Tuckpointing In Chicago

Fine, Professional Brick Work and Restoration

Tuckpointing

Brick buildings look elegant and classy. Their classic charm makes them very appealing. However, over time, the mortar between the bricks may wear off, making the structure look very unaesthetic and structurally weak. Tuckpointing is the solution against such damages. Mad Masonry is a specialist at residential & commercial tuckpointing in Chicago.

Why Tuckpointing?

Tuckpointing is the process of refilling and repairing those worn off parts of the wall. This process also helps reinstate the structural stability of the building. It extends the life of the brick masonry. Tuckpointing is used as an effective preventive measure as it protects the building from structural deterioration. It prevents the entry of moisture into the wall.

Essentially, tuckpointing can be used for three purposes:

Repairing the worn out mortar
Reestablishing the strength of the brick wall
Enhancing the visual appeal of the building

We can also change the color of the mortar in between the bricks to give the wall a completely new appearance.

Tuckpointing Services

At Mad Masonry, we offer two main types of tuckpointing services:

Solid tuckpointing
Spot tuckpointing

If the brick masonry has undergone severe wear and tear and the entire wall requires treatment, solid tuckpointing is the best solution. On the other hand, if specific problems – such as an open hole in the wall and cracked or damaged sections – need to be addressed, spot tuckpointing is recommended. As expert tuckpointing contractors in Boston MA, we offer both types of services.

Testimonials

Mad Masonry was one of three quotes I received and was actually the higher of the three, but I felt given the scope of the work that this was a better fit. Tom, arrived on-time (he was actually early which worked out well) and thoroughly looked at all areas of the building including the roof. He provided me with an estimate in a timely matter. The crew arrived on time the first day of the job, and they were responsive to inquries I had during the project The work was completed on time and as stated in the quote. I would work with Mad Masonry again. They left the area neat and secure each day.

Recently purchased a home from the 1890’s that needed major tuckpointing work on two walls of deteriorating brick. Mad Masonry completed the job in record time and did a great job of limiting the inconvenience to our neighbors. Their work is excellent, reasonably priced, and they did a great job with clean up as well. I would absolutely use them again and recommend to friends.

I own a small management company consisting of around 100 buildings in Chicago. It is hard to find a good and responsive masonry contractor in Chicago – I would know. Pete and Tom really are masonry experts and you only have to be with them on-site for 1 minute in order to realize that. Whether it is a small tuckpointing job or a complete parapet wall rebuild, they are always Johnny-on-the-spot. In the management business you always have to present your board of directors 3 different quotes for anything you do and Mad Masonry always comes in the least expensive or very close to it. Sometimes my boards are weary about going with the least expensive contractor because they have the mindset that you get what you pay for. In those instances I always push for an on-site meeting with Pete or Tom and 100% of the time Mad Masonry gets the job because they put the board at ease. They do quality work at a fraction of the price of other reliable masonry contractors in Chicago. Their crew is respectful and they work FAST. I have nothing but great things to say about Mad Masonry, their work and their prices. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them without hesitation.

Benchmark General Contracting used Mad Masonry as a sub for a 250K, multi-unit complex. The scope of work was to re-caulk over 400 windows, paint the entire structure and repair any concrete according to the engineer’s report. They did a great job and finished on time. Clearly we would work with them again on another project.
