Customers say: True professional

"We enjoyed working w/Opperman on our Pergola project. We also added a 7x7 privacy wall to the side of our deck. We are happy with the final product. The Opperman Hardscape team were easy to work with and kept in good contact with us for project updates. We felt we made good choice in deciding to work with them. Trustworthy company. The work crew of 3 were on time everyday. They worked with us on suggestions we had without issue. The crew was courteous, friendly, cleaned up after themselves every day and left the work area picked up and tidy. ie small pieces of wood, tile, etc. We appreciated their helpfulness throughout. I would recommend you call Opperman Hardscape for your next project. The quote they provided was fair, and I don’t mind paying a local, family business for good work. Thank you Opperman Hardscape!"

"Pivotal was contacted about porch pillar shifting. Jeff was exceptionally prompt and communicative. He drove out to look at the site...which was a 30 min. drive. He called the day of the appt. and said he might be a little late...(very thoughtful). After looking at it, he suggested a simpler and less expensive solution. I didn't think there were contractors like this around anymore. I would not hesitate to hire him....he's pretty rare."

"I am very pleased with the work done by Greentree Waterproofing and would recommend them to anyone. They were very responsive. I called on a Monday morning after having water in our basement since the previous Saturday and within two hours an inspector was at our home to give us an estimate on the work needed. A crew arrived the following Monday and by Wednesday afternoon the work was done. Previous to this work being done, we always had water in our sump pump and it ran almost daily. Since Greentree did their work, we haven't heard the sump run and the pit is dry. Very impressed with the work and would use them again."

"Excellent quality of work and customer care. Great value offered and very satisfied with the end result. We addressed an 80 foot piece of fence with river rock (8 tons) and it looks great. They also built us a patio with brick pavers. It looks great as well. Would hire again and recommend to anyone looking for professional landscaping and hardscaping."

"If Don ever wants to stop busting concrete & digging for a living (but I hope he doesn't), he could go into business consulting on Customer Service. It's great that our basement stays dry for the first time since we moved in over 30 years ago, but what blew me away was how good he was at everything contractors aren't generally known for: *Responded immediately to request for quote. *Followed exactly when I asked him to (wanted to wait a couple of months to schedule). *Then when I was ready to start, called when he had an opening & started our project EARLY. *On site personally every day. *Started every day by telling me what they were going to do & asked if I had any questions. *Cleaned up site every day, then told me what they'd done, would do next day, & asked again if we had any questions. *His crew was very good & reflected his customer relations skills. Can't recommend him highly enough!"

"We had extensive landscaping done all around our house and yard. We needed all old rocks and bricks removed from clear around our home and new bricks and landscaping rocks replaced. Also they removed a tree and dug out all of the roots so they could plant a new tree. We had 9 new trees planted with stones around them and new landscaping rocks. They also put in drip lines and new irrigation heads. We had 3 very large trees that needed bricks,concrete and rocks removed around them and replaced with new stones and rocks. They refigured some new landscaping in our front yard. After completing the landscaping they seeded our whole yard. Everyone was extremely professional and friendly. They did a fantastic job. Even with everything they did it was done in extremely hot 90 degrees. They showed up on time and worked very hard to complete the job. I highly recommend this company they were excellent with everything they did."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

Completing masonry work significantly improves your home's curb appeal and inspection outcomes in the Decatur market. Proactively addressing foundation cracks, deteriorated mortar, and chimney damage prevents delayed closings and removes major obstacles for buyers. Restoring historic brick with period-correct materials holds high value for buyers seeking older homes. Upgrading these exterior elements protects the structural integrity of your property while making a strong impression on prospective buyers.

Helpful?

The age of your Decatur home strongly impacts masonry work. Homes built before 1950 feature soft historic brick that requires specialized mortar to prevent surface damage. A limestone foundation also demands specific expertise to handle moisture sensitivity safely. Crawl spaces limit access for foundation repairs, while steep roof pitches require specialized staging for chimney access. Inspect the transition points between original brick structures and newer wood-frame additions for complex structural issues.

Helpful?

Watch for stair-step cracking in brick or block, which signals foundation settlement in IL clay soils. Mortar deterioration deeper than a quarter inch allows water to channel directly into the wall system. Reappearing efflorescence indicates an active moisture intrusion problem that requires immediate attention. Bowing basement walls and leaning chimneys are serious structural hazards. Address these masonry work issues promptly to prevent accelerating damage and total brick failure.

Helpful?

To keep your home protected from harsh IL winters, masonry work requires routine tuckpointing. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles cause mortar to crack, making prompt repairs essential. You should also address efflorescence, which appears as white salt deposits on brick surfaces. Inspect for cracks every spring, seal your foundation to block moisture from clay-heavy soil, and clear drainage paths to prevent standing water from accelerating deterioration.

Helpful?

Start planning your masonry work by securing required building permits for structural projects like new foundations or retaining walls. You must ensure all plans comply with the Illinois Building Code. Schedule the project between late April and October to prevent freezing temperatures from ruining the mortar. Always contact the local utility locating service before any digging begins, and check your neighborhood guidelines for specific material or height restrictions in Decatur.
