"My house and garage needed tuck pointing. The men arrive on time and worked straight through until they finished. They asked me to look at their work to make sure everything specified was done. They were courteous, efficient and I highly recommend this company. The cost was reasonable. I have no complaints about this company at all."

"Chimney work was outstanding. The new chimney matches the house brick in color and variations! The house is 60 years old. The mortar work replaced all of the holes and made the walls look new. I would use them for any future masonry or chimney work I need."

"After receiving two other estimates for tuck-pointing work needed on our small (7 unit) condo building, we decided to go with North Shore. The owner of the company, Les, came out personally and provided what I felt was an honest assessment of our issues (we were experiencing increasing ceiling leaking in the top floor units). He was clear to say he would not be the least expensive nor the most expensive, and he was correct. He got us on the schedule quickly and was in constant contact on when his team would arrive as weather was an issue. His team was courteous and left the work site clean. Shortly after the work was completed we had a huge storm, and we are happy to report did not experience any leaks. We plan on working with North Shore again come spring to complete our remaining tuck-pointing projects."

"The work completed to rebuild my entire brick and concrete porch speaks for itself. It is OUTSTANDING!!! E & B Masonary are very professional, easy to work with and takes great pride in their work!!! They did not overcharge the work for this project. They cleaned up after the work was finished, made every effort to answer all my questions, and obtained good brick samples for my approval before the start of the project!!! I have other work needed to be completed on my property and will not hesitate to use this company again!!!!! Everyone loves our new porch!!!!!"

"Very professional, quick, and knowledgeable. I did my homework on this job to weed out contractors that didn't know, for instance, that old Chicago common brick requires a different mortar than most new construction projects, and not only did Jagra get my quiz question right, they quoted me lower than most of the other estimates. Go with a masonry company for your masonry project, not a general contractor. Would definitely recommend Jagra."

"Carlos and his team did so much for me. They did tuck pointing of one side of my wall. They did tuck pointing on my chimney they even replaced some bricks. Carlos was so kind he went above and beyond for me and sealed a lot of my wall joints with flexible seal so water doesn’t enter any one my walls and damage anything. They even fixed 2 foundation cracks from inside and outside with epoxy seal. Carlos was so reasonable with his estimate and you can tell he does his best giving you a fair price. They even kept the place clean and used vacuums while working. Ultimately friendly demeanor and professional job. I always recommend Carlos to anyone who needs any brick work done and will continue to do so. He’s hands down such a hard worker."

FAQs for brick or stone tuck pointing projects in Skokie, IL

Masons charge between $70 and $110 per hour. A mason may have a minimum service fee ranging from $80 to $300. Most bricklayers offer free estimates and charge only if you proceed with the project. This clear pricing model assures that professionals inspect your property before beginning work and charge based on your project’s actual requirements.

A professional repointing lasts 20 to 30 years without maintenance and extends up to 50 years when maintained diligently. This process protects your brickwork using high-quality materials that ensure lasting performance and durability. Consistent upkeep preserves its strength and appearance, providing enduring protection and enhancing your home’s overall structural integrity for decades.

You know your house needs repointing when you notice clear signs such as cracked, flaking, or missing mortar and visible discoloration on the brick surfaces. Additional indicators include loose bricks, water damage, and gaps between the brick joints that compromise the overall integrity of the structure. Addressing these issues promptly protects your investment and sustains the durability and curb appeal of your home.

A house needs repointing to preserve both its structural integrity and visual appeal. Mortar acts as a vital bonding agent that holds the bricks securely together. When the mortar deteriorates, it exposes the structure to water infiltration and further decay, increasing the risk of costly repairs. Repointing stops decay and reinforces the exterior, ensuring long-term protection.
