Customers say: Terrific value

"The owner of the business keeps his word and bids a fair price. He answers your questions. I had two other bids and RC Masonry was the lowest but that wasn't why I chose them. The owner actually took the time to meet me and answered my questions. One tuck pointing business said they would get back with me and they never did. I'm glad I found RC Masonry on HomeAdvisor!"

"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."

"Good work in general; our basement no longer sees water for over 3 years now, which is the most important thing. But there were some real issues: The biggest issue is that USW did not adhere to local electrical codes, and did not arrange for a final inspection of the project. So we didn't find out that it wasn't to code until years later, and now it's a big hassle and minor cost to fix and get the permits. Ask your local gov yourself what you need to do for permits and inspections; don't rely on USW! USW said they would seal any foundation cracks found along the way; they didn't do this until I bugged the warranty dept about it (but they did do it eventually). USW sent someone out for the "annual checkup"... over 2 years after the install. It's a good thing they (eventually) did, because they discovered the backup battery wasn't charging. Now I know to check this stuff better myself. Prices also vary wildly and are kind of negotiable (I'd give more detail but I'm out of space)"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Completing functional masonry work adds clear resale appeal to your home. Buyers in Pekin prioritize structural soundness over decorative additions. Repairing damaged chimneys, tuckpointing brick exteriors, and fixing foundation cracks prevents home inspection failures and keeps your property competitive. A well-maintained brick exterior and a strong chimney stand out to local buyers who want a home built to withstand the harsh central IL winters.

Helpful?

Start by contacting the local building department to check permit requirements for your specific project. Schedule your masonry work between May and October, as mortar needs temperatures above 40 degrees to cure properly. Book a licensed contractor two to three months in advance to secure your spot. Finally, contact the Illinois utility notification system at least 48 hours before any digging begins to keep your property safe.

Helpful?

Request textured or brushed finishes on patios and walkways to prevent slippery surfaces during freezing IL winters. For older homes, hire a certified specialist to safely manage lead paint and silica dust during the masonry work. If you build raised garden beds or retaining walls, account for deep frost heave to prevent unstable edges from creating tripping hazards for your children and pets.

Helpful?

Unstable soils near the river and strict frost-depth footing requirements frequently increase the scope of masonry work. Once a project begins, professionals discover widespread mortar deterioration or missing chimney liners that require immediate attention. In older Pekin homes, mandatory lead and asbestos abatement adds unexpected expenses. Finally, scheduling projects during cold months requires special winter heating practices that increase your overall financial investment.

Helpful?

When planning your initial masonry work, prioritize tuckpointing and mortar joint repairs to combat damage from local freeze-thaw cycles. Next, schedule a chimney inspection to ensure the crown, cap, and flashing are intact before the winter heating season begins. Because Pekin sits near a river floodplain with clay-heavy soils, assess existing foundation cracks and waterproof older brick basement walls to prevent serious moisture infiltration.
