When to Call
Deteriorated mortar is the most common path for water to enter Chicago brick buildings. By the time interior damage is visible, the facade has been failing for years.
Failing mortar lets moisture into the joint, where it expands on freezing. Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles accelerate the damage with every passing season.
Chicago inspectors cite facade deficiencies regularly. A citation comes with a deadline. Documented repair by a licensed contractor is the only path to compliance.
Pre-purchase inspections routinely flag masonry issues. Buyers need an accurate scope before closing. Sellers need documented remediation to protect the transaction.

Learn More ›Why Arrow
Every tuckpointing job starts with mortar matching. We custom-blend, pull a sample, and test the color before any joint gets packed. The goal is a repair that blends into the building. Competitors skip this step. We consider it the job.
Large projects get broken into priority lists. Critical work comes first. We structure the scope so boards can manage budgets without deferring essential repairs. We do not write the biggest possible scope to maximize the invoice.
Scheduling changes get communicated before they happen, not after. Property managers are accountable to residents and boards. They cannot afford a crew that disappears without a word mid-project.
Arrow serves condo associations, property managers, and building owners across Chicago's north side neighborhoods and 70+ Chicagoland suburbs. From Lincoln Park to Lake Forest, from Evanston to Palatine.
See All Service Locations"Arrow did tuckpointing on our 40-unit building in Evanston. The mortar match was excellent. You honestly cannot tell where the old work ends and the new work begins. That was the most important thing for our board."
"We had a city citation and needed documentation fast. Arrow assessed the building, gave us a clear scope, and completed the work on schedule. The inspector signed off without any issues."
"I manage six buildings. Arrow is the only masonry contractor I call. They tell me what the building needs, not the most expensive thing they can do. That matters a lot when you're managing association budgets."
