Protecting Elmhurst's Diverse Brick Housing Stock
Why Elmhurst Homeowners Choose Expert Tuckpointing
Elmhurst's residential neighborhoods span multiple eras of construction, from early 20th-century craftsman homes near downtown to post-war brick ranches and colonials throughout the community. This diversity in masonry age and construction style means tuckpointing needs vary significantly by neighborhood and home vintage. We bring the right approach to each.
DuPage County's climate delivers 30–50 freeze-thaw cycles per year, among the highest in the Midwest. Elmhurst's older neighborhoods, particularly near the Metra station and along historic main streets, have brick homes that have experienced this stress for 80–100 years. The mortar in these walls has long exceeded its design life, and visible cracking is almost universal on unrepointed pre-war masonry in this area.
