We handle everything from tuckpointing and masonry repair to chimney relining and cleaning, ensuring your home’s exterior stands strong against Chicago’s harsh weather conditions.

At Midway Chimney & Masonry, we combine advanced restoration methods with deep local knowledge to provide long-lasting solutions for homes across Chicago. Our licensed masonry contractors and certified chimney sweeps understand how to protect your property from freeze-thaw damage, moisture intrusion, and structural deterioration — common issues for Chicago’s historic and modern brick homes alike.
Tuckpointing is the process of replacing deteriorated mortar joints with fresh, color-matched mortar to seal gaps and reinforce your walls. Our skilled crews carefully remove damaged mortar, apply flexible, high-strength materials, and blend everything seamlessly to match your existing brickwork. This not only strengthens your structure but also revitalizes your home’s exterior appearance.
From cracked or spalling bricks to worn concrete surfaces, our repair services target damage at the source. We replace individual bricks, fix mortar joints, and restore lintels or concrete sills using durable, weather-resistant materials. Every repair is performed with attention to detail to ensure structural stability and a perfect visual match to your home’s design.
We recommend a professional chimney cleaning and inspection at least once a year. This helps remove creosote buildup, prevent fire hazards, and identify any masonry damage early before it becomes a costly problem.
Look for cracked mortar joints, flaking bricks, white powdery deposits (efflorescence), or loose stones. These are early indicators of moisture damage and should be addressed quickly to prevent structural deterioration.
Most tuckpointing, chimney cleaning, or minor masonry repairs can be completed within one to three days, depending on the scope of work and weather conditions. Larger projects such as full chimney rebuilds or concrete restoration may take several days to a week to ensure proper curing and long-lasting results.
