Masonry in Skokie, IL — What Makes It Different

Skokie (ZIPs 60076 and 60077) is a village of roughly 67,000 with one of the North Shore's largest stocks of 1940s–60s brick homes — block after block of classic Chicago-style brick bungalows and Georgians. Those post-war homes are now reaching the age where original mortar joints fail wholesale, which makes full-elevation repointing, rusted steel lintel replacement, and chimney crown rebuilds the most common masonry work we perform anywhere in the village. We match the mid-century mortar color and joint profile so the repair blends into the original elevation instead of striping it.

Skokie's other defining challenge is under the ground: the village sits on the flat, clay-rich former marshland once called the 'Big Marsh,' and that soil drains slowly and moves seasonally. The result is a steady stream of foundation seepage calls, sunken sidewalks, settled front walks and stoops, and heaved garage slabs. We pair epoxy crack injection and waterproofing with re-pours over properly compacted sub-base, so the fix addresses the slow-draining soil instead of just the surface symptom.

On the commercial side, the Village Crossing and Old Orchard corridors keep our crews busy with loading-area concrete, parking-panel replacement, ADA-compliant sidewalks, and storefront bollard installation — all specified with high-PSI, air-entrained mixes built for heavy traffic and winter salt loading.
