Our Services: Protecting Your Investment

At Gralak Masonry Contractors, we understand that your home or building is likely your most significant investment. It's essential to protect that investment from the damaging effects of weather, time, and wear. Our comprehensive range of masonry services helps safeguard your property's structural integrity and maintain its aesthetic appeal.

We specialize in various masonry services, including:

• Tuckpointing: This crucial process involves removing deteriorated mortar from brick, stone, concrete, and other masonry surfaces and replacing it with fresh mortar. This not only strengthens the structure but also restores its visual appeal.

• Waterproofing and Sealing: Protecting your masonry from water damage is paramount. We utilize high-quality waterproofing and sealing agents to create a barrier against moisture intrusion, preventing damage to your walls, foundations, and structures. This is particularly important in Chicago's climate, where freezing and thawing cycles can wreak havoc on masonry surfaces.

• Concrete Block Repair: We repair and replace concrete blocks, addressing issues such as cracks, crumbling mortar, and damaged surfaces. Our expertise extends to various types of concrete blocks, including split face blocks, cinder blocks, CMUs, and Renaissance blocks.

• Chimney Repair: Chimneys are subject to significant stress and exposure. We offer expert chimney repair services, including tuckpointing, rebuilding damaged sections, and replacing deteriorated mortar. We also handle the repair and replacement of other chimney-related components, ensuring safe and efficient fire operations.

Beyond the Basics: Specialty Services

In addition to these core services, Gralak Masonry Contractors offers a wide range of specialty masonry services, including:

• Flashing Systems: We expertly install, repair, and remove flashing systems around windows and doors, preventing water intrusion and protecting your home's structural integrity.
