Quick Answer
Emerald Masonry LLC works as a masonry subcontractor for Chicagoland general contractors on tuckpointing and repointing, brick and CMU block work, steel lintel replacement, parapet rebuilds, and façade restoration. We bid off your documents, provide certificates of insurance, W-9s and lien waivers on request, coordinate with the other trades on site, and hold the schedule we committed to. Call (708) 288-1696.
We bid off your documents
Send the drawings and the spec and you get a bid that answers them — scoped, itemized, with inclusions and exclusions written down instead of assumed. If something in the documents will not work in the field, you hear it at bid time, not at rough-in.
Where the masonry scope depends on another trade — flashing, roofing terminations, shelf angles, sealant sequencing — we flag the interface and the sequence we need.
Paperwork that does not hold up your draw
Certificates of insurance naming the parties you need, W-9s, and conditional and unconditional lien waivers on request, returned on your timeline rather than chased.
Daily reports and progress photos if your project requires them, and closeout documentation packaged the way you submit it.
Holding the schedule
Masonry is often on the critical path, and a masonry crew that shows up late pushes every trade behind it. We commit to a manpower plan and staff it.
We work around the other trades on site, coordinate access and staging, and keep the work area clean so the next trade can get in.
Common Questions
Will you bid off our drawings and specifications?
Yes. We bid off your documents with an itemized scope and written inclusions and exclusions, and we flag anything in the drawings or spec that will not work in the field at bid time rather than during construction.
What insurance and lien documentation do you provide?
Certificates of insurance naming the parties you require, W-9s, and conditional and unconditional lien waivers on request, returned on your draw schedule.
What masonry scopes do you self-perform?
Tuckpointing and repointing, brick repair and replacement, CMU block work, steel lintel repair and replacement with flashing, parapet rebuilds and coping, limestone and cast-stone repair, caulking and expansion joints, and masonry waterproofing.
How do you coordinate with the other trades?
We flag the interfaces that affect masonry — flashing, roofing terminations, shelf angles, sealant sequencing — and agree the sequence up front, then work to the site schedule and keep the area clean for the following trade.
Have a building that needs masonry work scoped?
We'll walk it, tell you what's structural and what can wait, and put it in writing before you get a price.
