Exterior Finishing in Mt Prospect, IL

We've been working on homes in Mt Prospect, IL for over 20 years. That means we know where water gets in, where trim fails first, and what materials hold up when February hits. We don't subcontract the work out to whoever is available. Our own crew shows up, does the job, and backs it up.

Homeowners come to us when they want one contractor who can handle the whole exterior, not three different guys who never talk to each other. We sequence the work correctly so siding, brick, and trim all work together as a system. If you're also thinking about a home addition or other structural changes, we can fold the exterior finishing into that scope so nothing gets redone twice.

Mt Prospect, IL sits in a climate zone that throws a lot at an exterior. Freeze-thaw cycles through winter crack mortar joints and push moisture behind siding panels. Hot, humid summers cause cheaper materials to warp or bubble. We spec materials rated for Illinois conditions and pay close attention to flashing and caulk details that other crews often skip. Getting those details right is what separates an exterior that looks good for two years from one that looks good for twenty.

Vinyl Siding Installation and Replacement

Vinyl siding is one of the most practical choices for Mt Prospect, IL homes. It handles temperature swings without rotting or needing paint, and modern profiles look sharp on both older colonials and newer construction. We cut and fit panels so seams fall in the right places and water drains away from the wall, not into it.

If your current siding is cracked, warped, or just dated, replacement is usually straightforward. We pull the old material, inspect the sheathing underneath, address any moisture damage we find, and install the new siding with proper housewrap and trim details.

Brick Pointing and Masonry Repairs

Brick pointing, sometimes called repointing or tuckpointing, is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from joints and packing in fresh material. It sounds simple but the mix ratio and application technique matter a lot. Use mortar that's too hard and it cracks the brick faces. Use the wrong color and the whole wall looks patchy.

We match existing mortar profiles as closely as possible so repairs blend in. If you've got spalling brick or larger sections of damaged masonry, we can handle that as part of the same project rather than leaving it for later.
