TUCKPOINTING & BRICKWORK
Tuckpointing refers to the process of repairing mortar joints in stone or brick masonry walls by grinding or raking out the old mortar to a certain depth, and then filling in with new mortar. If motor joints are not repaired, it causes moisture to break down the stone or brick masonry wall and possibly cause moisture problems behind it.
We can help to restore your exteriors from the effects of severe weather, ground and building movement, and other environmental factors. Depending on the size and scope, we perform spot, 100 percent, and full-grind tuckpointing services to create stunning exteriors and help match your building restoration goals.
CHIMNEY REPAIRS
Cracks and brick deterioration happen frequently on chimneys. Needing chimney repairs is not uncommon with hot air and moisture traveling inside the cavity of the chimney.
Have your chimney inspected and cleaned, and protect your chimney from leaks, cracking, and deterioration, which may result in costly replacement. We are happy to perform total re-builds with new flues to simple spot and tuckpointing repairs in order to stop roof-related masonry leaks.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
While we do it occasionally for our A customers only, we can handle most room additions and smaller new construction projects. We also do excellent masonry structure reinforcement and tuckpointing as proven by our glowing testimonials.
Thin stone facades to the base of homes, fireplaces, and accent walls are a remarkable way to boost the value and look of your home or business.
SEALING, CAULKING & PAINTING
Protect and beautify the exterior and interior for masonry structure reinforcement with a modern application of trendy colored paint to give your home or business a needed facelift.
Many condos in Chicago were poorly constructed in the construction boom, leaving many nasty leaks on the CMU facades. Scanning these areas for open holes and joints and then filling them, along with a coat or two of masonry water sealant provides the leak relief these boards need for happy neighbor relations!
Caulking around expansion joints, and limestone copings at rooftops rounds out our masonry services when we can properly seal these crucial components that keep a home or building dry and secure.
LINTELS, OPENINGS & INFILL
A lintel is a horizontal member which is placed across the openings like doors, etc. It takes the load coming from the structure above it and gives support. Leaks caused by a rusted steel lintel?
Welcome to Chicago! These lintels need to be exposed to prime, paint, and flash to make them watertight. You may even need new steel installed. We specialize in lintel replacement, so you can be confident in the structure of your home or building.
Have a door you need moved or added to your business? We can help make the opening for you to match the exact size requirements for your door contractor. We even close up doors for you. That’s called infilling in our world!
LIMESTONE REPAIR
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed principally of calcium carbonate or the double carbonate of calcium and magnesium. Weathering may have a degrading effect on the appearance and structural soundness of limestone so often limestone repairs are necessary. Factors include rain, snow, temperature, wind, and atmospheric pollutants.
Generally, these factors act in combination with one another or with other agents of deterioration. A building’s exterior provides protection from the elements and conveys its historic character. This is why building restoration is so important. It not only restores, it also conveys history, and that can never be replaced.
