Brick. Block. Stone. New construction and repair across the city since 2002. Masonry is at the core of what we do.
Two decades laying brick and block in Chicago. We know the city's masonry stock — old and new — and we know what to do with it.
New construction. Brick repair. Stone work. Damaged lintels. Failing parapet walls. If it's masonry, we've done it. Residential and commercial, across the city.
Each material has its own behavior, its own failure modes, and its own right way to handle it.
Standard, modular, and historic-match for older Chicago buildings.
Structural block for foundations, walls, and load-bearing applications.
Limestone, granite, and dimensioned stone for accents and full builds.
Split-face, ground-face, and decorative concrete masonry units.
Custom features, columns, pillars, and finished masonry details.
Most masonry problems are repairable. We'll tell you straight when that's the right call — and when it isn't.

Planters, accent walls, decorative inlays, and custom ornamental masonry.
