Tuckpointing, brick and stone restoration, chimney repair, and commercial masonry, handled start to finish by our own crew.
A good repair is won before the mortar ever goes in: matching the mix, cutting the joints clean, and tying into sound masonry. Skip that and it fails again in a season. Do it right and it lasts for decades.
That is the whole business here. Smg Masonry Restoration handles tuckpointing, brick and stone restoration, chimney repair, and commercial masonry restoration across the Greater Des Plaines area, done by our own crew and never subbed out.
Cracked, crumbling, or missing mortar cut out and repointed to match the original joint, before water gets in.
