Master Masonry & Restoration Services in Winnetka, IL
Irish Construction Group: Preserving Winnetka’s Finest Historic Brick & Stone Architecture.
What We do
Uncompromised Masonry Craftsmanship for Winnetka Estates
Winnetka features some of the finest residential architecture on Chicago's North Shore—including historic Tudor brick homes, classic Georgian estates, and custom stone masonry near Lake Michigan. Irish Construction Group delivers specialized restoration services tailored to these prestigious properties.
High-end masonry requires a delicate touch. Using harsh, modern Portland cement on soft historic brick or original stone can cause irreversible stress cracks and damage.
Brendan Coyle and his master team specialize in historic preservation, utilizing period-correct lime mortar mixes, custom aggregate matching, and gentle joint grinding techniques that protect the long-term integrity and architectural heritage of Winnetka homes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Masonry Services in Winnetka
Do you provide professional masonry services in Winnetka, IL?
Yes! Irish Construction Group proudly provides professional masonry services throughout Winnetka, IL. From tuckpointing and brick repair to chimney restoration, stonework, and new masonry construction, our experienced team delivers durable craftsmanship that enhances both the beauty and structural integrity of your property.
Why is soft mortar matching critical for historic Winnetka homes?
Many historic Georgian and Tudor homes in Winnetka were built using softer, historic bricks. Using modern, hard Portland cement mortar can cause these vintage bricks to crack under natural thermal expansion. We custom-mix period-correct, high-lime mortar to safeguard your historic masonry.
How do you ensure dust and debris stay contained during mortar grinding?
We utilize dust suppression systems, heavy-duty drop cloths, and protective sheeting over windows, landscaping, and adjacent structures to leave your property spotless when the job is done.
