Let Illiana Masonry take care of all your tuckpointing and chimney repair needs. We are a full service masonry company that understands how to fix a chimney the right way.
Most chimney problems can be traced back to poor chimney crown installation. Illiana Masonry won’t just patch a worn out crown but specializes in replacing that crown with proven materials. Most chimneys that have problems do not have a crown that overhangs the chimney, but we will make sure that your cap overhangs the chimney in order to keep the rain and snow off of the brick.

Have you seen mailboxes that are leaning over and look like the Tower of Pisa? Don’t let this happen to you. The problem of the leaning mailbox can be traced to a poor foundation being installed under the mailbox. Many companies will give a “great price” to install your mailbox, but the question that needs to be asked is what is under that mailbox.
A mailbox foundation should be approximately 32” deep with a poured and reinforced footing which is belled out at the bottom. This will insure that your investment will stay straight for a long time.
The actual mailbox itself is also an important component to the mailbox. Make sure you know what you are getting because you don’t want the $15 cheapy that won’t open and close properly after one year. Illiana Masonry installs mailboxes that are high quality and that adjust to insure a proper fit that will serve you well for years to come.

Pressure from moist soil is the number one cause of trouble for most foundations. The built up pressure over the years can cause bowing and cracking of your foundation walls which needs to be addressed. If the wall can be stabilized with beams, that is your most budget friendly solution, but if the walls have gone too far, the way to go is replacement. Illiana Masonry knows how to shore up your home and replace walls quickly and cleanly. We will also install grout and reinforcement bars in order to make sure that your walls stay straight for a long time.
