Commercial Masonry and Cement Services

Concrete Foundations

Pictured is a 12 thickness concrete and rebar machine foundation we did in mid-January at the Carlson companies building on Hwy 55 & CR 6 in Plymouth.

We used one of the most expensive mixes Aggregate Industries (Our Redi-Mix supplier) makes, and had to work within certain weather parameters and slab level tolerances.

A very successful mid-winter challenge!

Tuckpointing

Tuckpointing is a repair that focuses on the mortar joint between brick or stone and does not address the masonry unit itself. The most important thing to know about tuckpointing is what job should not be tuckpointed. There are many situations where tuckpointing is almost a complete waste of money. If you are considering a repair that involves tuckpointing get a free evaluation from us; in many cases we can provide you with more thorough information that will help you to make the most informed decision about your building’s exterior improvement work. Ask us about our modern “dustless” mortar removal system!

The crew is working on the front entryway. some of the bluestone caps have been set on the lower two risers.

The finished product is a huge improvement to the first impression of the house. the face brick colors are picked up in the door and windows. the ny bluestone has a unique beauty of it’s own, it lends itself well in many applications. we installed a new concrete slab in front of the new stoop.

Large Restoration Projects

This building was part of a large restoration project for a west suburban Catholic School.

We tuckpointed the building, replaced brick and cut in a new doorway.
