Rolling Meadows's Premier Masonry & Tuckpointing Experts

Rolling Meadows was created from empty farmland by developer Kimball Hill, who began selling ranch homes to postwar veterans in 1953 and incorporated the city in 1955 - one of the earliest planned postwar suburbs in Chicagoland. Hill built affordable, no-frills ranch homes at scale for blue-collar families, and the city grew from fewer than 1,000 residents in the early 1950s to nearly 20,000 by 1970. That founding story shapes the masonry situation today: a city built by one developer in one decade means a housing stock of unusual uniformity, all entering the same maintenance window at the same time.

Rolling Meadows was Kimball Hill's project from day one - built fast, built affordable, and built for families who needed a home, not a showpiece. The production-grade mortar used in the 1953-1964 founding buildout has now reached 60-70 years old, and it is failing across the city's older sections in the predictable way that builder-grade materials from that era do. Concrete driveways poured in 1955 are well past their service life. Chimneys on Hill's original ranch designs have no structural reserves to draw on. Addressing these issues now - before water penetrates the wall assembly through failing mortar - protects the home's structure and value for the next generation of owners.
