Customer Reviews
"Front of our house had brick separating above both first-floor windows. These guys diagnosed corroded lintels on the first visit, replaced both, rebuilt the brick, and repointed the surrounding area. The repair is seamless."
Ryan M.
Bolingbrook, IL
"Spalling brick on the west face of our house. Three other contractors quoted just replacing the spalled bricks. This crew traced it back to failed mortar letting water in for years. Fixed the root cause and the spalled section."
Kim T.
Bolingbrook, IL
"Our 1995 home had a stair-step crack on the south side that kept coming back every time we patched it. These guys found the lintel, replaced it, rebuilt the brick. Never came back."
Doug N.
Romeoville, IL
"Significant water damage inside the wall, found during a remodel. They did the full restoration: removed damaged brick, addressed the water entry points, replaced with matched brick, tuckpointed the whole section. Very thorough."

Bolingbrook, IL
Bolingbrook's rapid 1990s build-out produced subdivisions where hundreds of identical brick-veneer homes were constructed in close sequence, which means the masonry failures are now appearing on close sequence as well. The steel lintels installed in 1993 or 1997 are now 25–30 years old, sitting in Will County clay that holds moisture for extended periods. Corrosion in embedded steel is accelerated by soil moisture, and the expansion creates the characteristic stair-step cracking at window and door corners throughout these neighborhoods.
Beyond lintel failures, Bolingbrook's Will County clay creates specific conditions for brick spalling. The soil retains moisture against the base of walls and foundations through wet spring periods, keeping the lower courses of brick in a consistently wet state. Combined with the freeze-thaw cycle, this creates spalling that originates at the bottom courses and works upward, a pattern we see regularly in Bolingbrook's subdivisions along Weber Road and Boughton Road.
We handle masonry restoration throughout Bolingbrook and the surrounding Will County area, including Naperville, Aurora, Wheaton, and Schaumburg. Related services include tuckpointing and masonry waterproofing.
Bolingbrook, IL
Bolingbrook was built almost entirely in the 1990s and early 2000s on Will County clay. The steel lintels from that construction era are now 25–30 years old, the age range where active corrosion becomes visible as cracking and displacement in the brick above every opening. Will County clay is among the most moisture-retentive in northeastern Illinois, which accelerates corrosion in embedded steel and keeps brick walls in contact with moisture longer than drier soils. Addressing lintel failure and brick restoration now, before the structural displacement widens, is the correct and more cost-effective call.
What We See in Bolingbrook
Lintel Failure on 1990s–2000s Construction
Bolingbrook's 1990s build-out used steel lintels that are now entering the active corrosion window. Will County clay moisture accelerates the process, expansion above openings creates stair-step cracks throughout the subdivision stock.
Brick Spalling at Base Courses
Will County clay retains moisture against lower wall courses during wet seasons. Combined with freeze-thaw cycling, this produces spalling that originates at the base and works upward, a pattern concentrated in Bolingbrook's lower-elevation neighborhoods.
Mortar Failure on Exposed Elevations
Bolingbrook's west and south-facing elevations receive direct weather exposure. Mortar joints deteriorate faster on these faces, creating water entry points that compound into broader masonry damage if not addressed.
Water Damage in Wall Assemblies
Ongoing moisture entry through failed masonry saturates sheathing and framing. In Bolingbrook's 1990s homes, this damage is often discovered during remodels, by which point the scope has grown significantly from what early intervention would have required.

Questions
My Bolingbrook home was built in the late 1990s, is it old enough to need masonry restoration?
Yes. Steel lintels from 1990s construction are now in the 25–30 year range, the window when active corrosion and expansion begin producing visible displacement. Will County clay accelerates the process. We see this across Bolingbrook's subdivisions regularly.
Why do stair-step cracks keep coming back after patching?
Because the lintel is still corroding and expanding. Patching the crack without replacing the lintel means the crack reappears, typically within one to two winters. The lintel is the structural cause, that's what has to be replaced.
Can you source brick to match my 1990s Bolingbrook home?
In most cases yes. The brick used in Bolingbrook's 1990s construction was drawn from a limited range of suppliers, many of which have discontinued specific colors and textures. We work with salvage suppliers and specialty sources to match what you have.
Do you serve other cities near Bolingbrook?
Yes. We work throughout the Will County and surrounding region, including Naperville, Aurora, Wheaton, and Schaumburg.
