Masonry Restoration

Masonry Restoration Services in Chicago

Bruno Construction Masonry provides professional masonry restoration for residential, commercial, condo, and high-rise buildings throughout Chicago and surrounding suburbs. With over 40 years of experience, we restore deteriorated brick, stone, block, and mortar to protect structural integrity and prevent water-related damage.

Our restoration work focuses on durability, safety, and long-term building preservation using proper materials and industry-approved repair methods.

What Is Masonry Restoration?

Masonry restoration involves repairing, rebuilding, or renewing deteriorated components of a brick or stone structure. Unlike basic patching, true restoration addresses the underlying cause of damage, ensuring the building remains strong and protected.

Restoration may include:

Removing damaged or loose brick
Rebuilding structural sections
Stabilizing façade components
Correcting water infiltration issues
Replacing rusted steel supports
Restoring mortar joints
Improving safety and code compliance

Our goal is to restore the exterior to a stable, weather-resistant condition that lasts for decades.
