We offer complete structural solutions to fix crumbling brick, stop leaks, and restore your building’s exterior strength. Our masonry services in Chicago cover everything from preventive maintenance to complete wall rebuilds.

Our crew grinds out failing, powdery mortar joints and packs them tight with a premium weather-resistant mix. We lock out moisture before a single drop can seep behind your walls.

Rusted steel lintels over windows and doors swell up and crack your brickwork. We swap out failing steel, install structural flashing, and create new openings safely without wall sagging.

Roof-level masonry takes the worst beating from Chicago wind. Our expert team rebuilds unstable parapets and installs heavy-duty clay or concrete coping caps to seal out rain entirely.

Spalling, bowing, and cracked brickwork compromise your building's structural integrity. Our crew cuts out the rot, braces the structure safely, and rebuilds the wall so it stands straight for another 50 years.

We apply industrial-grade, breathable silane-siloxane sealants. This keeps driving rain from soaking into your porous brick while allowing trapped interior vapors to escape easily.

Slapping bright grey mortar onto historic Chicago common brick makes it look sloppy. We analyze your existing structure and custom-blend the mortar to match the original hue and strength perfectly.

When water gets trapped in brick, the Chicago freeze-thaw cycle expands that water into ice, literally exploding the brick face. We fix your drainage and flashing to kill this cycle for good.

After the storms a couple weeks ago, I needed a new roof and reached out to Dad Exteriors. Michael came out and did a Dad Check, which was worth the $295 on its own. He was thorough, walked me through the whole quote so I actually understood what I was paying for. The crew showed up on time, respected my property, and cleaned everything up when they were done.
