Masonry Repair

Masonry repair addresses the brick, block, and mortar elements of a building that take on stress from Chicago's freeze-thaw winters and seasonal shifts. Over time, mortar joints can weaken, bricks can loosen, and water can find its way into gaps that were once sealed tight. Perez Roofing & Masonry Inc. approaches these repairs as part of keeping a building's full exterior — roof and walls alike — working together against the weather.

Common Issues We Address

Deteriorated mortar joints — crumbling or missing mortar that lets moisture into the wall structure.
Loose or shifting brick — units that have moved out of alignment due to settling or freeze-thaw cycles.
Parapet wall wear — damage along rooftop parapet walls where exposure to wind and water is highest.
Chimney deterioration — cracked or eroded masonry around chimney structures that can allow water intrusion.

How We Handle Repairs

Francisco Perez, owner of Perez Roofing & Masonry Inc., oversees masonry restoration work alongside the company's roofing services. Repairs are carried out using tuckpointing grinders for clean, consistent mortar joint work, with fall protection and safety systems in place for any work done at height. Where masonry meets the roofline, sheet metal flashing fabrication helps keep transitions between brick and roofing materials properly sealed against water.
