Your Glenview Masonry Experts
Glenview's residential landscape spans from established 1950s neighborhoods to the modern developments at The Glen, creating a village where masonry conditions range from aging mid-century brick to newer construction settling on redeveloped land. With nearly 50,000 residents, Glenview represents one of the largest service communities in our coverage area.
Glenview's size and diversity mean its masonry needs are equally varied. Established neighborhoods have homes approaching 60-70 years of age where chimney and mortar deterioration are pressing concerns. Newer developments face settlement-related cracking as the soil beneath them continues to compact. And across the village, concrete flatwork is reaching the end of its service life under the stress of Northern Illinois winters. A masonry contractor serving Glenview needs to be comfortable with both mid-century residential construction and modern building methods.

Common Masonry Problems in Glenview
Chimney flashing failure causing roof leaks
Where the chimney meets the roof is the most leak-prone point on any Glenview home. Decades of thermal expansion and contraction loosen the metal flashing, and deteriorating mortar joints above the flashing line allow water to run down the chimney and into the roof structure.
Settlement cracks in newer foundations and additions
Glenview's newer developments (including The Glen area) were built on previously developed land. Soil conditions in these areas can lead to differential settlement that cracks foundation masonry and creates water entry points.
Concrete driveway and patio deterioration
Glenview's older concrete flatwork has endured decades of freeze-thaw cycling and de-icing salt. Surface scaling, control joint failure, and slab settling are common on driveways and patios that have reached the 25-30 year mark.
