Professional Masonry Repair and Restoration in Chicago, IL

Chicago is one of the most iconic masonry cities in the country — and our buildings show it. But with time, weather, and age, brick structures start to crack, loosen, or decay. That's where we come in.
At J&P Masonry Inc., we specialize in masonry repair and restoration for residential and commercial buildings across all Chicago neighborhoods. Our work is designed to keep your property safe, strong, and beautiful.
Why Homeowners Choose Us for Masonry Repair
We match your existing brick so repairs look natural
We restore structural strength, not just the surface
We follow Chicago building standards and codes

Brick Replacement Services – Clean, Seamless, and Durable

Not all damaged bricks can be repaired. Sometimes they must be fully replaced — and when that happens, matching the right color and size is critical. Poor brick replacement can ruin the look of a building. Good brick replacement disappears into the wall.
We do it the right way.
Our Brick Replacement Process
Carefully remove damaged or spalled bricks
Match the original color, texture, and size
Install new bricks with proper drainage and ventilation
Seal and smooth mortar joints to blend naturally
Whether you live near Millennium Park, along Lakeshore Drive, in Humboldt Park, Bronzeville, or Bridgeport, we ensure your repaired wall looks clean, solid, and invisible to the eye.

Professional Tuckpointing Services – Chicago’s #1 Brick Protection
Tuckpointing is one of the most essential masonry services for Chicago buildings. When mortar begins to crack, soften, or fall out, it exposes your brick to serious water damage. This leads to interior leaks, mold, wall shifting, and expensive structural problems.
Proper tuckpointing restores your masonry’s strength before bigger issues develop.
Our Tuckpointing Includes

Removing crumbling, loose, or damaged mortar
Cleaning joints for optimal bonding
Installing fresh mortar that matches your home
Sealing the brick to slow down future damage
We perform:
✔ Full-wall tuckpointing
✔ Spot tuckpointing
✔ Chimney and parapet wall tuckpointing
✔ Decorative tuckpointing for historic buildings
If you're asking, “Why is tuckpointing important?” or “Do I really need tuckpointing?” — the answer is simple:
It protects your home from water and winter damage.
And in Chicago, that’s non-negotiable.
Chimney Repair Services in Chicago, IL
Chimneys take more abuse than any other masonry structure in a home. Heat, rain, snow, and the freeze-thaw cycle cause brick and mortar to break down faster.

Brick and mortar repair
Crown and cap repair
Chimney flashing repair
Water and leak protection
Smoke chamber & firebox repair
If your chimney is leaning, cracking, leaking, or shedding debris, we can diagnose and fix it quickly and safely.

If you're located anywhere in Chicago, J&P Masonry Inc. provides the most reliable, long-lasting masonry and tuckpointing services. We are local, skilled, and trusted across the entire city.

Keep mortar joints sealed with regular tuckpointing
Replace damaged bricks quickly
Seal vulnerable areas like chimneys and parapet walls
Repair cracks before freezing temperatures return
