Services
Tuckpointing
Our tuckpointing services restore deteriorated mortar joints in brick structures. We carefully remove damaged mortar and replace it with color-matched material to enhance structural integrity and aesthetics. This process prevents water infiltration while maintaining historical accuracy for Chicago's vintage buildings.
Chimney Repair
We specialize in comprehensive chimney repairs including crown replacement, flue liner installation, and firebox restoration. Our technicians address water damage, cracked masonry, and ventilation issues to ensure safe, efficient chimney operation for residential properties across Chicagoland.
Masonry Waterproofing
Our waterproofing solutions protect concrete block structures from water intrusion. We apply specialized sealants and install proper flashing systems to prevent mold growth and structural damage in both new and historic buildings throughout the Chicago area.
Parapet Wall Repair
We repair and rebuild parapet walls on flat-roof buildings, replacing damaged coping stones and reinforcing structural integrity. Our team addresses water infiltration issues while maintaining architectural aesthetics for two-flats and commercial properties in Chicago's historic neighborhoods.
Lintel Replacement
Our experts replace corroded steel lintels over door and window openings. We install rust-inhibitor coated replacements with proper flashing to prevent water damage and maintain structural stability in residential and commercial masonry buildings.
