Quick Answer
Emerald Masonry LLC works with Chicagoland property management companies on tuckpointing, façade and parapet repair, lintel replacement, and brick repair across single buildings and multi-property portfolios. Property managers get an itemized written scope they can compare bid-to-bid, phased scheduling against budget cycles, tenant-coordinated staging, certificates of insurance, W-9s and lien waivers on request, and photo documentation from pre-bid through punch list.

Bids you can actually compare
The hardest part of buying masonry is that three bids rarely describe the same job. One prices spot repointing, one prices the elevation, one prices a rebuild — and the cheapest number is usually the smallest scope.
We itemize by elevation and repair type, with quantities, so you can line up bids against each other, defend a recommendation to an owner, and know exactly what was left out of the low number.
Documentation your file needs
Certificates of insurance, W-9s, and lien waivers on request. Written scopes, before-and-after photo documentation, and a certificate of completion at closeout.
If a condition changes mid-project — hidden deterioration behind a failed lintel is the classic one — you get the photo and the number before we proceed, not on the final invoice.
Work that respects your tenants
Staging plans, protected entries and walkways, noise-window coordination, and daily cleanup. We give you the notice language for tenants and the schedule to attach to it.
For portfolios, we sequence buildings by risk so the water-entry and safety conditions get handled first while the rest is planned against next year's budget.
Common Questions
Do you work across multiple buildings in a portfolio?
Yes. We scope and sequence portfolios so the highest-risk conditions are addressed first, with the remaining buildings phased across budget cycles under one plan and one point of contact.
What documentation do you provide for our files?
Certificates of insurance, W-9s, and lien waivers on request; written itemized scopes; before-and-after photo documentation; and a certificate of completion. Tell us your intake requirements and we will match them.
How do you handle tenant notice and access?
We give you the schedule and the conditions to include in your tenant notice, then work to it — staging, protected entries, noise windows, and daily site cleanup around occupancy.
How do you handle change orders?
Hidden conditions are documented with photos and priced before we proceed. You approve the change before the work happens; nothing surprising shows up on the final invoice.
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.
