Tuckpointing in the Haskell Historic District, Rockford, IL
Rockford Masonry Repair is a licensed and insured masonry contractor working in the Haskell Historic District, one of Rockford's older residential neighborhoods. We tuckpoint brick, repair chimneys, rebuild steps, and replace failed brick on the homes that make up the district.
Haskell is a residential district of older homes, and the masonry follows suit. The brick predates the modern portland era, so it is soft and set in lime mortar, and the front steps, porches, and chimneys have all been standing through decades of Illinois winters.
Steps and chimneys are common calls in a neighborhood like this. A brick front stoop sits flat, holds snowmelt and salt, and settles until it rocks at the door. A chimney spalls at the top and washes its joints out from a cracked crown. Both are freeze-thaw working on old masonry, and both are worth handling before they spread.
We handle tuckpointing and repointing, step and porch repair, chimney repair, and brick replacement in the Haskell District. Call (815) 555-0142 for a free estimate.
