Services
Residential Construction
We specialize in constructing durable, aesthetically pleasing brick residential buildings across Chicago. Our team handles every phase from planning to completion, ensuring compliance with local codes and personalized design preferences. Clients benefit from our decades of experience and commitment to using premium materials.
Tuckpointing
Our tuckpointing services restore structural integrity and enhance curb appeal by replacing damaged mortar joints. This prevents water infiltration and extends the lifespan of brickwork. We match existing mortar colors precisely to maintain visual consistency in historic and modern properties alike.
Chimney Repairs
We inspect and repair chimneys for cracks, water damage, and structural issues. Services include crown replacement, flue relining, and masonry restoration. Our work ensures safe, efficient operation while preserving the chimney's original appearance and functionality for residential and commercial buildings.
Concrete Replacement
From sidewalks to garage floors, we replace damaged concrete with durable, code-compliant installations. Our process includes proper grading for drainage and reinforcement for load-bearing applications. Clients receive long-lasting surfaces that enhance property safety and value across residential and commercial sites.
Lintel Replacement
We replace rusted or damaged steel lintels that support masonry above openings. Our corrosion-resistant replacements prevent structural failure and water intrusion. The process includes proper flashing installation to extend service life, ensuring safety and compliance with building standards for commercial and residential structures.
