Tuckpointing, chimneys and foundations for Lakewood houses, just across the river.
Lakewood sits right across the Rocky River from our home base, and its older housing keeps a mason busy. We repoint brick, rebuild chimneys, repair foundations and waterproof basements on houses all over the city, with the same family crew on every job.
Call or text (440) 333-5385 to set up a free estimate. We look at the masonry in person and give you a straight answer on what it needs, and what it does not.
A lot of Lakewood housing went up in the early 1900s.
Chimneys and walls a few feet from the neighbor.
Repairs that blend into old brick.
Lakewood is one of the most densely built cities in Ohio, and much of it was built in the early 1900s: big frame houses, doubles and brick apartment buildings on narrow lots. After a century, chimneys lean, crowns crack and mortar joints wash out, and on a tight lot a failing chimney is a problem for the neighbors too.
Old basements are the other story. Many Lakewood foundations were built long before modern waterproofing, so water finds its way through block and stone joints every spring. We find why the masonry is failing, repair it, and waterproof at the source so the fix holds.
