Services
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing restores deteriorated mortar joints in brick and stone structures to maintain structural integrity. This process prevents water infiltration, enhances aesthetic appeal, and extends building lifespan. Our skilled masons use matching mortar compounds to create seamless repairs that protect against Chicago's harsh weather conditions while preserving architectural character.
Chimney Repair
Chimney repair services address structural damage to masonry chimneys including cracked crowns, damaged flues, and deteriorated flashing. We identify water intrusion points and repair components like terracotta liners and metal caps to restore functionality. Our solutions prevent further damage to roof systems and interior structures while ensuring safe ventilation for heating systems.
Parapet Wall Repair
Parapet wall repair addresses safety hazards and structural deterioration in rooftop masonry walls. We fix spalled bricks, replace damaged coping, and reinforce structural integrity to prevent falling debris. Our waterproofing techniques protect against moisture penetration while maintaining the wall's protective function for rooftop equipment and building occupants.
Steel Lintel Replacement
Steel lintel replacement addresses rust-damaged structural supports above windows and doors. We install new corrosion-resistant lintels to prevent brick displacement and cracking. This critical repair maintains structural stability in aging masonry buildings by restoring load-bearing capacity where openings meet vertical walls.
Masonry Caulking
Masonry caulking creates weather-resistant seals in brick and stone joints to prevent water intrusion. We apply specialized sealants that accommodate thermal expansion while blocking moisture pathways. This service protects against freeze-thaw damage, efflorescence, and air leakage while maintaining aesthetic continuity in masonry facades.
