WickRight General Contracting offers excellent masonry, brick, block, split face block, concrete block, and stone services, as well as glass block repair services at reasonable prices in Winnetka. Call 312-720-1467 today for an estimate from an expert. If your masonry walls are cracking, you may need ventilation installed on your parapets to release moisture vapor. The capstones, metal copings or clay tiles on top of your parapet walls may be leaking, causing the parapet walls to become wet and leak into your home. The mortar in your masonry walls may need tuckpointing or re-pointing. Your building may have shifted and the expansion joints need to be repaired. Give us a call and have a building evaluation performed so you can keep your building dry and plan for any necessary repairs. We also repair and replace glass block.


Siloxane and Elastomeric Masonry Sealant Applications - Winnetka

Not all masonry buildings require sealant, but if you own a building built after 1990, chances are at least one wall is constructed with modern materials like split face block or jumbo block, the parapet walls may have be finished with capstones that look like limestone, but are actually Renaissance Stone or pre-cast concrete or there are decorative details on the building that look like limestone, but are actually Renaissance Stone or pre-cast concrete. All of these modern materials are highly porous and prone to absorbing rain water which moves through these materials and into your building. If your Winnetka home is experiencing mysterious leaks, give WickRight General Contracting a call 312-720-1467. Your building may need parapet ventilation installed, custom flashings designed to divert bulk water and masonry sealant to help the mortar and the block resist moisture intrusion and wind driven rain. WickRight General Contracting installs masonry sealants, including clear sealants, like Chemtrete, Prosoco and various elastomeric paints, like Modac, sometimes called "plugger" paints.


Innovative Split Face Block Repair in Winnetka, IL

Some masonry buildings built in Winnetka since 1990 are wet. These wet buildings need specialized services to mitigate water and moisture intrusion and to dry out. Buildings built with split face block and other modern masonry products like "jumbo brick"  and "Renaissance Stone" need custom flashing and parapet ventilation to release moisture trapped in the building's walls and roof system. We recommend installing WickRight passive ventilation on buildings built with split face block, concrete block, jumbo block and Renaissance Stone or precast concrete. Buildings built with split face block, concrete block, jumbo block also need to be sealed with masonry sealant. Renaissance stone and pre-cast concrete are difficult to seal, so we suggest covering these details with sheet metal or designing custom flashings to divert water and rain away from these materials. WickRight General Contracting offers excellent split face block and pre-cast concrete repair services in Winnetka at reasonable prices. Call 312-720-1467 today for an estimate.
