Palos Hills buildings we work on
Much of Palos Hills was built out from the 1960s on. The single-family streets are largely brick ranches, raised ranches and split-levels, and many now have tired mortar, worn chimney crowns and the original lintels over picture windows and garages. The town's many two- and three-storey brick condo and apartment buildings have long walls, exposed corners, balconies, stairwells and flat roofs with parapets, which is where we usually find the worst joints, cracked brick and rusted steel. Along Roberts Road and the commercial corridors, one- and two-storey brick retail and office buildings round it out.
What a masonry project looks like for a Palos Hills board
For condo and HOA buildings, the masonry work is only half the job. The other half is making it easy for a board to approve and for residents to live with. Here's how we run it:
- Walk every building and elevation, photograph conditions and mark them by location.
- Rank the work — loose or overhead masonry and active leaks first, then deterioration, then appearance.
- Put it in writing by building and component so the board can approve it in phases if the budget calls for it.
- Plan around residents — notices, protected entrances, parking and work hours.
- Walk the finished work with the manager or a board member before we call it done.
Single-family homeowners get the same straight assessment, just on a smaller scale.
How to choose a masonry contractor in Palos Hills
- Insurance certificate before work starts, naming the association or owner where required.
- A written, itemized scope by building and elevation, so boards can compare bids fairly.
- Mortar matched to the existing brick in color and strength.
- A phasing plan for occupied buildings: entrances, walkways, parking and resident notices.
- Clarity on who's doing the work and who the board or owner calls with questions.
