Northfield's Premier Masonry & Tuckpointing Experts

Northfield is a small, affluent Cook County village with a housing stock split between pre-war Tudors and Colonials and post-war mid-century ranches. This split means Northfield masonry work requires two different approaches: soft historic materials on the older homes, and conventional modern materials on the newer construction. Getting the distinction right is the difference between a repair that lasts and a repair that causes new damage.

Northfield's pre-war homes are at the age where most have been repointed at least once, and many of those repointings used the wrong mortar. Identifying Portland-mortar damage early, before brick face spalling becomes widespread, preserves the original masonry and avoids expensive brick replacement. On the post-war side, Northfield's ranch homes are reaching the end of their first maintenance cycle, with chimneys, mortar joints, and flashing all due for attention. In both cases, the mature tree canopy that makes Northfield attractive also creates persistent moisture on shaded walls, accelerating the timeline for masonry maintenance compared to sunnier exposures.
