying structure.

Our concrete services cover exterior surfaces such as:

• Driveways
• Patios
• Walkways
• Sidewalks
• Steps
• Stoops
• Landings
• Small exterior slabs

Project recommendations depend on the condition of the existing concrete, drainage, base preparation, access, demolition requirements, reinforcement, finish, and intended use.

Stone Masonry and Exterior Waterproofing

We repair and install natural stone, manufactured stone, veneers, walls, columns, entrances, steps, and landscape masonry.

For eligible masonry surfaces, a breathable water-repellent treatment may help reduce water absorption. Waterproofing should only be considered after failed mortar, damaged masonry, drainage problems, and other visible defects have been addressed.

One Service Area With Different Property Types

The Northwest Suburbs service area includes several distinct types of development.

Northbrook, Glenview, and Deerfield contain established residential areas, commercial corridors, and properties of different construction periods. Glenview also includes The Glen, which was developed after the former naval air station closed.

Arlington Heights and Palatine combine residential neighborhoods with active downtown districts centered around Metra stations. These areas include detached homes, multi-unit buildings, storefronts, mixed-use properties, and commercial masonry.

Buffalo Grove extends across both Cook and Lake Counties. Property location, municipal jurisdiction, building type, and access may affect project planning and scheduling.

These differences are why masonry repairs should be based on the individual property rather than a standard repair package for an entire community.

When to Request a Masonry Evaluation

Consider scheduling an evaluation when you notice:

• Mortar falling out of brick joints
• Cracks that continue through several bricks or joints
• Brick surfaces flaking or breaking apart
• Rust staining above a window, door, or garage
• Loose brick or stone around an entrance
• A cracked or deteriorated chimney crown
• Leaning or displaced chimney masonry
• Water entering around an exterior masonry area
• Uneven or unstable steps
• Concrete that is cracked, settled, or deteriorated
• Previous repairs separating from the original masonry

Some symptoms may have more than one possible cause. An evaluation helps determine whether the visible damage is isolated or connected to a broader masonry, drainage, or structural condition.

What Your Written Estimate Should Identify

Depending on the project, the estimate should explain:

• Where the work will be completed
• The visible condition being addressed
• Whether the repair is localized or covers a larger area
• The proposed repair method
• Which materials are included
• Material-matching limitations
• Access or staging requirements
• The project price
• Applicable workmanship-warranty terms

Review the scope carefully so you understand what is and is not included before approving the work.
