Brick Repair for Historic Chicago Churches

Historic Chicago churches are one of the many important staples of the city of Chicago and its community. Unfortunately though, as time has gone on, these churches have started to crumble. Whether it’s because of Chicago’s varying weather conditions or simply aging, it’s clear that repair is needed as soon as possible. Not only do these crumbling, beautiful historic churches look discomforting from an aesthetic standpoint, but it’s also fundamentally dangerous seeing as the folks who visit these churches are at risk of building collapse.

So what’s the best way to go about fixing this damage? Tuckpointing is the obvious answer.

Oftentimes, it’s easy to try to repair these cracks yourself – but this simply isn’t a smart idea if you’re not 100% sure that you know what you’re doing. By hiring someone that can professionally tuckpoint your apartment building’s brick-and-mortar damage, you won’t have to worry about any aesthetic difference in the brick pattern/color – and more importantly any faulty structures that can often be unsafe.

At its core, tuckpointing is the process of filling in open joints and gaps in an industrial mortar structure with a proper mortar mix. This mortar mix will blend with your existing brick color and texture/profile, making it look as if the building was brand new. This is perfect for damage done to these historic Chicago churches – any cracks in the mortar of your church will essentially dissolve once this process is done, and it’ll be done to a T.

Whether you’re a small/big business, an auto body shop, a corner convenience store, or really any other Chicago business that is based in a brick-and-mortar building, it’s clear that you matter a great deal within The Windy City. This is why we at Arrow Masonry want to make sure that your buildings are entirely together – not a single wall should be crumbling, for aesthetic’s sake and to an even more salient point – for safety’s sake.

When it comes to small/big businesses, auto body shops, or corner convenience stores in Chicago, typically we witness the same issues as any other industrial building: flaking mortar joints that are now deemed unattractive…or oftentimes, unsafe.

Arrow Masonry uses a process known as tuckpointing, which is essentially the rebuilding and refurbishing of industrial brick-and-mortar buildings. To put it in more specific terms, tuckpointing involves using the correct mortar mix to fix mortar joints on industrial buildings that have cracked, flaked, or disintegrated due to the harsh effects of the elements. The right material and technique are enough to deliver a water-tight job – but we also believe that appearance is a top priority. Our skilled crews carefully select the proper mortar mix and tools to complement your existing mortar color and profile.

This process will work wonders for any flaking brick-and-mortar business in the Windy City, regardless of if you’re a small/big business, an auto body shop, or a corner convenience store. Seeing as we have successfully completed thousands of projects for commercial, multiunit, and industrial properties for over 50 years, we would be beyond glad to take on your industrial brick-and-mortar building today! With our passion for Chicagoland’s community, structural integrities, and positive appearances, we at Arrow Masonry want to do our best to make sure that restoration for your building is done to a tee.
