What we fix
If it's brick, block or stone — it's what we do all day.
We perform the trade ourselves and manage the whole job, so nothing gets brokered out, marked up, or lost between subcontractors. Here's where people usually call us in.
Brick repair & rebuilds
Cracked, bowing or spalling brick taken back to something sound and watertight — the structural fixes a century-old wall eventually needs.
Tuckpointing & repointing
Crumbling mortar joints raked out and repacked with the right mix and color. The single most common — and most overdue — fix on Chicago's old stock.
Greystone & limestone restoration
Careful cleaning, repair and rebuilds for the limestone faces that give the city's two- to four-flats their character — done so they still look right.
Chimney repair & rebuilds
The shedding, leaning chimney that started keeping you up at night — taken down to good brick, rebuilt and re-flashed so the water stays out.
Lintels & shelf angles
Rusting steel above your windows and along the facade replaced before it expands and cracks the masonry it's supposed to be holding up.
Facade inspections & Critical Exam repairs
Help staying ahead of the city's facade-inspection cycle — and a crew that can actually carry out whatever the report calls for.
Build-outs & small commercial
Larger projects run by a team that performs the core trade itself — so the person managing your job actually understands what's being built.
"I don't know what's wrong"
That's most calls. We'll come walk the wall, tell you plainly what's going on, and put a fixed price in writing — at no cost and no obligation.
