Tuckpointing and Masonry Repair in Rockton, IL
Rockford Masonry Repair works throughout Rockton, Illinois, in the Rock River Valley at the north edge of Winnebago County. We are a licensed and insured masonry contractor doing tuckpointing, historic brick repair, stone restoration, and chimney work across the village.
Rockton has one of the oldest cores in the county and its own historic district. The brick and stone in that old center predate the modern portland era, laid in soft lime mortar to match soft brick. This is the oldest masonry we work on outside Rockford's own historic districts, and it needs the most careful match.
On a wall this old, the mortar is the job. We point in a lime mix keyed to the original, matched for sand and color, so the repair moves with the brick and reads as part of the wall. A hard portland joint forced into old Rockton brick would crack the faces the first hard winter, which is the opposite of a repair.
Our Rockton work centers on repointing, stone and masonry restoration, and matched brick replacement, along with chimney rebuilding. Every project starts with a free written estimate.
Call (815) 555-0142 for a free estimate in Rockton. Historic brick and stone are our regular work, and we point old walls in the mortar they were built with.
